I'm Back

Well it's been a long time since I have blogged. Recently I have just had a lot on my mind and want to be able to express myself electronically. I hope you enjoy without being offended. This blog will be about my travels, how my mind is working and what God is doing in my life. I hope you enjoy!

Skiiing Girl

These are for mom. Kmac and I went to Ruidoso this weekend to ski. She did very well. It was so awesome to see her in ski school and getting the hang of it. It was one of those moments that made my lip quiver and my heart beat faster. it was awesome watching her ski. Here are some pictures.

fight nite

Well i am going to try my skills out on the mat in Dallas in Dec. I hope all can come out. I have been training hard and having fun doing it. Rebecca is doing well. The baby has a heart beat (there you go mom) and everything seem like it is going fine. Kmac is loving school but still wont tell us what she has learned. Every once in a while she drops knowledge on us. I am loving work and love being at the firehouse. Until next time.

baby baby

We are having a baby!!! Rebecca surprised me on my birthday with a positive pregnacy test!!!!! I will update the blog later.

My little girl

Well today started the first day of the rest of Mehkyas life. She is now officially a kinder kid. She seemed great going to school today. Of course Rebecca and I were there and neither of us cried. It was a little sad watching her sit at her desk as we walked out of the room. It got me thinking alot about her future. How will she respond? Will she be diligent with her studies like Rebecca was or will she slack off like her daddy? As of now she doesn't seem very interested but as my cousin Cody told me it takes time for it to sink in. My little girl is growing up. No longer will I be able to pick her up early from day care and take her to get ice cream or drop her off late to school after we have slept in. We need to step up as parents now as well. I am lucky that Rebecca was grounded in her education and knows more about study habits ect... I want to push kmac and I am not really sure how. Rebecca and I both have had conversations about what we could have been if we both would have really applied ourselves in school. I know I never did and am still struggling with school work some 12 years after graduation. I managed to receive my college degree and am working on my masters but I am still lazy as hell. It's time for us both to make sure that Kmac is driven to do her best. I hope we haven't failed her as far as work ethic already.

all is well

I love my job and am so happy with the decision of moving to Lubbock. Unlike Wichita Falls, the guys here treat me like a grown man and not some kid. It is an amazing difference between the two. School is killing me. It's not that I dont want to go, i am just struggling with taking more time away from the family. But things are falling into place for us here and it is a true blessing. I told God that it would be a blessing to get on with the fire department so that I can focus on school so I need to man up and do well in school. If I could just find a way to balance everything it would be really well.

My mom came out to see me. I hope she had a good time here in Lubbock. It always seems that something is on her mind and I wish that she would just relax and get to know herself again. She has been serving so many for so long she needs to take time and serve herself.

Joan and Grandma came along as well and It was really good to see them both. Grandma has been one of the greatest influences in my life and Joan is just great and has the warmest heart. I am glad that everyone came out to see us.

work work work

Well I started my job with the Lubbock FD and I am very excited about what is going on so far. Unlike the WF FD, Lubbock seems to be very professional and more of a family environment. I am going through an orientaion right now for another 4 weeks but it is a good refresher. I am hating not having much time with KMAC right now but once I get through the orienation I will have an abundance. My body is getting beat up pretty good and the younger guys are pushing me hard. I have just got to buckle down and get in better shape. Still wishin that mom would come out and see us. Maybe one day.
