Cliff Notes vs. Encyclopedia Britannica

submitted by JoeyBarton

I’m not allowed to go to Mason’s doctor visits alone anymore.
Allow me to explain.
My wife and I are VERY different people, and truthfully I sometimes wonder how it is that we ever ended up together.
I’m a laid back person. Little bothers me. Rashele is the exact polar opposite. She’s extremely organized and I hesitate to say “high strung” because she’s not. Let’s just say she’s a stickler for details.


The Beginning

submitted by JoeyBarton

Hello All..
As you may have surmised by now, I'll be posting from a Father's point of view. Kent was kind enough to post a couple of my blog entries from a couple of months ago from my personal blog, mostly visited by my family and friends.
I figured a formal introduction would be best so tonight I'll make this my first "official" entry.
My name is Joey Barton, I am 38 years old. I am married to a beautiful and talented woman, who I am blessed to call my best friend. Rashele and I have been together for 9+ years, and married for just over 8.
