I am a Christian, a husband, father, and friend, with the calling of an itinerant pastor. I also serve special needs kids in the public schools.

Learning to Drive

One of Andy’s first experiences driving a vehicle. I’m a firm believer in teaching our children to drive at an early age. I learned basic defensive driving skills on my brother’s go-kart that have served me well as an adult. I actually know what to do when the car begins to slide sideways.

However, I don’t think Andy learned that lesson in the Jeep. And it’s obvious that Joey is hardly paying attention to Andy’s driving skills at all.

 

 

Celebrating Four

Heidi and I went out to Bonefish, our favorite restaurant, last night to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. The LORD has blessed us with four wonderful years and we pray He blesses us with many years to come.

We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp, which is an appetizer, the calamari, side salads and a couple of glasses of wine. We always have a hard time figuring out how so many can eat an appetizer, and then an entree. The appetizers are enough for us.

 

Our New (Used) Wheels

The LORD provided us with a “new” set of wheels. For us, the word “new” is flexible, and in this case, means “less than 10 years old.” Turns out that the man who provided these wheels for us, got the year of the car wrong. He said it was a 2011, which would mean the care would be less than 10 years old. It would be the first time in many years that I had a car less than 10 years old.

But it’s a 2009, making it 10 years old and counting. All we could was laugh.

We are still extremely thankful! For a 10 year old car, it’s extremely nice and has a lot of features. In fact, Joey was sitting in the front seat for the first time, looking at all the knobs, buttons and switches, and said, “hey Dad, you have heated seats!”

Heidi and I have been really grateful for that little discovery with all the cold weather we have had lately.
