The Beginning

Welcome to the Fatherhood Thrill Ride. This blog is part of my 35 minus One Project which is my one year journey into becoming a great man. The Fatherhood Thrill Ride is my journey in becoming both a better husband and a better father. I really want to be the best husband in the world and the best father in the world. I know those might be silly goals but I don't know why any of us men shouldn't strive to give our loved ones the best. That being said I know I am not even close to being called the best at either. I think every once in a while I show a little glimmer of being a good father or a good husband but then I start to focus on myself instead.

I feel that I am a very lucky man to have such a great wife and amazing 3 kids. I love my wife, Amy, very much. She is very loving to me and I can't think of one wrong thing she has ever done to me in the 10 years we have been married. I want to have a wife that feels very secure and loved by her husband. I need to become better at meeting Amy's needs.

I love my kids but I am always worried that I am not giving them enough attention, teaching them enough things or showing them enough love. I want my kids to grow up knowing how proud I am of them and how much I love them. And I also want to have real meaningful relationship with them when they become adults.

This blog will talk about my struggles as a father and a husband and it will talk about some things I have been trying to do for my kids and wife lately. See you next Tuesday.
