Im yelling at myself in the title of this one. So what have we been up to, well thanks for asking. Let’s start with home life, sports, and then lastly the future of a couple projects we have been working on.

Last week we got to spend the week with my wife’s little brother, I say little but we’re all old now and all have too many rugrats running around the place. Either way, it’s someone I have spent years gaming with and have known since he was in diapers. If you didn’t know my wife and I have been acquaintances since we were nine so yeah a long time. We got to spend a bunch of time with him, his wife, and five kids. Which of course made my wife happy.

Another major change in our home life is a change in the church we now attend. I mentioned it a little before that we left our church and that we had been church surfing and looking for a place to belong. Well, we found that place. Something about the place called to me, and I enjoyed the reputation of the men I had met from the church. Something else that pulled me in was the words of we don’t care what life has done to you and what you have done in life. Come join us we will welcome you in and love you and show you what Jesus says and no matter what we will love you because Jesus loves you. That is more what I see when I read the Bible is a call to love God and love your neighbor, not a if you don’t attend every service of our 12 services a week you don’t love God and you’re not putting Him first mentality. We are truly enjoying having found a place that cares less about a title and cares more about what works and what is Biblical not just a practice of a religion not in the Bible.

Okay on to sports. It’s funny I haven’t had a chance to update on my soccer teams this season. My 11U team which is in its 5th season is 2 and 2. We have tied the season high win total I have ever had lol. Yeah, my teams never do well in the season and usually play the playoffs better. We have another game on Thursday that I hope will put me over 500 for the first time in a season. The team is strong, but they need a little help with their mentality department. They get down prettt quick and give up, one of our two loses was a bad kick away from tied game with 7 minutes left in game instead that kick turned into a goal kick that ended up on our side and the left wing hit a monster shot outside and we were down 2 and the team lost it and next thing I know its 6 goals in 6 minutes and boom over. But have the lead and the team will hold 1 point leads strong. So we will see can we get a trophy this year.

The 8U team has played 2 games and is not just undefeated, they are untouched. Tonight they went 3 to 0 and Timmy hasn’t let a goal in the net as the Goalie for the team yet. He is super on point as the team goalie and with his buddies, they are blowing through teams and I won’t be surprised if they don’t lose a game.

Swimming starts back for the short course for us tomorrow. She was supposed to start Monday but we had Soccer so for the next 3 weeks soccer takes front seat to practice for one last season her last playing soccer. Either way, stay tuned for upcoming meets. We already know which meets we are doing this year but I’ll let y’all know later on I think her first is at the end of September.

Alright, the future of certain projects. I am still working on the project that involves finding ways to give veterans a place to call home and a family to help them through life. The scope has just changed as life has changed and our “religious” preference also changed so we are trying to find a way to understand how to better incorporate our dream into the world we find ourself in now.

I have another project that fell into my lap. My son has gotten super into baseball and not just playing it but watching it and hes always talking to my wife about this or that baseball. My wife asked me to get some recordings of him and maybe archive it so we started a baseball podcast. Its on Spotify its called Daddyballing Out Podcast. We have 2 episodes so far and havent recorded 3 yet because soccer has had our attention the past two nights so we will record another episode tomorrow night.

I kind of rambled a bit tonight but Im going to hopefully drop a second post tonight about something special if I can charge my phone enough and not fall asleep.
