Taking New Shots

офис столовеYou would think that with the birth of my baby girl, I would spend more time writing about that experience on this blog. However, I have done that mainly through her voice on her very own site mayliajordan.com.

Instead, I’ll share with you some of the things I have been experiencing in Colorado. I don’t know that living in Denver has a great deal raman amplifier of influence on my new adventures. But I will say that my move from the east coast and my new found appreciation for outdoor life/sports seems to be fairly coincidental (I’ll have to share my story about Survival School at some point).

One of my new hobbies is firing semi automatic pistols. In fact I am contemplating a purchase for recreational use and home protection. The difficult part is that my political and social views have me on the fence. I did however, take an NRA course that allows me the right to apply for a concealed carry permit in Colorado - scary huh? Although I have no intention of carry a gun on my person, it was interesting to learn how to safely handle and fire a gun.

The Rookie

So now it official. I am a father as of May 2nd at 1:07pm. My daughter Maylia Quinn Jordan was born here in Denver at Rose Medical. A good friend sent me a text that said “welcome to the team rookie”. That’s exactly how I feel…just like a rookie.

It’s awkward changing a diaper for the first time or figuring out the best way to hold your child. But I’ll tell you that none of it matters right now. People told me that I would get very little sleep for the first few months. That indeed has come true so far, but I must admit it’s completely my fault. I’m sure I would be able to get more rest if I could just stop staring at her.

Anyway, I’m sure I’ll have more to write soon. In the meantime, feel free to check out www.mayliajordan.com
