Dear Reader,
Some friends of mine have recently been writing blogs about different topics from entrepreneurship to family life. There are some really consistent writers; some are very articulate. At the beginning of this year, one posted for the first time in 16 months! However, no matter how often they write or what topic they address, it is always nice to hear from old friends, especially on a platform where they share their most honest feelings. I love reading what these friends are doing and what they are going through. With that said, I come to you again from behind the keyboard to apologize for my neglect in writing due to working, parenting and singing. How can I keep from singing?
Down below I will give you a life update, but I wanted to inform you all of how great our Heavenly Father is. He knows us. He loves us. He wants the best for us. He sent His son to fulfill the atonement and learn how each one of us feels in order to comfort us in our times of need.
Now, for an update of a rather extensive amount of time: I'm a dad! Lauren and I had a little boy named Gavin on October 22, 2017. He came into our family in the wee hours of the morning (1:09 AM) at a whopping 8 lb. 15 oz (Same as his dad!). He is stinkin' cutie that came with a lot of hair and a good set of lungs. It didn't happen often when was first born, but he could scream loud enough to shatter glass. Though, it's not bad at all. In fact, he didn't come out crying and the pediatrician had to poke and prod him to make him let out the most pathetic and wimpy cry I've ever heard from an infant.
Fast forward 7 months (Yes, I know it has been a long time since I have given you an update) and he is sitting up, almost crawling, and devouring bananas like they are going out of style. We have discovered that he loves water including bath time and the pool. Seriously, he was just in heaven when we got in the Colorado River down in Moab a couple weeks ago. He still has a good set of lungs, but now he makes much more noise, most of which sounds very intentional.
Work is the real reason I haven't been up to date with you, my friend. Last time I wrote was just before I started working with two Language Service Providers (LSP), InSync Interpreters and Linguistica International. You can ask me later how I feel about working with each of them. However, between those two agencies, Shriners and the occasional Spanish tutoring student, my work schedule has been pretty busy. It has to be said that I love working at Shriners Hospital for Children. The team is amazing and I get to meet people from all over the world.
The last update you need to know about is joining an a Cappella group called Inversion. My cousin James invited me to audition, so I did. It has been a good outlet of fun because...well, music. We have been working hard to learn some songs for summer shows we will be doing.
There is so much else that has happened since I last wrote, but we will leave that for another time. I just wanted to give an update to let you know that you are not forgotten, nor will you ever be.
