Sept, Oct. November....sorry I missed you...I was busy.

It has been a while since I've written anything...so I might as well recap the past three months.

First and foremost, Congratulations, wife! Yes, we are expecting our second child due to be born in May! Tiger or Alisa...any guesses?

Second...God wants me to be a better person. How do I know this? Because a month ago, I was asked to be the "spiritual leader" of my church...in other words, a "branch president". I am working on being less a hypocrite, and more on taking and following the advice that I give to others.

Third...work is going good. I am teaching about 35 hours week. I teach at a bunch of different places. 3 elementary schools, two preschools, and one community college. In addition, I tutor about 60 students in the evenings.

Fourth...My baby is no longer a baby...sh will turn 1 year old in a few weeks. She is walking and communicating very well. She has quite the independent streak. We are trying to teach her to be self reliant, but not to be too self reliant. As a parent, it is hard to find that happy balance.

Fifth...thanks to my daughter and her killer cuteness...we won $30 in gift certificates to the bakery/cake shop across the street from us! Halloween costumes were handmade by my wife.

And last...my friend from my old job about 4 hours away became the newest member of the Mormon church last Sunday. We drove 4 hours to attend a 3 hour church meeting just to be there and show our support. It is great to see people that are lost and struggling with trying to find a meaning and a purpose out of all of the circumstances and happenings and illnesses and situations that we call life be able to reach a conclusion that yes, there is a purpose, and yes, we do have Divinity within us...and no, we are not just here by random dumb luck of rocks colliding, but are here endowed with a bit of Divinity and power from above with a Divine mission. And most importantly, we are not alone in our search. We have the Heavens open to help us make our way. We are not walking blindly...but are being led, walking in faith, and having our faith confirmed by Him above that we are walking in His path towards Eternal Happiness.
