It was two years ago to the day that I sat in my apartment in Delaware, Ohio with a ring in my pocket and a view of the future that didn’t go much further than the very moment I would remove that ring from its box. Up until this point I was still riding the same wave that I had ridden all my life, the nice, smooth, easy-breaking wave that involved a fairly predictable ride with a very slight chance of a wipe out. I rarely veered off course for two reasons. 1) I was having a blast. There was no reason for change. I am very fortunate to have caught the wave I did, and wouldn’t go back and change anything even if I could. 2) I admittedly had always been all-talk. Whether it was pulling the trigger on some impromptu business idea, getting a patent on some crazy idea the G.M.G.I. (to be explained later) came up with, or committing myself to something that changed my life forever. I saw each come and go, forming into little more than an idea to debate over a beer or two.
Fast forward 24 hours. I was about to become engaged (forgive the pun) in the ride of a lifetime. Not only did I propose to my high school sweetheart, but, I started a string of events that have since brought my future into focus beyond 24 hours. I’m calling it “the year of action.” About a year after our engagement, Danielle and I bought a house. Then we adopted my best friend, Coach, our 1.5 year old lab/ boxer/ pit mix. Then we got married, and went on a honeymoon, and bought the all-important big screen TV. Then Brent Wise and I acted upon a 2 year old idea and started a videography business, 224 Productions. And now, I’m starting a blog!
So why is a blog next? I’m not completely sure. But, a few months ago I declared that I was going to write a blog about all of the interesting things that happen to me. Whether or not people read it is the least of my concerns, but for me it’s another idea that, in its own way, provides a sense of accomplishment.
I hope this becomes a good place to share laughs, tell stories, and to stay in touch with family and friends. On behalf of myself, WELCOME!!!
Until next time,
Scotty Mo
