Go Emmit!!! Go Emmit!!!! Go, Go, Go Emmitt!!
Hey all you Dancing with the stars fans!!! I don't know about you, but I've made my decision about the champion. Emmitt has grown the most and has just been amazing. Mario is really good, but he is just too focused on his the moves and doesn't get emotionally into it.
As far as the freestyle dance goes, Emmitt's rocked the house!!! Mario's had the old school stuff, but it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as Emmitt's. I completely disagreed with the judges comments about Mario's freestyle.
Anyway, enough about Dancing with the Stars, and on to the real world.
This week has been a crazy week as my dad and I are moving our office. We are only moving across the hall, but it is an incredible mess. It looks as if the file cabinets threw up all over the office and then a whirl wind came through. :) And, to top it all off, we thought we had until the end of the month to get the move done, then someone told us that someone else was moving into our old office on the 23rd. So that added a little stress. But wait! It's gets better. The rental lady came in to drop off our new lease (which begins December 1) and said that they needed to do work on the old space before anyone can move in and we need to be out by the weekend. So, in addition to cleaning up the mess and all of our regular work, we must quickly pack up and move!!! Joy, Joy!!!!! But, Praise God for the new space!!!! It is 200 sq. ft. bigger than the old office! Some would say 200 sq ft more to clutter up, but I won't allow that to happen!!!! (I hope.) Please pray for this move!!!
Also, I am taking H&R Block's tax course and the final is the Wed before Thanksgiving. I've missed several classes due to work, etc. and I am about 4 chapters behind the rest of the class. So I have to catch up and move the office all in the same week. Please pray that this will happen as smoothly as possible.
I hope all is well with you all! Sorry to dump my load on you all. I just needed to vent!!!!
Have a great and splendiferous day!!

FAMILY...PRIORITIES
Hello again friends! Today has been a great day. Today I got the opportunity to spend the entire day at home with my kids. My wife is away this weekend at her parents house (who are out of town) getting some much needed mental, physical and spiritual R&R.
I realized how much I take my family for granted. Every morning when I leave for work Lukas stands at the door and yells "Bye Daddy!!! I love you! Have a good day at work!!" over and over and over and over until I drive out of sight. Every night I come home from work and they beg me to play with them, but I always seem to have something to do that seems to be a bigger priority. How foolish am I to think that anything (besides God) can be a bigger priority than my family.
I have also realized how much I love and miss my wife. Once again, I have taken her for granted as well. She also begs for my time as I put things before her. Now that she is gone for the weekend, I realize that nothing (again except God) should be a bigger priority than her. She is truly and amazing woman. I really don't know how she manages everything she does and puts up with a husband like me. She is truly a saint. She has to be to have stayed with me for 10 years. (friends, dating, and 8 1/2 years of marriage.) I miss her smile. Her blue eyes that grab your attention as you walk into a room. I could read her like a book, if only I would take the time to look into her eyes. Instead I busy myself with the worries of the day. I love her more than I love myself, but she'd never know from my actions. That's just it. Love is more than a feeling, it is an action. It is feeling put into action. I truly am sorry for the lack of action and all of the self-centeredness that rears its ugly head. My wife's life is devoted to raising our two children, homeschooling them and being wife (and it seems all too often, mother) to me. The way she poors her heart into everything she does for our children is another great part of her beauty. To watch her teach Lukas to read, or see her snuggle with Ava to read, it truly makes me reflect on what a blessed man I am. I could ask for no better family than I have. Thank you, God for giving them to me!!
Well, here I am being all dramatic, but it is truly the way I am feeling.
Until I write again, have a great and blessed day!
