Ahhhh...Finally.

As hoped, yesterday went great and I will start work at Pacific City Graphics on Tuesday, August 15! Now all I have to do is tell my current employer I'm done in two weeks. Sounds easy enough...Right?

Well for some reason it's not that easy for me. I am planning on telling them after lunch, because one of the two people that I want to have present when I let them know isn't around this morning. I figure it will be hard enough to do it once so I should avoid having to say it twice! Oh well, I am sure they'll understand.

Last night I was extremely nervous. I laid down and my mind was racing, I worked myself into a little state of panic. As I turned and shuffled trying to get comfortable in bed Sum said, "Give me your hand." and I did. The soft touch of her skin and the soothing rub reminded me why I do what I do, and why I want to become more. And at that moment I felt another hand, this one much smaller however. J had rolled over and put his hand on my slightly burned back and rubbed ever so gently...As if he was saying, "Everything will be alright, Dad." And it will be.



So I thank God every night for the two of them...For their support, patience, inspiration and love. Without it I'd be lost. Life is good.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
