Transfiguration

At the beginning of this year my wife and I sat down and evaluated where we are and what goals we might want to shoot for in the next couple of years. Things for us were great! We were and are blessed beyond measure and comfortable with jobs and our living situation. But we asked our self this question,,,"What if?". What If we broke out of our comfort zone, dream big, made a plan and then went after those plans and goals with prayer, faith and hard work. We are still in the midst of this Transfiguration period but in the growing pains and long days and nights we are truly seeing the blessings that God is raining down on us. I am very proud to say that December 20, 2012 my wife and I will hold another precious gift. It has been the greatest gift and blessing of my life to be a Dada. I am so humbled and awestruck To become a father to another child. What a wonderful gift. God has truly been present with Cindy in her transition. It has been a blessing to myself, Bethany and the daily life of our household to have Cindy in her new role as a house manager. I love that she can be her own boss. And speaking of work, God has continued to bless our family through Whole Foods. God has put new coworkers and bosses in my life who have taught me so much and helped me grow to new levels at work. I just was promoted to a back-up Specialist role which is a ordering and receiving role which will give me the skill set needed to continue to grow. I was also blessed to get a p/t job at Panera as a baker and I was amazed that this job came just in time with a good salary and a very perfect schedule. God is truly at work in our family and as our family and friends we ask and would appreciate your prayers for us as we grow and try to realize and grab on to the blessings that God has in store for us.

If this was college...I would be graduating!

I wanted to publicly say happy Anniversary to my wonderful wife Cindy Hall. What a wonderful 4 years it has been and the next year is shaping up to be the best on yet!! I can't wait to see what's next!!!!
I love You!!!

I feel like Chicken tonight

This blog is more for Bethany 15-16 years from now more than anything else so I wanted to document 2 new words that Bethany has adopted and their meanings according to Booger Butt. Please to enjoy!

1. Peet-zee
This is Bethany's word for pizza. She has fallen in love with the Italian treat and can even conquer an entire slice. She will eat pepperoni and cheese but she is not to picky.

2. Chickens
The term "Chickens" refers to any manner of winged beast that roams the earth. She has referred to geese as chickens as well as parakeets. This chicken umbrella Bethany has created makes life much more simpler, and it's just really cute!!

My beautiful family!

Sometimes I'm over whelmed with the unbelievable blessings that my God has put in my life. None more precious than my family! Thank you God for my family!

Bethany is too cute for her own good!

On a daily basis, Bethany will do 20-30 Extremly cute things. Like to day for instance, she was playing her piano and was trying to make the demo play so she could dance and sing along. She was pressing the Demo button multiple time pausing it every second push. I looked at her, held up one finger and said "Bethany, only push the button once and it will play." She look at me, reached over and pushed the Demo button once, held up one finger and said "Once". She proceeded to do this multiple times after each demo ended, pushing the button, holding up one finger and saying "Once".
But the cute item of the day I wanted to talk about is about the classic Childerens book humpty dumpty. Bethany received this book in the mail from her cousin Maddy and she wanted us to read it to her. After a couple of times through the story Bethany started repeating the words "Dumpty Dumpty" She continued saying the phrase multiple times throughout the night and hasn't said it since. Do I have the cuitest girl in the world or what!!
DaDa loves you Bethany!

Great Vacation - Thanksgiving 2011

Well, today ends my week vacation and now I'm getting ready to head back to work. I'm not too sad though because it feels really good to get back to a stable routine, I guess kids aren't the only ones who crave routine. We had a fabulous vacation filled with food, laughs and rain, oddly enough in Texas. We always love going to Brenham, Texas to renew bonds and to create some memories for the grandchildren. Black Friday was also an interesting event this year, In my opinion the recession is official over. Now ladies and gentlemen....Lets get ready for Christmas!!!

P.S. only 355 days left until next Thanksgiving!!!

T-DAY 2011

I am a lucky man to have so many wonderful people love and care for me, that's what I am truly thankful for this Thanksgiving! I love you all and thanks for being such a rich blessing to my life! Happy Thanksgiving!
