Over the Hump!

I think the family is finally over the hump and everyone, at least at this time, is on the road to recovery. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. Hopefully, this weekend we will finally get everyone to where they need to be health wise. Maybe actually enjoy the days off!

Just want to let everyone know that Jen has been having a rough time at work these last couple of weeks. Don't want to get to detailed. Suffice it to say, she is really down in the dumps! As a result of the issues at work, she has been having problems sleeping at night and has had very little appetite these last couple of evenings! If I could just request that everyone could pray for Jen and her work situation. Thanks.

Have a Blessed Day!

....And It Continues

Just as I thought everyone was getting better! Andrew woke up this morning with a 102 degree temperature and complaining of an ear ache. My mom took him to the doctor's and found out that he now has a 2nd bout of strep throat. This sucks! This family just can't kick this thing. I think we are going to need to fumigate this house just to rid it of all the bacteria. We might have to start wearing medical mask and gloves (Ha!! Ha!!).

By the way, thanks mom for taking the kids to the doctors this morning. Jen and I both thank God each and everyday for you and everything that you have done for us over the years. I don't know what we would be doing without you being there for us. For that matter, the whole family has been absolutely wonderful over these last 4+ years helping out, Thanks. Unfortunately it takes moments like this to remind of how special a family we have.

Hopefully, tomorrow I will be able to report some better news!

I Am Still Here...

First off, I have to apologize for my lack recent posts. I have to be honest, I simply have not been in the mood for posting. There really hasn't been much going on these last couple of weeks. The family has been fighting off the typical winter sore throats and colds. Three weeks ago, the whole family had a bout of strep throat (Yeah!). I can't remember the last time I had strep. To be honest, I am still fighting off something. I have been so tired these last couple weeks. Whatever I am fighting now, it is kicking my butt! If I don't start feeling better by middle part of this week, I may need to contact the dreaded doctor. The worse part about starting a new job is what to do when you get sick. I have some PTO time accrued, but I just hate to use it so soon. I just hope and pray that everyone gets well soon. It most certainly been a tough couple of weeks. Although the kids have been under the weather as well, it doesn't really seem to phase them as much as it does for Jen and I. I wish I had that type energy!

Inspirational Story!

I saw Nick Vujicic on TV a couple of months back and was inspired by the man. I happen to be on God Tube this morning and ran across his story. I felt compelled to share this story to my blogger friends. Sometimes we get down on ourselves and wallow in self-pity. I hope this story will be motivation for everyone.

God is amazing!

Two Weeks Down!

It is hard to believe that it has been two weeks since I started my new job. Things are going well. They are loading me up with work, which is fine. It makes the workdays go by fast. I am getting along with the guys pretty well. The only thing that I have to still get used to is the foul language. Everyone in my department uses colorful metaphors quite well! I have to keep on reminding myself a lot of the people I work with are ex-military. Needless to say they are a different breed. I am already looking at my first government holiday (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) tomorrow. Sorry for those of you who have to work tomorrow (Hee Hee). I plan on sleeping in and enjoying the day off with Jenny and the kids!

Speaking of the kids, I caught Daniel a couple of days ago trying to blow our ceiling fan out. I had to get this on video. Hope you enjoy as much as Jen and I did.

One Week Down

I have successfully completed one week at DSCC (Northrop Grumman). They still don't have me doing much, simply because I don't have my badge and login credentials. Hopefully, I will be able to get this on Monday. If I get all of my credentials on Monday, I have a feeling they are going to pile on the work for me. All I can say is bring it on. The more work I have, the faster the work days will be. I have noticed over the week that everyone at this facility is so nice. Walking down the halls, many people go out of there way to say hi. These are complete strangers mind you. That never happen over at my previous employer. It really is a great feeling.

Have a Blessed Day!

Feeling Comfortable

It is the end of day 3 on my new job at DSCC. Things are going well. The guys that I am working with have really been working with me trying to get me up to speed. I figure this time next week I should be in a much better comfort zone. I just want to thank all everyone who have been praying for me. I really have felt a sense of peace these last two days at work. I know this is not by coincidence!

Have a Blessed Day!
