Sooo tired...

LIFE:

Ah, the rigors of getting back into the school schedule! Madison has started 2nd grade. Connor is in pre-school. We've almost got our routines down with some minor changes/additions to it coming in the near future.

Ok, as any good dad should... I've got to brag on my kiddos!

Madison's class has a behavior chart. It goes, Blue, Green, Yellow, Red. Everyone starts on Green and moves to yellow or red if they misbehave. The Blue is a special color indicating you've had the "Best Day EVER!" Well, in the first two weeks of school, Madison has had 5 blue days! I think it's time for the teacher to raise the bar in what is considered "best day ever" for Madison.

Connor has moved from the Intermediate class to the Advanced class in the first couple weeks of being back at pre-school. He read his 6th book and is progressing nicely!

I played in a disc golf tournament (The Skeeter Heater in Smyrna, TN) last Sunday! I played in the Advanced Amatuer Division. I moved up to this division this year. My goal has been to cash (actually don't get cash, but payed out with products (discs, bags, etc)) in every tournament I play in. I've cashed in all but one this year. I finished tied for 7th out of 32 players. Definitely my best finish this year! Maybe I can eliminate the mistakes I made and actually have a Top 3 finish in Advanced before the years out!

GOD:

Nothing profound here this go around. Sometimes you just do life and do your best to walk in Christ's footsteps. I will say though, with our new routines, I've been able to allocate time to actually read my Bible every day. I've picked up where I left off in trying to read the Bible in a year. Confession: I won't read it in a year, but the point is to build the habit and keep at it, which I'm now doing! Exodus was interesting where I found the first recorded song in the Bible as well as the answer to the age old question, boxers or briefs?

INSURANCE:

I'm sooo tired of reading! I've completed my course work for Property and Casualty! 20 hours of online reading and simulated tests for both (40 hours total). I take my official P&C licensing exam this Wednesday (August 31st) at 8AM. I can't wait to get my license so I can start selling! I've also been completing Farmers training modules. These aren't the most exciting videos (are any training videos though??). But, they're required and I'm moving through them as quickly as I can so again, I can start selling. I can't wait to get my Farmers email address and new business cards. I'm so ready to actually be productive rather than just read or watch videos about it!

So there's the skinny on the last three weeks. I'm really looking forward to the coming weeks... OU football kicks off on 9/3, the NFL season kicks off on 9/8, I start leading a new group of high school guys on 9/7, and then there's the fall weather that can't get here quick enough!

Later friends!
