10 years? i don't know about 10 days...

Ten years is a long road. I can't even begin to pretend to know what it'll hold. I can make some assumptions and a few wishes, but never could I set anything in stone.
In ten years I'll be married with children; hopefully, with a few children. I'd like to think that we're pretty well settled into a house with plans to stay their for at least a few more years before trying to find or build our dream house that we'll live in until we're senile. Job-wise I would like to be deep into my second job if not starting my third (and hopefully final) job. I have no idea what that job description might be, but I know it'll be something that makes me smile and gives me a daily sense of accomplishment.
I think my oldest child will probably be about 7 years old. Honestly, I'm hoping that my oldest will be a boy so that he can protect his younger siblings, but God is sovereign and His plans are a lot better than mine. If I do have a boy I suppose he and I will be spending a lot of time in the woods and around water. Its importantly to me that my kids have a healthy respect for the wilderness and learn to enjoy time outdoors. It also will give me an excuse to spend more time hunting and fishing. If I have any girls I supposed I'll be spending a lot of time playing dress-up...

GA 101: Intro to Gareth

Hey ya'll. My name's Gareth and I'm assuming that you're in my english class. If not then you must be one of those blog-addicts, and you need to step away from the computer and go do something outside - nevermind the hypothermia; it builds character.
Alright, the basics: I'm from Greenville, SC and went to Wade Hampton High School. I played football and soccer and was a co-editor of the newspaper. I came to Clemson as a mechanical engineer. I stayed in ME for 3 years including summers and 3 semesters of Co-op at TimkenUS Corporation. I enjoyed ME but knew I didn't want to actually be an engineer so I switched to a major in Business Management and a minor in engineering. Because of all this I'm in my 5th year and won't finish until next December ('07).
Along the way I've been involved in multiple intramural teams including the 06 Co-ed flag-football champions The Real Deal. I've also been involved in campus FCA (fellowship of christian athletes) as well as on staff with the athletics side of FCA. This past fall I played on the founding Clemson Club Football (read: full contact football vs. other schools, eg. UNC, Duke) team and earned all-conference honors as a linebacker. I've also been dating the same girl since high school and this past October I told her that I wanted her to be the only girl I ever dated. We're getting married in May, and I'm really excited.
The other things I love all involve the outdoors. I have a 1972 Jeepster Commando that I work on and take offroad. I love to hunt; deer are my favorite challenge. Fishing is a big release for me. I love to spend time flyfishing the Chattooga and Nantahala Rivers.
I assume that's enough info to qualify for my first blog. I hope to get to know a few of ya'll, and I hope we all get A's. I'll see you in class...
