It's been a long time

After much cajoling and even a little harassment, I decided it was probably time to update the blog. I have been meaning to update for a few weeks now, but it seems I have never made the time to update. The last couple months have been a little hectic and I will try to detail what I can without becoming too boring.
  • The 24th of July Holiday was a good time, as the family did a little camping. Yes, I cheated, I slept at home and would drive out in the morning to go on the 4-wheeler ride and other activities.
  • Work has been extremely busy. I found out that I will no longer be the interim Director of Finance for the Southeast Region. Now we can just remove the word interim. :-) This change has meant working on budgets and attempting to help with budget presentations. In addition I am the Finance Lead for the newly formed Execution Practice. All of this is in addition to what I have currently been doing. I am not complaining, I am looking forward to the growth and learning that lies ahead of me.
  • I have a new calling in my ward. Well, I guess it is the first calling I have had in the ward. Together with my neighbor we are the Co-Ward Mission Leaders. Initially this calling was overwhelming. But after meeting with the Bishop I feel better about my calling and look forward to what lies ahead.
  • August is always the time of year when hunting starts. The Bow-Hunt is really one of my favorite hunts. Because you have to get closer to the game, you have to be quiet and it is through that quietness that I can really feel in-tune with the world around me.
  • My hunting season came to an abrupt close this year, as it ended with a little accident. I rolled my 4-wheeler while loading it onto the trailer. Fortunately, my brothers were all with me and helped to ensure that I was going to be okay. After they convinced me to go to the emergency room, it was confirmed that, nothing was broken, just really bruised. After being sore for a few weeks I am finally all mended--with the except of the scratches--and almost back to my self.
  • Oh football season has started. Need I say more?

Well, I think that catches you up on what has been happening.
