Beach Break...

Family:
Just got back from an amazing time at Long Beach with my family.  It was just with my wife, kids, mom, dad, and my nieces and nephews.  It was so fun to hang with them, time has flown by and they are all getting a lot older.

The hard part for me at the beach is that one of the kids is missing...Luke.  I think that for the rest of my life when I step on the sandy cold shores of a NW beach I will think of the fun times I had with Luke on the beach, playing in the sand and waves.

Love you buddy!!



Fitness:
Played in the waves with Jack and Jake.  ( oh and tackled Jack)
Hit the long boards with Jake too.  No crashes this time ;)

Deadlift + Burpees = Sweat Angel

Family:

Today is an awesome day.  Today my baby girl is 4.  She is such a blessing to our family.

This morning she walked down stairs after waking up to her floor covered in balloons (a birthday tradition) singing "balloons on my flo" over and over.  To witch we all had a good laugh and then said happy birthday.

Back at it

I am restarting this blog back up.  I have had this idea on my mind for a long time of posting thoughts on the Bible and also workouts / fitness stuff.  I would love this to be a very interactive kind of blog where ideas and thoughts are shared...so I encourage you to reply with your thoughts.

Faith:

 I just finished reading 1 Kings...What I cam a way with is that our lives carry heavy consequences in our kids lives.  Looking at how the different kings of Israel led they country was similar to how there decedents led the country.

The other big thing I got was that its so easy to forget the things that God has done and how faithful he is day after day...They would see him work but then follow the idols that were around them.
I feel like I need to continually look back and thank God for his faithfulness so I can remeber for hard times that will come.



Fitness: 

I biked off-road a 10K and every 2 min would stop and alternate 5 push-up and 10 squats.

Sounded easy but kicked my but....Finished in 35:40 min.
