To let me viewers get to know me better, I have decided to answer 40 random questions. As I continue the Glimpse Into My Life series, I figured it would also be good to give you even more insight into my thoughts and life.
So here we go…

An Update…
Hello Followers:
I do apologize for my absence the last many months. With the my newest job, life changes, Holidays, and other events, I have been very busy. Here are a few things to expect coming from me and the site for 2018…
Glimpse Into My Life… Pt. 20
When the iPhone 4 was announced, I was totally excited to soon upgrade to this device. I was still using an iPhone 3G as I skipped on upgrading to the iPhone 3GS. This iPhone, now being an all time favorite of iPhone owners, was mocked and made fun of for its design in the beginning.
My father and I wanted to upgrade to this device. We decided, for a first, to camp out at our local Apple Store so we could get our hands on this new device on launch day. We made plans, a few days prior, to make sure we would be some of the first customers in line.
My father was a truck driver and just got off his shift (12 hours) and home around 10PM the night before. I worked as a manager at a grocery store and worked 10-8PM that day. We met up at his house at 11PM and took off to the Apple Store. We arrived there just before midnight.
Glimpse Into My Life Series
This series gives you some real insight to my life, the ups and downs that I have had, and amazing memories that I have shared. It took some looking back on some (good and bad), and I had to be brave on others.
Many readers of this site have learned a great deal about me with these posts. From amazing times when I asked my wife to marry me, to sad times when my best friend moved away. One thing that I have always focused on is the truth. I have always viewed myself as an open book, and I wanted to share my story.
I have some more “Glimpses Into My Life” posts coming up. From bad decisions I have made to amazing moments I have been in, I want to continue sharing my life and my story.
If you have not read any or just a few of this series, I would recommend clicking on the link below and start from the first post. There are a total of nineteen, so far, in this series. I do hope you enjoy reading them, as much as I enjoyed writing them.

This Road…
The Foundation Of Life…
A Glimpse Into My Life… Pt. XIX
As I look back over my past two years… There has been many people that have come into my life. Many, of which, have come into my life in a positive way. About two years ago, I reconnected with my best friend that I lost contact with because of my past marriage. We had a lot of catching up to do, and we had to rebuild our friendship. I was happy that she accepted me back into her life, because I definitely didn’t deserve it.
We went to a Lil Wayne concert together and she introduce me to two amazing women that I have become close with over the past two years: Tiffany and Shannon. These two ladies got me out of the house and put me back into the social world. From there, I have met many new friends. Most, of which, are very close to my heart. If it wasn’t for these new people in my life, I don’t know where my life would be right now. They helped me build a foundation in my life. They helped me grow confidence in myself. They helped bring happiness back into my life.
From meeting Tiffany and Shannon, I have meet two guys that I find cool as hell: Aaron and Jordan. Though we might not always agree on everything, we all still enjoy each others company. Partying with these two guys and the ladies always bring out good times. Many memories come from many late Saturday night hangouts.
I feel I have lost connections with my friends. One for reasons I don’t understand, and others for reasons of me not being able to get out and hang with them. In other words, I need to step up and be there for my friends as they have stepped up and were there for me. There is a big event coming up in two weeks… and it is going to be an awesome night. This will be one for the memory books.
To all my friends that are close to me… I am sorry if I have been distant. I have some areas of life that I do need to improve on, and I just want to let you know that you still have a friend here… I just hope I haven’t caused too much damage already.
Love everyone…

We enjoyed wonderful walks on the beach every morning…
We visited the boardwalk…
We visited the light house…
We visited Disney World’s Epcot…

Preparing…
Vacation “Preparing”…
Hmmmmm… How about “procrastinating”. LOL
Actually, I have been preparing for my vacation this year better than I have ever planned any vacation before in my life. I have made lists. I have purchased stuff early (months early for some items). I have been getting everything lined up to make this as easy and less stressful as possible.
We are heading to Daytona Beach, Florida on Friday. This vacation is going to be amazing and fun on so many levels. First off… my family will be there. It will be nice to hang out with everyone for a week. Family, in my life, is very important to me. Secondly… my lady will be there with me. This will be our first vacation together. We have been preparing for this since March, so I know her and I will be very happy to feel the sand in-between our toes.
There is a lot planned. We are going to wake up each morning. Then we are going to go to the beach. Then we are going to bed each evening. Like I said… there is a lot planned. LOL. Well… We are going to Disney World for one day, and I am sure we will hit up the lighthouse and chocolate store. We will go to the Boardwalk and hangout around there for awhile. We will probably play a game of putt-putt and eat some tasty ice-cream.
Whatever we do… whatever is done… this is going to be the start of wonderful things.

You Will Be Surely Missed…
They say… Friends in life come and go… Best friends in life never truly leave.
I have been best friends with Chimere Lawshe since 9th grade. If you do the math, that would equal over 15 years of friendship. Yup… that is half of my life, if you did that math. I have been blessed to have such a wonderful and caring person walk into my life… one that I probably don’t deserve to have, but I am truly grateful to have.
Within the end of this month, she will be moving on to new beginnings… a new chance, at allowing her to become the woman that she wants to be for her daughter to see, and to allow her daughter the best opportunity. I am not saying that what she has around here (in Indy) is bad… I am simply saying that she will have more opportunity to grow, within her company, with her daughter, than she currently has.
We have lots and lots of memories together. We know each other’s families very well. Her parents are awesome and fun folks. I have enjoyed conversations with them. Her siblings are all great. Her brothers and I use to have fun, back in the day, with the different car audio systems I would have. Her Grandmother (big ma) made the best sweet potato pie I have ever had. In fact, because of her grandmother’s sweet potato pie, I started liking pies.
Her daughter is simply… beautiful. She is a bright-minded, athletic, loving little diva. She has tried almost every sport she can for her age. She loves baseball and basketball, and I am for sure if football would allow her to, she would of knocked a few boys off their own feet. lol Chay… your Uncle Rob will miss you.
As for my best friend… Chimere… you have been around through thick and thin with me. Even at times when I have completely turned my back to you, when I needed you there, you still showed me love and gratitude. What makes a true friend true? Is being there for someone when in need, comforting and listening to his/her problems, and not expecting anything in return. You have definitely showed this character. You have a big heart, and you will bless many people in your new city with that, just as you have blessed many people in Indy with it.
Your drive with your career is strong. You are going to fill your new position with ease and come out swinging when that first pitch is thrown. You have organized some very cool events in Indy. From the employee award parties to preparing for the Super Bowl, you have amazed me and many people at your talents.
I don’t like saying Goodbyes… I feel more like saying… “I’ll see you later.” Cause after all… one way or anther… we always will ‘see each other later’. Take care of yourself. Take care of the little Miss. Take care of the family. We will all visit soon. You will not be forgotten. You have made your markings in Indy… and every person that has met you, will agree that you are a loving person.
Love Forever and Forever my Best friend,
Robert (aka Robbie aka Jon B aka Chad)
