And I always will. I haven't been posting much due to the legal hell that comes with divorce. I live in a boarding room, barely get to see my children, embarking in a new career, and playing credit card Russian roulette. I have lost 40+ pounds due to extensive workouts and turkey sandwiches. But I still believe in magic. This team has helped me the entire time during this complete crap storm. My daughter believes in magic, as do I. And my son is magical. No matter when this run ends, remember this: it will be okay as long as you believe in magic. The future is bright, both for me and our beloved Cyclones.

I hear ya man. I'm still getting everything figured out after my divorce last year.

Just remember, in all things: This Too Shall Pass.

Oh and as far as the kids go, I've learned one big thing since my separation last April; Maximize Daddy time as much as possible. Yeah you don't get to see them as much as mom, but damn it they are gonna have a blast.

Yeah I'm spoiling my boys a lot, but I have to squeeze a weeks worth of love into a few days a week. They know how much I love them and I know they miss me by how excited they get when I come to pick them up.

Yeah it sucks not to see them all the time, but I am a better dad now since it's just me and them. So much more one on one time and important moments.

I would also like to take this time for a shameless career plug: I'm almost a licensed realtor, and I fully expect you Iowa City area Cyclones to PM me for my info. I'm building an army.

Just remember this ... Why are divorces so expensive? Because in the end, they're worth it.

Thank you everybody for your unwavering support. I know I have been brash on here from time to time, but we are still ONE family, all working for that common goal.

I too am in the process of divorce, two young kids. Just had the Temp. ruling. The only happiness has been my kids and my cyclones. PM me if you want to chat.
