Life is Good

Life is Good. Life is great. I have so much to be thankful for. And believe me when I say this; I am Eternally grateful to my Heavenly Father for all that he sees fit to bless me with. Why am I so blessed. I am not exactly sure. What I do know is that I am richly blessed. I do know that I must make it my life's work to earn and make good on these blessings. I am indebted to the lord and I will continue to walk in his light and serve others From this time forward.



My son Cory Aidan was born quite recently. His mother (Kelly my wife) has made me the happiest man on the planet. Aidan and Kelly are answers to my life's dreams and many many prayers. For as long as I have known myself, getting married and having a family has always been my most passionate goal. I had always planned on one day getting married. My life took some askew turns and tumbles along the way and I didn't meet my eternal companion until I was almost 30. Perhaps it was by design. I have always wanted to be a father, and after 2 years of marriage we were blessed with a son. Aidan is such an amazing baby boy. He was born 10 pounds 2 ounces. He is a big boy. His mother is a true champion as it was a natural child birth. He was born with a head full of blond hair. Kelly always knew she was carrying a baby boy. My family has been waiting a long time for a grandson that would carry on the Zingmark name. There are very few Zingmark's in the U.S. Out all my fathers brothers and cousins, my father is the only one to have any sons. My brother has 2 daughters (and 3 step children) and they are unable to have more children. So it was up to me to continue the legacy. Well the promise has been fulfilled. Again I give thanks to my heavenly father for this incredible blessing.

Aidan has brought new life (literally) to our family. Kelly's pregnancy and his birth has enlightened my mind, and energized my soul. I am once again rejuvenated and feel like everything is possible. I have waited so long to be a husband and longer to become a father. (Was it worth the wait?) That question isn't even relative. All you need to do for an answer, is to take one look at my family. My family is my life. Everything else fails in comparison. I was raised knowing the incredible importance of family. To always put family first. My wife was raised the same way, I know this because I have spent a lot of time with her extended family. We both want to raise our family according to these powerful gospel truths.
