A Little About Dad

Some call me Dad, some call me Calhoun. My actual first name is Jonathan. I'm a Truck Driver by trade, and a family man at heart. I love my big family. I am a United States Army Veteran, and a proud member of The American Legion. So much so, that I am highly motivated, and heavily involved in my local post of Post 18, Dept. of California, American Legion. I'm a bit of a nerd as far as internet stuff. I have recently started this blog(duh), and built a website from almost scratch for my legion post.(calegionpost18.org). 

I tend to lean to one side of things in this world, and enjoy my freedoms enthusiastically. I'll listen to people and their opinions, but I don't often change mine much unless there is a burden of proof. Some like it, some don't. I don't really care. I'm just here on this planet to deliver goods by truck, raise five amazing children, and reach out to Veterans and the local community. I'd like to end this by saying, if you ever need any one, an ear, or whatever you might need, reach out. Like I said. I'll always listen.

-Dad

School...For the Whole Family

Well, here in our 'great' state of California, we are not opening our schools (at least in our school district) this upcoming school year. Our school district was offering a 100% online learning, or hybrid, which is only half days like four days a week, and kind of like a block schedule. Odd periods on these days, even periods on those days, etc. We said NO. What we decided to do this year is online public school. It's through www.k12.com. Our school is CAVA, which is California Virtual Academy. It's a pretty popular platform, and it's recognized nationally, which is nice. We will be getting our kids' equipment and supplies via UPS within the next three to four days. They each get a laptop, a printer, and tons of work book assignments. Our oldest is even getting a microscope for Science class. Mom is excited, kids are excited (some nervous), and I am all for it. As for me, Dad, I am back at work full time. I was able to take six weeks off of work to spend time w...

Welcome

This is a new thing for me and my family. We'll see how it goes. Anyways, I am Dad. My wife and I have known each other since ~2005 in high school. We found each other again in mid 2014, and have been together ever since. When we got married in March of 2015, she brought two beautiful daughters, and I brought one handsome son. Fast forward five years into our marriage, and we have since added two more daughters. Yes, that's right; we are a total of seven in this household. I wouldn't change it for the world. My wife is a professional SAHM(stay at home mom), and I am a professional Truck Driver. This summer, however, i am a SAHF(?). Our oldest had surgery on June 15th, and I am home for a good chunk of this summer. More on that later... Anyways, welcome to our family blog. I'm not sure how successful or far this will go, but we'll give it a shot. 😊 -Dad
