Isn't it nteresting to hear the real stories in someone's life? Here is my story, I would love to hear yours. I'm making this page about my life as a professional athlete because I am proud of what I have accomplished and to be honest it is EXTREMELY INTERESTING. From Orangeville, Illinois to the Indianapolis Colts. From a midnight shift Telemarketer to a Professional Athlete. Even a heart touching story about my son who was born less than 2 Lbs.

Me on Squidoo =
My name is John Dallas Moyer, I was born on February 24, 1975 in Orangeville, IL (pop. 500). I grew up with two older siblings in a wonderful family with trust and support. I was talented in three sports through High School and Junior College; football, basketball and baseball. I also worked at a number of different and unique jobs in the summer months. I garaduated from Eastern Illinois University and went on to play for a brief moment in the NFL and for 10 years now in the Arena Football League. During my career I have lived in an RV, achieved a number of awards, got married and most recently given a precious gift, my son Colton Dallas Moyer. My Mission

Will live everyday with Integrity and vow to consistently find happiness, fulfillment, and value in living, as well as making a positive difference in the lives of others. My core values provide a framework for identifying, pursuing, and achieving my goals. The greatest joy of all is being worthy of the respect and admiration of family, friends, and business associates.

7:00 AM -- Wake up time
Colton usually asks me to read his favorite few books about 15 times. I send him on different missions throughout the house so I can check Email and start my day. -
8:30 AM -- Beakfast
He likes oatmeal and fruit. I keep trying to encourage other foods and he trys them and likes a lot of them but does not want to make it a full meal. He usually has a few bites and then gets bored of it. He loves to look out our South facing Chicago aprtment and point out imaginary airplanes just to trick you to look. -
9:00 AM -- Out to the park or the grocer
Colton amd I go through a lot of food so we end up at the grocer a few times a week. He gets a kick out of free cheese and meat at the deli counter (so does Dad) and babbles at the top of his lungs. The days at the park I usually get about 500 or so jump ropes in. -
11:00 AM -- Nap Time (Thank You)
Time for me to get some work done on the computer (Updating my lens now most likely. -
1:00 PM -- Wakey Wakey
Play time. Puzzles, letters(alphabet genius), books, cars and of course our puppy. -
2:00 PM -- Lunch
Still mostly jar purees, trying very diligently to eat regular meals. -
4:00 PM -- Park
You have to get this kid out and run or he will never sleep. Soccer, slides, swings, walks and bird watching are both of our favorites. -
6:00 PM -- Home for dinner
I am also the cook in the family. I try to make anything and everything. -
7:00 PM -- Bath time
My sons favorite time of day. He constantly asks to take a bath all throughout the day. -
8:00 PM -- Night night
I get my next break to do a workout. I like P90X. It is an intense workout for any gender. It is mostly weight free but works you to the point of muscle failure. I also spend a little more time with my side ventures.
