Some random news…

> Hurricane Wilma passed us just to the south of Orlando but a bunch of people got the day off. I started with a day off but got called in at 2. That was kind of disappointing…not so much that I had to go in…it was a logical decision but that I had wrapped the day up in my mind as something completely different and did not include work.

> Last week was full of sickness and antibiotics. When it comes down to it, I got strep. I don’t have strep now.

> I’m turning 30 in less than two weeks. that means three things: 1. my family (both sets of parents and Tara) are coming to celebrate. 2. I’m turning 30. 3. I’m saying goodbye to my 20’s. I actually surprise myself how excited I am about saying goodbye to my 20’s. They were good, but I think the 30’s are going to be better. — remember that one prayer I had when I was 15…all I wanted was God to give me some time so I could drive by myself and a wife so I could experience sex. Hmm…that was 15 years ago. And THAT’S when I start to think I might be getting old.

> What I appreciated about today: Me and God had a good time today–oh and my friend, Rob Sperti, brought me a huge diet coke and Milk duds at work today. that was cool. Acts of Service!

> kristy and I discovered that we are in the “summer” season of marriage right now.

> I’m still thinking about Darfur. New website > www.savedarfur.org

> A LOT of transition at work right now. Hiring a lot of people. Not exactly sure how it will all play out. I just know that I’ve been sick 5 times this year and that’s got to be due to too many late nights and stress. One thing I do know, when approaching 30, you begin to reassess how much of your life you give towards something that in the end, is still a job. God, Family, friends, hobbies…these are the things that provide a healthy balance to a demanding career. The question is, am I at a healthy balance?

> Been thinking a lot about legacy today. What is my legacy? what impact am I personally having on culture, friends, family, and the world around me?

> Going to Tampa tomorrow. Looking forward to some alone time in the truck. time to think, pray and get caught up on some bible “reading.”

> I want to be a dad.

good night.
