It's been a while since I have posted anything. This summer I was able to take a deep breath and relax a little from school. It felt really good! Camping trips, long family walks, a wedding in KS, a romantic summer night in Chicago at a play, and time at the park and playing in the yard with the kiddos have been wonderful. I began my educational journey in August of 1986 as a Kindergartner in Avon, IN. I will be ending that journey this year at LCU in Lincoln, IL in May of 2015. God willing, this will be my last year! Fortunately, I just need to complete a two-semester internship and one more class for licensure. I love setting and meeting goals! It has taken a lot of dedication and sacrifice to keep the target in site; props to my wife for putting up with me and a very chaotic schedule! My prayers and positive self-talk will be screaming this year's motto: Nine more months-we can do it!!!
It's nearly time to start working on new goals. During that latter half of my educational journey, I also began building an awesome family to share my life with. I actually like these people that I'm sharing a roof with. Which is why my goals for the next era of my life include becoming a more enjoyable and involved family man, strive to be a more successful counselor, and having more fun- like this summer. I'm also lucky to have great co-workers which helps encourage the "more successful counselor" part tremendously. Hopefully, I can sleep some time in-between. The camping, vacations or relief trips abroad, times at the park/ymca, and just goofing off with friends, new or old, brings relief to my soul. Thanks be to God for blessing me with the life that I have. Just nine more months!!! :)
