Long Time No Write..

Soo...it's been a while. And a lot has happened. I actually don't even remember what I wrote on my previous posts....so maybe I'll update again, and hopefully not repeat myself too much. Christina and I had an amazing little boy named Liam about 4 weeks and 2 days ago. He truly is a gift from God. He came in weighing 7lbs, 7 ounces. Christina had the baby at home, which was planned. No drugs or nothing. She truly has a higher pain tolerance than me after witnessing that. She truly is the love of my life, and I am so proud to call her my wife.

On a sadder note, my wife's husband, or my brother in law has been in the hospital in Hamilton for the last couple weeks, and will more than likely be there for another week or two. He's had a shunt since he was small and there have been some complications because of some infections. I do hope and pray everything comes out for the best. I really do appreciate him as a person, and would not want anyone else as my only brother in law. So, Rob, Christina and I will continue to pray that you recover fully! Then maybe we can get together and watch the Leafs lose a few games......

Friday....

So I love Fridays. Basically it means weekend time. I'm lucky enough to be able to spend my weekends with Christina. So that's pretty cool. It seems weekends seem to be getting much busier lately. The baby is due in close to a month, and we are still trying to get stuff finished up around the house. And with baby showers and such, time is flying by. Tonight we have a birth class. So that will be a new experience for both of us. Hopefully it doesn't go longer than 2 hours, cause I have a ball hockey game ;) I am tired today. I don't know why really. Maybe I need to be more active, I mean I do play hockey about 2-3 times a week, but I still always feel worn out. Maybe my diet? Who knows. Maybe it's stress. If all else fails, you can always blame it on stress. Soon we are going to the cottage. I usually don't look forward to that kind of stuff, and I don't know why, cause it's fun, but I am this time. I get four days away with the fam....most importantly Christina.

First Timer

So, I've decided that this blogging thing may be a good idea, although it may only last for a few weeks as I have a tendancy to be a bit unfocused at times. So this week has been kind of crazy. As some of you know, I applied for a job at Ford. I thought I wanted to try something different, and I thought this may be the answer. I was aware of the turmoil and uncertainty that the auto industry brought along with it, but the amount of money that was potentially available to make was appealing. So I applied, I went through the ridiculous hiring process which entailed me to take about 4 days off of my current job, and I got the call. I was offered the job. I thanked them, and hung up the phone. Meanwhile, I've been praying about this decision, I was praying for a peace about it, which was recommended to me by a wise man I know. I wasn't getting that peace that I wanted. Finally I sat down with Christina and told her how I was feeling. It didn't feel right. So on friday July 18 I decided I was not going to take the job, and I felt a lot better about my decision. The funny thing is that Monday or Tuesday Ford announced they were cancelling that shift all together and all these people that were hired for these jobs were now out of work, before even starting. I know this teaches me how to listen to what God is telling me, and also teaches me that I don't really have it that bad as it is. I could always want more, and want better, but I need to thankful for what I have. A beautiful caring wife, a baby on the way, my shack of a house, and my little Coke of a cat. God will provide, but it's on his terms, not mine.
