As the titled expresses, it has been quite some time since I sat in front of a screen/keyboard and talked about new adventures and pitfalls that affect me on a daily basis...well at this point, a few months. So this entry is less about feelings and writing a review of my life up to this point. Obviously, I'll be omitting some things for privacy's sake and because I don't feel like typing too much.
May - I'm pretty sure I did something exciting.
June - Summer started...pretty normal stuff. Ellie started sleeping through the night...still does it, which is awesome for Becca and I.
July - Vacation at home with Becca and Ellie. Turned out to be lots of fun though we never got to the zoo...maybe next year, baby:) (and by baby, I mean Becca, who loves the zoo like candy). Keith Smith approaches me to talk about switching roles at work. Confirmed something in my heart from a while back so we accepted, knowing what we'd be gaining but also losing. Got Becca a keyboard!
August - Worship at LPC with my wife and our friends. Lots of fun. Mission trip to the DR - Great last high school ministry event with students that i see as family. BitterSweet to say the least. Started my new job at Agincourt...privileged to welcome our new Sr. High Pastor while takin on the responsibilities of Jr. High and our wicked awesome Post-High population.
September - Celebrated 4 years with the love of my life (I need to celebrate her more everyday!). Ellie turned 6 months and weighed in just above average (if you saw her when she was born, you'd get why that's huge for me). Now she's a short little chubby cute baby! Started reading books again (was way to lazy before). Built some cool stuff with our SM staff. Bought a PS3...Becca plays it a lot more than me:). Started the p90x...didn't continue.
October -I'm still in it but it's been a challenge. I have gained weight. I have a lot more work to do (sermons, admin, team development, growing, etc. I am learning that I am not as strong as I think I appear and that I still need more work, which I think is a good place to be...I still learning about what it means to be a husband and that it connects with how I am a father and friend. Cool thing though - Had Eliana on my own for a weekend and did a great job.
...that's about it blog world...hopefully by November, I'll be p90x'n it again!
