Back in the saddle. The holidays in Michigan were good. It was great to see Natalie so content and just happy to be home. She is definitely a woman who loves to be home, it motivates me to work my tail off so we can buy a home of our own sooner than later. We had a great time visiting with various friends and family, exchanged gifts, went to church, and even had a white Christmas. Life in Nashville is back to normal, at work it’s actually worse that normal. I feel like I’m truly wasting away here and it’s gone from being amusing most days to down right depressing. I feel like I’m really being called to take a leap into something else, that could conceivably be another something at my current employer, but that’s doubtful. It’s scary to think about taking leaps like these, because you are truly depending on God to fulfill His promise that He will provide. Various opportunities continue to present themselves and it’s only a matter of time until one of them is just too good or the feeling is too strong to resist and I actually make a move.

Life as a married man continues to amaze me. The different things you all of a sudden feel compelled to do are quite overwhelming. I think it’s cool to truly see God’s designs come to fruition within one’s self as things I would have never thought or done before are now some of the first thoughts and actions that take place, because I’m no longer only called to provide and protect myself, but my wife as well. That’s a cool task, a virtually impossible task, and above all a humbling task. To think that a woman would trust you with her forever is a pretty amazing gamble, and it’s funny that Natalie and women worldwide do it without ever looking back, and here I am trying to figure out if switching jobs is too risky, some people are so short sighted (like me).

Broncos made the playoffs, I love that. I love sports, they truly do take you to a different place, for some people it’s movies, computers, video games, books, art, and I dig all of those things, but there are few hobbies or passions out there the bring the same feelings, emotions and reactions that sports can. I’m looking forward to all the games this weekend, and obviously wishing the best for my Broncos.

I could write more, but my mind feels scattered. If everything above is lame, sorry, come back again and hopefully it won’t be next time…out.
