For what it's worth

So tomorrow marks day 70 of my book of mormon blog. I really enjoy writing it. I feel like I learn more from the scriptures when I write about what I read.

Anyway, for those of you not interested in reading about my scripture blog every time you check my blog I do have other things happening in life.

In case you haven't heard, we are adopting again. We have been matched with a rockstar birthmom! A baby girl will be joining our family sometime near the end of June.

Work is still great and I still love it. Some days are crazy, some are not, but I still love my job. We had a big deal for a couple months where we put loans into the system like a marathon, that is over now, but still busy.

I love my wife and kids so much. I love to come home to them, I love to hang out with them. I'm glad I get to be with them forever.

Life is good, I hope yours is too.

What have I been up to?

Fair question.

Lately I have been working really hard at the bank, focusing a lot on making sure that I make my boss and his boss happy. Lately, this has meant putting on lots of loan applications. I really like it. It feels nice to know that I am changing people's financial lives for the better. It's awesome!

Running, or walking or wogging as it is affectionately called at our house. Four to six times a week, I mount the treadmill, I call it satan, mostly because it causes me misery, also, it has a terrible habit of just stopping with no warning. Not a big fan of almost smacking my face on the control panel, but what are you going to do?

Not sleeping. Well, kinda not sleeping. I have woken up with nightmares for the past two weeks or so. Not a big fan. Then not being able to get super comfortable again after waking, so never really falling asleep again. I thought at first it was some salsa I ate, apparently not. Or if it was salsa, what the crap was in it?

Writing. Clearly not here right? I am writing a daily blog about the Book of Mormon. I hesitate to tell you, because once I say something, I feel more pressure, which usually translates into me stopping what I was doing. Hopefully that won't be the case this time. I really like writing this new blog. If you want to read it, you can go here. If you don't want to read it, you can go somewhere else.

Teaching Primary. I enjoy teaching primary. It isn't my first choice of callings, but I will do what I am asked, because that is the way I was raised. I have the seven year olds. They are good kids, a little crazy on occasion, but good kids. Trying to figure out how to reach them in a meaningful way. So far, no luck on that front.

Being husband and daddy. I love being married to my wife. I love being a dad to my boys. There is nothing in life that is as rewarding as knowing you are surrounded by the people you love.

Now leaving idea central, Next stop Lack of commitment

You've read my blog long enough to know that I always have an idea brewing. A new business, a blog, a podcast and on and on. It frustrates me. Maybe I just haven't found an idea that I have true passion for yet, or maybe, worse yet, perhaps I just suck at committing to my own ideas.

Before I could at least blame my short and waning interest on having two jobs and not the time needed. Now what? Nothing. I have at least one new idea a day. By the end of the day I've moved on to my next idea. Do I have commitment A.D.D.? Why does one thing seem so great for a few glorious minutes and so stupid the next? I'm not saying that I want to pursue every idea that I ever have, but I would like to take one or two and run with them for longer than a one legged pirate running with scissors.

The podcast was my best effort I think. I stayed with it for a while. However, between scheduling conflicts with my guests and the massive amount of time it took to edit those interviews it was tough to keep up. After Dad passed away, there was no coming back, I was just done.

How about any of you? Have a similar problem to me? How do i fix it or stop it? Please help me!!

Did I ever tell you?

More randoms........

I really miss the candy zotz. Love them.

I actually love to run, I mean love it.

I once ate an entire box of grape airheads. 

I also once ate an entire box of oatmeal cream pies. (still can't even look at them nine years later)

I like to watch people.

I can remember random things from my childhood. 

I have a crazy amount of dexterity in my toes, not just the big toe, all of them.

I love baseball more than any other sport. 

I hate snow, unless I'm playing in it with my kids.

I still love legos.

I have a mantra that really ticks some people off, "A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."

I don't let much get under my skin. 

I had a disgusting, terrible sun burn when i was five. 

I wish I had a super power.

Spending time with my wife and kids is what I would prefer to do at anytime. I love them!
