Random Thoughts

It has been a few days since I have had a chance to post a new blog. I don't know that I have one topic today, more like a series of random thoughts.

First, it has been a crazy start to the new year..... 2 visits to the ER with Kyndal and the stomach flu for all of us. I hope things are calm for a while.

Second, it seems I am busier than I have been in a long time. The days go by so fast and before we know it the weeks are gone, and it is already the middle of January! Kyndal is getting up about the time I go to work and she is usually asleep when I can come home for lunch so, that only leaves a few hours at night to spend with her. I try to get out of work at 5:00 but that never seems to happen, so I have even less time. We are trying to make time for me to spend some time with her by myself on the weekends and at least one night a week. I miss my girls so much, but Kristin is so good with Kyndal and takes such good care of her. It is great that she can be home with her.

As I mentioned work has been crazy and I am trying to juggle more than ever. So, I have not had much time to talk to family either. We hope that as year goes on, things will settle down and we will have time to spend more time with family.

I love you all!

Out with the old in with the new.

What a Week.....

It has been a crazy week. Monday we bought a new car. If any of you know much about us, we do not spend money easily, so that was quite an investment for us. We have talked about replacing the Infinity for a year but we have held off until now.



We have loved having a new car. So, then we put our car on Craig's List Wednesday morning and we had several people call or e-mail about it. We had one couple come by and I thought they were going to buy it, but they didn't. SO, we reposted it and had someone e-mail and come by to see it tonight... and they bought it! Our trusty car for over seven years is gone.

Other than the car, it was a long week even though it was a holiday week. I worked every day but New Years Day and it felt like forever. Tomorrow is our first day at church without our pastor. He is moving to Buford SC.

I hope this finds everyone well. We miss and love you all! I hope you have a great 2008.

New Year, New Blog

Happy New Year,

I thought I would get in on the family hobby..... since my wife and daughter both have blogs... I thought I would give it a try.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

2007 was a great year and full of changes for our family. Kyndal has grown so much... from 4 months to 16 months, what a change. She is growing so fast. I can not believe it. Being a Dad is great! Why didn't someone let me in on the secret earlier? Of course, I say that because Kristin does most of the work, so my part is easy. We were able to pay off both of our cars and our house last year! It was a great year for Kristin's business as well. She was able to exceed all of her goals for the year. I am so proud of her. It was a good year for me as well. I was promoted to Manager of Merchandising and Marketing IT systems. I never thought I would be a manager. It is more challenging that I ever thought it would be, but I am doing the best I can and for the most part I am enjoying it.

I hope 2008 finds you all well and I wish all of you a great new year. I am excited to see what God has in store for this year. I hope that we can spend more time with all of our family. We love you all very much!
