Can I just take a moment and say what a blessed man I am. God has placed his hand on me and given me a beautiful, healthy family that I enjoy spending time with and pursuing their passions as well. Our typical week looks something like getting up around 6:30 every morning (after several interruptions of sleep from Baby Presley during the night), working 45-50 hour workweeks, shuttling both boys to different fields and coaching baseball 4-5 nights a week along with every Saturday, trying to fit dinner in somewhere in all of this and then bedtime stories and in bed by 11 to do it all over again the following day. Somehow, someway, Laura has even been able to train for her first half marathon. Don't ask me how she did all of this, but we managed...and wouldn't trade our crazy/hectic life for anything else. All that said, we went to Nashville for the weekend (separately...Grayson had an 8:00 game Friday night that the boys and I stayed for and then drove up, arriving around 12:30 Friday night/Saturday morning). Laura did AWESOME and I am so proud of her for her accomplishment, only 8 months after having Presley. I'm not an exercise guru by any stretch (you can look at me and tell that) but the allure of running one of these is definitely on the radar for next year. Nashville did it up right, with 40,000 participants. It was a lot of fun to see everyone amped up for the race Saturday morning as the sun peaked over the Nashville skyline. We finished up the race mid morning and then spent the rest of the day celebrating our big boy, Grayson, who turned 7 this weekend as well. We had dinner at "The Aquarium" Saturday evening, which he loved, and then took him to Bass Pro to get fitted for a 20 gauge, which is what he wants for his birthday. The doves and ducks better watch out this coming fall! A great weekend spent with family and enjoying all of God's blessings.
