Also, the Vols bar is a great time but not much special is going on there now, but if you want to go grab a drink there and just see Vols flags and memorabilia up around the bar, it’s pretty cool. I’m sure you won’t leave without a couple free shots if you tell them you’re a Vols fan from out of town either.

Watched the Vols-USCjr game there in 2014 when we won in overtime. It was a great time. Lots of celebrating at the end of regulation and overtime. The place was rocking.

What’s the name and location of this bar? My dad goes on business to Chicago pretty frequently and never said anything about this. I’m sure he’d enjoy going there if he’s ever in town during sports season

Got some news, good this time for once.

Girlfriend, well, fiancé now.. is pregnant. And we know a gender, too. It’s a girl. She’s at about 4 months now, so I have to think of a name but creativity has never been my strong suit.

In any case, there’s my life update. I’m trying to actually get my shot together and try to find a job that is a career rather than just something to pay the bills. I have a degree, but it hasn’t meant much for me. I’m more stressed than anything. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that everything I do is in support of someone else now. Perhaps that’s a good thing, though. I’ve never much cared about being successful just to be proud of myself for better or worse.

Sorry, just rambling. Don’t really have anyone to voice these fears to.

Fatherhood is awesome! You will be wrapped around her finger before she enters this world. Your entire view of life changes, as you seek to provide for her and protect her. Enjoy every single moment!

There’s an actual Vols bar in Chicago? My wife is going to shoot me if I take her there. She already thinks I have a problem 😅

@Christian Lowe:

I Had 2 daughters myself. When my first one was one day old, I was having breakfast (while my wife was in the hospital) and reflecting on what has happened. I realized right then that if that child had clothes, it was my responsibility. If she had food it was my responsibility. If she had shelter it was my responsibility. I grew up that morning with a reality that her care and well being was on mine and her Moms shoulders. Enjoy her childhood. That little girl that I loved so much is right now on an Alaskan cruise. Time flies.

Welcome to being a dad. In my experience, all the ones doing it right worry if they are good enough. You got this.

You’re just experiencing the normal transition to true adulthood. You’ll do fine. You learn as you go. Hopefully you can lean on your parents for advice as needed.
