14 HOURS

as you all know, the time turned back last night. what you didn't know was that, nett and i were so tired that we went to bed early and slept for 14 HOURS!!! and we still were able to get up at 8:40am. man, that was some amazing sleep. i'm normally taking a nap at this time on a sunday, but i'm not even tired right now. i guess sometimes, your body just needs to shut down and go into hibernation mode. i recommend everyone try it sometime.

birthday sale

man, today was a great birthday at work. i sold one car and made more in one day than i ever made in more than a week at my last job. God truly has had His hand on our lives. i also went to Texas High's homecoming and got to see first hand why they are the #1 team in the state of Texas. Ryan Mallett is a quarterback that we are going to be watching on Sunday afternoons in about another 4 years or so. this kid truly is something special to write home about.

happy birthday

well, tomorrow (October 20th) is my 26th birthday. i have to say that i just don't get excited about my birthday like i use to. i guess that's just part of getting older. jeanette was even asking me what i wanted for my birthday and i honestly couldn't think of anything that i wanted that i don't already have. i guess i'm just not a materialistic person. don't get me wrong, i am a guy that loves technology and gadgets and golf clubs and stuff just like any guy. but, there's nothing that i could think of wanting that i don't already have. all in all, i guess this birthday has just helped me realize even more, how blessed i am. i guess that's why i'm "LIVING THE DREAM!"

fantasy football

fantasy football is a phenomenon that is absolutely sweeping our culture. some people hate it, others can't imagine a football season without it. whether you have a position on it or not, you have at least heard of it. i've been in a league with the same group of guys for about 5 years now. we always do a live draft online which is a lot of fun. it's funny to see a bunch of grown men getting overly excited about a bunch of guys running around in tights getting balls thrown at them ;). if you like football alright and you've never played fantasy football you should definitely give it a shot.

life's great...

ya know, sometimes we all lack gratitude for the things that God has done and is doing in our lives. i must admit that i am as bad as anyone when it comes to that. i have to say, that i am the most blessed person that i know. other people measure how blessed they are by their financial state of being or how much "STUFF" they have. i'm not rich and i don't have every material possession desired by man, but there are some things that i do have.

i have the most amazing wife that any person could ever wish for. i also have a wonderful baby boy on the way. not to mention, i have an AMAZING job with 2 bosses that can only be rivaled by my previous boss of 4 years at Golf USA. it also helps that i do make enough for jeanette to stay home with the upcoming baby. i've had a lot of circumstances in my life that i would never have planned, but i would never go back and change them because it is those circumstances that have gotten me to where i am now. it's really kind of funny how things happen sometimes. i've had people tell me, especially supposed friends, that i was "missing God" on certain things but looking at everything now...i am EXACTLY where i wanted to be at this moment in my life. i'm at a job that i love and in a financial state that is allowing my amazing wife to stay at home with our upcoming baby. so, next time you are going through a fire or you're making a decision that you feel very strongly about press on no matter what the "nay sayers" around you say.

just stay focused and remember to thank God in all circumstances...because, it is usually the uncomfortable ones that get us to where we want to be in our lives. and that friends is why i am "LIVING THE DREAM"

HAT TRICK!!!

today was absolutely an awesome day! there is a phenomenon in the car business that happens ever so often to a very skilled or lucky salesman; the event of selling 3 cars in one day. well folks, in my second month in the car business, i was that "lucky" guy. it was totally a God thing. i went from being at the bottom of the sales board for the month to the top in one day. our general manager always says "you can make a week in a day and you can make a month in a week". boy is he right! now if i can just keep the momentum going i will have a great month for my BIRTHDAY.

how bout them cowboys!!!

it's football season once again and i am totally stoked, because the dallas cowboys are on a roll. this is going to be an interesting game this week watching terrell owens go back and play in philadelphia for the first time since he left. i hope the boys hang 40 points on them. GO COWBOYS!!!
