Learning to finish

I have always had issues finishing what I have started. I usually start projects and then they sit unfinished. For some reason this year has been different so far. And right now I am embarking on one of my greatest projects ever, a complete overhaul of a totally bland backyard. So far the pool is in and the grade has been excavated. Now the stamped concrete will go in on tuesday and then it is on to the built in bbq and the patio cover.
Thomas and I spent most of the morning at
Lowe's doing some last minute research.
Stay tuned to see how I finish the job...lots of pictures to come.

How it's gonna happen

So I know that it is not new years but I have some goals to help me on my way to having the best year ever.
1. I have missed my Bible (a lot). I really have missed it, I read the first chapter of John today along with the first chapter of Genesis and Psalms and Proverbs. WOW I have really missed the word (JESUS IS AWESOME). I started reading the bible today using a App for my phone called youversion. Check them out at http://www.youversion.com/  it is pretty cool. You can pick a reading plan and then pick a version to read it in.
2. Of course I want to be the best husband and father that I can possibly be this year. I am hoping that my first goal really helps me in this goal. Nikita and I are coming off one of our best years together and are hoping that this is our best one yet.
3. I have missed the weights. So I have lost 90lbs and I am in the best shape of my life but I am not as strong as I would like to be. We have a new house and a room that is totally dedicated to working out. Nikita told me the other day that it is the only room in the house where the carpet is still perfect...ouch!!! I guess I need to put that room to some use. The goal is 3 days a week to do a total body workout.
4. I would still like to climb 5.12 and climb over 1,000 feet. Which means actually training hard.

My best year ever


So I turned 32 yesterday and I decided its about time that I have the best year of my life. I have decided to track the best year of my life with a picture everyday, so I am going to post the pictures every day on this blog along with all the other things that make me happy.
I am anticipating having a lot of pictures of family, friends (The Fam) and rock climbing.
The first picture is actually from my birthday, I had a great day. We went out to North Bend and went climbing at Exit 38, it was awesome. Climbing with my wife and son is one of my greatest joys.
