End of week 20

The acting God in Evan Almighty, Morgan Freeman, is right. When you pray for patience he doesn’t just give you an abundance of patience, he gives you circumstances and events that can promote growth of patience. I remember the last time I prayed for patience, it was about 2 or 3 years ago. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I woke up the next day to find that my truck had been smashed in and my nice cd player had been stolen… Advantage man upstairs. Not only did he win that point, he defeated me and I have not since prayed for patience. Quite frankly I am a little afraid to. Evan Almighty by the way is an underrated movie. I kind of enjoyed it. Things are great with us. My dear wife Tina just turned 31 yesterday. It is about time, I can’t stand her being able to act all young and stuff around me because I turned 31 five months before she did. She had a nice day I think, we went over to her parents house for a nice visit and stuff. She and Ayden are both doing well. Ayden I am sure will start teething anytime now, we aren’t really looking forward to that. Hey note to Cameron, Ayden has a very hard spot on the inside of her mouth, not where a tooth would be but on the roof/inside of her gum, any idea what that may be? Ayden is getting stronger all the time. She rolls over to her stomach all the time, much to her own dismay. She loves rolling over but hates being on her stomach for very long. So my question to her and her mother is why does she keep doing it? It is logical that if you know you don’t like being on you tummy why do you keep rolling over to it. I mean we can’t stop her. It is a constant cycle. She is happily on her back, then she rolls over to her stomach, then after a minute or two she starts whining. Then I get up and roll her back on her back. Then almost before I even sit down again she is back on her stomach. She is getting closer to rolling back over to her back but she is not quite there yet. My work is going well, I really enjoy what I do now and that is such a mental weight off of my shoulders. I am trying to decided if I should try to get a PhD in this field or if I should now pursue what I am really interested on the side and that is cooking. I wouldn’t be pursuing cooking to make a career change, it would be just to get better, it is basically my hobby. I want to make sure I have enough education to get where I want to be in training and development. I want to someday be a director or vice president of training and development or perhaps start my own training consulting company and I want to make sure my education is sufficient to accomplish those goals. I don’t know if a bachelors is enough. In weight loss news I got back on the good path and lost probably about 5 lbs or so. I weighed in this morning at 228.8 lb’s. For review I started this journey to better health 20 weeks or 5 months ago. At the time I started I weighed 276.6 lb’s and was wearing about size 43 pants. Today I am weighing 228.8 lb’s and am wearing size 36 pants. I would say I have made progress. I have lost 47.8 lb’s and 7 inches of my waist. I will have pictures tonight I think. Let me take a second to talk about my wife. She is very special and important to me. She is everything I always thought marriage would be and could be. So for my first marriage to be what is was, was really tough for me. We are taught that sometimes for us to understand the sweet we must experience the bitter. I have tasted more than enough bitter in my marriage life in the past so I can now understand and savor the sweet and forgive my language but damn is it sweet. I am going to be coming out with my top 20 movies of all time in the near future. You all are welcome to second guess my decisions and rankings all you want, but you will be wrong. Peace out.
