Farewell Dinkdom!! Hello Parenthood!!

Goodbye European tourist trip. Goodbye Extreme vacation (mount climbing in Appalachians). Good Bye sports car. Good Bye big piece of chicken.


This could be the last time I write to you as, Justin Marek, husband to Brandy Marek and owner of two dogs. Today we go to the doctors and the twins could be born today.
I am so nervous, excited , worried, prepared as can be, unprepared as can be, ready and praying for the boys' and Brandy's health.

I look back at the first section I wrote and I will still do most of it. If you know me... well, you'll know that I will always try for the big piece of chicken.

I have been told by people that I will never get a full nights sleep until their grown. That we don't have enough help. That we have to talk to a lactation nurse or breast feeding won't work well. That we need two of everything. That we need to get them on certain schedules. I looked up "screwed" in the wikionary and having twins was not in there, so I would say there is a chance for us yet.

... What I was curious about was why I don't remember anybody telling us to pray. Nobody told us to turn to God for the answers. Only my brother said "It's crazy being a father, the baby is born and you just start doing it, like Mr. Mom!! What a beautiful ability God gave us." I will not take for granted all of the prayers that been said for us. Thank you everyone who has prayed for us. So you know, We too are praying.

Doctor's appt. @ 9:15am

Praise God in all His Glory for this beautiful gift. I am going to be a father!!Gods' plan for each of us is revealed the closer we walk to him.

A Vernacular Disaster


If you are reading this, you would be reading my first post and by the time you finish you may wonder if this guy passed English in high school? However, I will treat you to an insight of my thoughts, life, love and absolute ridiculous behavior and along the way get better at my native language.

Some background for this problem goes back to my first sentence and high school, where I slept through and tried to fail English for a chance to participate in sports for one more year. Unfortunately every action has a consequence or action. In this case I failed English in college twice. After several calculations this did in fact keep my gpa under 3.0. This is nothing to be proud of here. So I hope you enjoy my colloquial rhetoric.


"Every group of branches need a tree to be relevant, otherwise its yard waste" and so shall I set a little back story so you can get to know me.


I am going on thirty (in three months), having twins (within 3 weeks), I work, but not I am not defined by my work. I am an athlete who could never watch or play enough sport. I have the most loving and forgiving wife. Most importantly I am a christian. I have stumble and I have fallen flat on my face. So hard in fact, that only God could have saved me. Sin is troublesome to say the least and we all have it. So there you have it. Its just starting and who knows where it will go!!
