Of Turkey and Football

I can’t wait to see y’all this weekend. A nice (paid) holiday with everyone I love…. except for Amanda. We decided that this Thanksgiving she would stay in Frankfort and we would figure out this whole mess next year when we can drive together and only kill half the amount of trees. I am so proud of our family, all grown up getting jobs, and married, and following dreams.

I can’t wait to see y’all this weekend. A nice (paid) holiday with everyone I love…. except for Amanda. We decided that this Thanksgiving she would stay in Frankfort and we would figure out this whole mess next year when we can drive together and only kill half the amount of trees. I am so proud of our family, all grown up getting jobs, and married, and following dreams. This holiday season will be much different than last year’s, even more so than the years past have been. I want to say or type, that I am thankful for all you guys. I have a lot going on in Lexington (more than just wedding planning, though it will be taking increasingly more time up). My work is going real well though very challenging, and the ministries that Amanda and I are involved are just as difficult though seem to use a different part of me. It’s like I have to use one half of my brain for part of the week and be ready to switch to the other half at any moment. I just want to thank you, mom and dad, for preparing me and supporting me even while far away. You and the grandparents have laid the foundation of my faith and my work ethic (granddad and pappaw) and my love for others (all the women in my life).
To see Paul take a leap and move to Lexington has inspired me to say the least and added an aspect of my life that has been missing for several years. And watching Meagan turn into the smart, dedicated woman she has become gives me so much joy. I can’t wait to see you guys and be thankful together. I pray that Jesus continues to work in our lives and that we may continue to be in the position to bless those that don’t know our joy. Please pray that I can continue to stay focused on the call on my life and that Amanda and I are able to make decisions that are in line with God’s will.
My favorite thing about football is hanging out with the men in my family.
