As promised...

Happy Halloween, all!
Wow, I can't believe it's been 3 months since I last posted... Sorry Dad and Jess especially, life has been crazy lately and have just not had the time to blog. With that being said, I appreciate my dad's suggestion to write shorter posts more often, so I will try to start that tonight! My only problem is that I love to write, and who knows how long this will actually be. I'll try to restrain myself. LOL!

So, honestly I can't remember what has happened over the past 3 months, but I'll do my best to summarize (oy....) three months of activity into a short blog entry...

The good news is that I have lost 18 pounds!! Not 100% sure how it has come off, but I have been eating better (for the most part) and have been pretty active, although I really do need to work out more often.

The unfortunate news is that I lost my job on 10/1 and am once again on the job hunt. Fortunately unemployment has approved my claim. The truth is I really would rather get a job, but I am certainly not going to decline the income. Please pray for me to find a job in the insurance field quickly so I don't have to rely on unemployment. I am particularly interested in insurance underwriting if you want a more specific job to pray for me. (Thanks!)

I have had a rough couple months honestly and I appreciate friends that will help me get perspective. Thanks so much for taking time to encourage and challenge me. You know who you are!

Finally, last night the Singles had a Halloween party at my house. As Cole and Steve are now living in my basement, I decided to temporarily convert my back patio into a dance floor. It's amazing what a few tarps and some orange lights will do to a simple patio. We also had the use of a fire pit for the evening and were able to sit around the fire and get warm. It was a super fun time. I only wish more people could have come.

Well, I tried to keep it short tonight, thanks for your input on this blog and I will try to continue to update you much more frequently. Buenos nachos! :)
