Too Long

It has been a while ... since my last post. To all who follow my blog, which I am sure there are many, I apologize for the lack of posting. So here is a catch up of all that has been going on since my last post. I did successfully put together all of the baby furniture. I only had two extra parts left (sorry Landen). My father in law got all the trim and molding up in the baby room. We got over 700 diapers from the baby shower. I hear that it wont last that long. We also had our Be Real weekend with the students. Look for video coming soon. So there is a quick recap. I'll keep up a little better.

Baby Furniture

The time has finally come for baby furniture to get put together. I am going to pick up a crib, 3 drawer dresser, and a 5 drawer/changing table dresser. So please pray for me. I am sort of handy, but I have this patience frustration thing that can take over some times. If I need any help I'll call you.

Another College Post

Guys college dorm is all that needs to be said! While on our visit to my old stomping grounds, we stayed in the guys dorm. Now I will be honest and admit that staying in the dorms while I was in college was one of the best parts of college. I mean you truly never know what may happen in the dorm. So here is my point while staying there over this past weekend, it hit me, "was I really like this when I was in college?" With this question came many more like: "why in the world did my wife marry me, how did I graduate, and did I really use those bathrooms?" So to all who stayed in a dorm through college, I challenge you to take a trip back to your old stomping grounds. You never know how much you have changed until you see how much you have changed. (wow that is deep, I'll give that one away for free)

College

So we are in Toccoa visiting my old college. I have am now at a point where I field old. I do not know anyone anymore. Oh well it has been a great trip. Looking forward to being home.

Father

Father I will be soon! So i am reading this book called "Becoming a Dad," and i recommend to soon to be father or even current father. There is a section on being your kids hero. So here is the quote from the book. Let me know what you think.
"There is a difference between heroes and idols. Heroes fight for justice and are compassionate. Heroes take risks and are brave. Heroes walk in humility and are modest. Idols are false gods and are powerless. Idols are propped up and phony. Idols are made in the image of man, not the image of God. Being your child's hero isn't about shoes you have to fill, because you are already in them. Your choice is to either stand up in those emotional and spiritual shoes or take them off."

- More to come this weekend from the book and Catalyst.

Your in Georgia

This one goes out to Gary! So I am on my way up to Georgia for a conference and being born and raised in the great GA, you expect certain things. Well of course my great state did not fail me. As Chad (our kids pastor) and I made the journey into Georgia there was plenty of signs for pecans and peaches, and signs for log homes. There is always the great water towers that are shaped and painted just like a peach. I must admit though that they look like booty's. Now here is when I really knew we were in the GA. We stopped to go to the potty and as I made my way in, I found ... drum roll ... someones tainted underoos that they messed and left for my enjoyment. Well welcome to the peach state. BOOM

One More Time

Baby coming soon so our amazing students got together with the help of our adult volunteers and gave us one more getaway before the little guy comes. So we are enjoying two nights in the ORL. Thanks so much to our awesome students and adults with Reflect. We will be spending today at Downtown Disney and dinner and a movie tonight. Tomorrow we will be going to the Swiss store IKEA. If you have not been, GO! You don't even have to buy anything. Trust me guys on this one, it is good times. PLus they have huge buggies (or as you Florida people say carts). Anyways thanks again for everything. Love you all. Thanks for the getaway!
