Christmas Lights at Rhema

This year we braved the cold and took Jamison to see the lights at Rhema. It is such a blessing to see Christmas through his eyes. He could have stayed there the entire night despite how cold it was. We had a wonderful evening walking through the display.

Turning 30!

It's been an blessed 30 years and it keeps getting better and better. I am thankful for all my family and friends who sent their birthday wishes to me. Fish took me to dinner at Flemings at Utica Square. I've never been there before and was impressed by the food and service. We are definitely going back! An evening in excellent company without kids was a very nice treat.

Decorating the House for Christmas

I am so thankful to be married to the male version of Martha Stewart.  Fish is so awesome when it comes to getting this Christmas lights on the house.  Each year this season gets more and more enjoyable to decorate for.  Jamison and Jaxson provide plenty of inspiration to Fish to get lights on the house and Christmas up!  Fish is awesome.

Whirlwind November - Catching Up

After Halloween it feels like time flew by our family. It seemed that after Halloween business picked up for the holiday season and our days and nights rolled together. For thanksgiving, I took the boys up to the lake with the Hart's while Fish stayed behind to catch up on the books and to try to keep up with work. Since then everything has been a blur. Fish did find time however to get us all out on a Saturday to rake up all the leaves. It seemed like we had a really nice November weather wise and it was fun to be outside. Jamison loved piling them up to crash in on them.

New Opportunity at Solarc...potentially

The past couple of years I spent my time implementing SRA at an oil company in Savannah, GA and Houston, TX. The project is coming to an end, but I think we have another 3-6 months. Thankfully they prefer me to work remotely to keep the costs down. With our new family addition it has been very difficult to navigate the path forward with my career. I didn't realize what a stress it has been for me. Yesterday an opportunity came up at work to keep working on projects and stay with my current project. The majority of the work would be done in Tulsa. My hope is that the first project gets going and gets done well so we can replicate it for other customers. It will be an answer to a prayer that I never prayed.

So Tiring....In a great way!

This weekend we found ourselves with so much to do. We did it, but I feel no more productive than when the weekend began. Jamison received his white/green belt in karate, he was invited to a very fun birthday party, and we finished up with Trunk or Treat at our church. We were on the go. Today I was talking to my dad and he said that he and his friends went fishing for 6 hours yesterday. I had to laugh at myself for being so envious of his six hours of doing something he marginally liked. It is pretty pathetic. Parenthood is a good thing. It teaches me that it isn't about me and never was about me. I think that is why it is so frustrating right now because I cannot let that go. Hopefully each day will get better. I hope to become a better person than when I started down this path.

Preparing for Halloween

This is a first for the Fisher family, decorating for Halloween. It just seems that Halloween isn't celebrated past the age of 11. Now that Jamison is four he asked me when we were going to decorate for Halloween this year. I packed him up and we went to Wal-Mart. I found this all very challenging since I am not much of a decorator. We bought some lights, jack-o-lanterns, scary spider stuff, and a costume for Jasper. Jamison plans to be a pirate this year and he decided he wanted a pirate dog. So we dressed Jasper up to make sure his costume fit. I think he looks pretty cute.
