First week

on the job and I am loving it - well really I guess I just finished my second week - it has gone by so fast. I did a full office remodel, the biggest client that we will have if we land the contract came in, had a happy hour and today a Pig Roast. I haven't been this happy at a job in a long time, I found what I was looking for in a job and it makes it that much easier to get out of bed in the morning. It is funny when I went to happy hour - not only was I happy to be invited to come along but these people are some drinkers but I behaved myself and only had two. Steve always makes fun of me because normally my happy hours are not an "hour" - it is pretty much a late night - I told him it was the Timmerding gene in me always having that one more :)

Brayden told me last night he was happy about my new job because he gets to see mommy more - he can be such a sweet boy and then the devil all in the same day. He knows I hurt my knee so yesterday he did everything the first time I told him - Crazy I know, what kid does that LOL - and he just took care of me - he is such a great kid! Early soccer game tomorrow which is good - it means we will have the whole day to do yard work or maybe head up to KI - it is suppose to be a beautiful weekend.

I was running an errand yesterday for work and I saw a pan handler on the corner in Florence area. Now normally I do not intentionally stop my car and give them money. But this guy - he was a kid - couldn't of been no more than 26-27 and his sign said he was out of work and had a family and he was nice looking in like that all he needed was just a little help. So I stopped and gave him some money. But it is times like those that I wish I could do more, that I wish I owned my own company and I could offer him some type of job or help. Maybe he was just doing a school project or something, but maybe that little bit I gave him will help him. Everyone has a story- it is important not to judge that person and it is important to show and live in Christ - with kindness, empathy, and in actions.

It was just kind of weird because I never see pan handlers on that corner - but I hope he and his family find what they need and they catch a break - we all need those breaks sometime.

Have a great Friday everyone - enjoy the weekend and thank God for your family, friends and all your blessings in your life -

Miss and love you dad,

Much love to all!
