Hello Again

This brought me to my blog today as someone had a blog question and I had to look at mine to help them understand how to do something. It reminded me that it has been a while since I've caught up with the world or whoever reads and subscribes to this. I'm sure I have hundreds of followers. :)

It was about February since the last time I posted something so I'll get everything caught up to date. I previously was dwelling on a few things such as trying to lose more weight, getting ready to go to Vegas, and my excitement for the Hillsong United concert.

A lot has happened since and I would hope so since it has been 2 months. Life has really been crazy as it is baseball and soccer season as well as our Life Group and Awana. For the past few months Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday's have been consumed with all of the above activities. It has been really good for the family to be doing so much but this schedule couldn't continue forever. Actually this week things seem to be getting easier as it is our last Life Group until next Fall. Soccer really only has about 4 more weeks. There is something about school getting out in about a month which means... life slows down.

Jamie and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. We celebrated by heading out to Market Street Steakhouse for the 1st time and really enjoyed the food. We then went out to Vintner's Cellar and did some hanging out and wine tasting. I took the day off work and our gift to each other was the most amazing camera any person could own. This takes photos to an entire new level with our Nikkon D3100. The zooms and detail with the 14 mega pixel is awesome. This helps accomplish one of my New Years resolutions to get into photography. I'll promise to post some amazing photos soon.

I've been playing baseball again with Benji Edwardson. It has been a lot of fun as we are not only hanging out on the field but also Jamie and Kassie have been getting together. Enjoyed played and getting together as well as opening a bunch of wine bottles together. I will say that baseball has been great with my new custom made 35 inch maple bat. It is the biggest bat in the league and I feel confident that I can cover any pitch.

We have a 1/2 marathon in about 4 months in San Francisco. I think so far Matt Kibler, Josh Ritter and Tim and Crystal Mapes are signed up. We should have a fun group of people. I've got to get more aggressive in training for this as I need to be 20 lbs lighter. I need someone to work out with and stay accountable to the goal! Anyone want to partner with me for 4 months?

Family stuff, my brother Jeremy and wife Amy are having a baby soon. I think 20 more weeks... I'm pumped for them. I want to fly out or take a road-trip out to the east coast. Really excited for them.

Championshp and Toppers are coming up soon for Farmers Insurance. It is our 5th year of qualifying as a 5 year agent. I've got an amazing bunch of people that work for me that help us qualify for this. I'm really excited as two of the Agency Producers qualify to go this year under the new program. It is a great part of Farmers as they recognize the efforts of the producers which help make the goals for the office. We'll be heading to San Francisco and San Diego for the events. Not the most exotic locations like in previous years, but free trips and great entertainment is always good. Farmers is bringing in the band Rascal Flatts this year.

Ok I could write more but I've got stuff to do. I need to stay on top of this blog. I'll keep the updates going if I know people are reading :)
