Moving Forward

Ok here is the thing....I have been horrible at this from the start and I know it shouldn't be that difficult but, it is. I can't possible hope to account for all that has happened over the last few months but I can give the short and skinny of it.

WE are pregnant. Now many people may have an issue with the word WE. However, my wife assured me that she is not going through it alone so I should use the phrase WE, when discussing the pregnancy. We have also found out we are having a baby boy and are finally through with arguing over names. Its settled. Of course God has a sense of humor about when we are certain about things so unless something drastic happens our baby boy will be named Elijah Scott. I even like the way that looks. We do have a backup name. Gabriel Isaac. Both good solid names. Chenoah and I keep plugging away at the house getting things done here and there. A lot slower than anticipated but its coming along.

The puppies are wonderful, even though they really aren't puppies anymore. Bo and Sunny will turn 4 in January and its a hard thing for me to believe. Those little fur balls provide so much joy in our lives.

Work is progressing. We have added another employee, and are looking to add more. I am trying my best to assume the financial future for our family and right now the prospects are grim. Just been a tough year. God willing, next year will see drastic improvements. We attempted to start a radio show. It was a blast. We had all sorts of fun. We were on 5 days a week for an hour a day and I would have done 2 hours if I could have afforded it. Alas, the cost of the show and the regulatory environment prevented us from really pushing forward with the show. Maybe again in the future but at this point in time the show is on hold. We are however pursuing the hiring of at least 3 more brokers as soon as possible.

holidays have gone well. Thanksgiving we went to my parents house and ate way too much turkey all weekend. We went to the Tartan Ball on Saturday after Thanksgiving which was a lot of fun drinking and dancing.

Our cruise went well however we think we would rather go to one place in the future. Just didn't get enough time to explore the different islands. But it was a lot of fun anyway.

Christmas was wonderful, we were on a tight budget this year and we managed to make the best of it. I am heading to Australia in January to go see Jeff. So that was pretty much the Christmas we got. Plus all the art we bought on the boat. Now we just have to find a place to put it all.

Well that pretty much is the gist of where things are. I will again attempt to be a better record keeper of events. Maybe my soon to be born son will be the inspiration I need to keep a better record of what is happening in our lives. Till next time.

Cheers
