The extended vacation, AKA looking for a job...
Since mid-December I have been back in Dallas. Initially still working with Anres, but from home mostly, and since the 6th I have been officially looking for a job as a job. I have to say a few things about being home all day with my wife, Stacy, and daughter, Emily.
- Stacy is AMAZING. I love Emily, but she has soooo much energy, and she talks. I mean non-stop. Stacy is just an amazing woman. Husbands, if you have a stay at home wife you need to sing her praises daily and in front of large numbers of people!!!
- Emily is a joy. It is so much fun to be working and have her come up and say, "Daddy, will you come pway wiff me for a while?"
- I really missed spending time with them both while I was in Merida, but now I feel as though we are making up for it.
We're planning on taking a little family vacation / road trip to see some friends in Fl. while we have the time. This should be a great experience for all of us, as we haven't taken Emily on any trips further than Galveston yet.
I just finished reading a book entitled "Choosing to Cheat, who wins when family and work collide" by Andy Stanley. I highly recommend taking a look at it. In our Sunday school class we'll be teaching a series of lessons on it. The book absolutely reinforces some of the job choices I made a few years ago.
As a side note, if you need another great author to take a look at, read or listen to anything from Voddie Baucham. This is his website and he also has blog posts here. Be forewarned Voddie is VERY convicting. I've been watching some of his sermons and God has really been speaking to me through Voddie.
Well, that's it for now. Not much to write about when my job is looking for a job.
