My birth father (yep) sent me email. And pictures. I'll post them soon. Holy cow.. And the hits just keep on coming.. Get this.. he graduated from Mississippi State witha degree in Computer Engineering.. Hah! And he now works for NASA at Stennis Space Flight Center.. How cool/odd/bizarre is that? Oh.. And he has a Harley.
Wow.

Beach... and a ticket stub.
I found my ticket stub to Vanilla Ice. And I've been rediculed for keeping things as such. Pssssshaw.
Will and Meghan have big news. I won't say what it is, but, since they are already married, there's only one more big news thing there could be, soooooo. Holy Cow! If anybody didn't know, and this shouldn't be here, well too bad.
Went to the beach with Donna and family and neighbors. Played in the ocean and didn't get hurt. This is a first for me. Still haven't gotten those pics up.. Maybe tonight.. Got a few great ones of Nora Shearer from Jeremy's camera last night. She is an adorable little thing.
Melissa and Jeremy had Nora. I cried.
Found my birth mother. I cried. Many times.
Doug Millington turned 30. I cried. And missed. Everybody there.
Dad retired. I spoke. I cried. Did I mention that?
I've cried more spontaneously since I've hit 30 than in my 'pre-triple-decade' life. Is this right?

On to Alabama
Donna and I leave for Alabama tomorrow to surprise my Dad for his retirement party, and to visit Doug M. for his big THREE-OH! All us folks turnin' thirty.. How weird. Was hoping to get to meet Deb, but I fear there will not be enough time for that this trip. Selling my iBook to Katie and her husband Judson, and hopefully get to see Candy and Christian..
Not very exciting.. More later.. I've got an X-Serve Dual G-5 at home.. Yummmm..

New Feeling Continuted
I talked to my birth mother for an hour and a half today. What a surreal day. I absolutely have no words for it. Hopefully some will come to me soon. She married a David. Now she has two!

Completely New Feeling.
Oh. Wow. What an afternoon.
I ordered a copy of my birth certificate the other day from the State of Alabama website. I have no idea where mine is, but it's probably with my passport, which is also incognito from my stint in England. And I need a birth certificate to get another passport -- you get the issue..Anyway So at the bottom of the State of Alabama site it has, "Adoptees, click here."
So there I clicks.
A $20 check mailed with a form last last Thursday later, I find my original birth certificate in my mailbox. That was today.
Are you ready?
Justin Galen Krueger
In addition to my original name, it has my birth mother's name on this photocopy as well. I'll leave that off because of how searchable the internet is. Anyway, I search for my Birthmother's name.. Not much, until I use her middle name.
One entry.
On an adoption database website.
From her.
From about a year ago.
From where she has been looking for me.
This is when I lost it.
So Around 8:30 PM I email this wonderful lady who runs this website from Tucson, AZ. Her name is JoAnne. I give her the reference number from her site's database, and my name(s!) and her name. I write that I'm very nervous, but here are my phone numbers and umm what do I do now and....
About 10:55 EDT JoAnne calls me from Tucson.
"This is David"
"David, this is JoAnne from the Adoption Database."
"Wow." David sits down.
"I talked to your birth mother a moment ago" JoAnne continues.
"Wow." David sits down more.
"It was hard to get through because I think her husband is a doctor now. Her last name is now ----. I told her who I was and said, 'I have wonderful news!' and she said, 'Should I sit down?' and I told her 'yes.' I read her your e-mail to me and she started crying. She was going to call but said it was too late there where you are. But she has your numbers and is going to call tomorrow. I told her she should go ahead and call because I knew neither of you would be sleeping tonight.
This is where I lost it again.
So Donna and my parents know.. And there is no way I can type the rest of this tonight. Suffice to say I'm not getting much done on homework or Blue Cross Blue Shield
