It has obviously been quite some time since I have written in my blog. As many of you already know I have been through a very tough time in my life. At this time last year I was enjoying life with my new wife, moving into a new house, and bringing home a wonderful great dane puppy. It was all I had ever hoped and dreamt for. I was married to my high school sweetheart and we were well on our way to beginning a a great new life together. To say that I was in love was an understatement. A few weeks after my last post I found out that the life I was living was partially a lie. To find out that the person you expect to spend the rest of your life with didn't want to be with you and had these feelings for quite sometime was heart wrenching to say the least. At that point in my life I was totally and completely lost. Everything I had been building on for the past seven years came crashing down in a instant without much warning. I felt like I had nothing for awhile. My house, my dog, and of course my wife were all gone. I immediately turned to the things left in life that I knew would be there: family, friends, and work. Of course doing anything was very difficult but because I am surrounded by so many loving people I was able to get through the toughest times with that strong support group. Coming to work everyday was not always what I wanted but it was almost always what I needed. When I came to work I was able to see my family (Mom and Dad) and my friends (Brad, Tracie, Ryan, Gabe and every one of our awesome clients). This not only gave me a chance to get my mind off of everything that I was going through but it made me realize how lucky I am to be in the position I am. Sure, I lost a lot of things but it showed me how much I actually had right in front of me. I would never want to go through what I am going through again in my lifetime but I know that I am now a better person for it. I owe so much of that to all of you for helping me through this tough time whether you realize you helped me or not. I can only hope to help you as much as you all have helped me. I appreciate you all sticking with me when I didn't seem all there mentally. It means so much to me that you are all a part of my life! Thank you to everyone for helping me see that everything will turn out alright, for showing your support, for being there when I needed someone, and for being a part of the next stage in my life.
Thank you so much!
-Kevin

You've been really tough through this whole deal. I'm proud of you for holding strong and never brining your emotion to the gym.
You know that I'm always there for you and again, Tracie said she'll hit her in the face if you need!
I would imagine a lot of people would like to do that!
As Tim has told you, our whole family wears "Team Kevin" T-shirts. You have shown incredible strength of character throughout all of this and to say that "Time heals all wounds," may seem a bit trite, it is true. As I always say, you have been key to both Tim's and my success in the gym, and we have come to really love and appreciate the person that you are outside the gym. Keep up the good work!
I "heart" Kevin.... thank you for being such a solid support. Andy said that you were a great guy... he is correct and I thank you for being there to help me achieve my goals and push me a bit further.
