365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Christmas, Family, Family Time, Football

My son is home for a few days for Christmas and I’m really excited.  He’s got to go back to school on the 28th of this month because the band is flying to Dallas for the football game.  He’s also got several days that he’ll be spending away from home for the basketball games the pep band is playing in.  So, although he’s home for Christmas, he’s going to be gone a lot of the time as well.

We’ve accepted the fact that he’s now a young man and will not be able to spend all his free time with the family.  So we will be treasuring every minute that we get to spend together as a family.  Who knows how many more times we’ll get to spend the holidays together as a family.  I hope many more.

I decided to take the weekend off and just make sure I work harder this week to make it up.  My right foot has been giving me fits and I decided that I needed to stay off of it for a couple of days.  I had a meeting this afternoon but other than that I’ve been staying off of it.  It feels some better today after being off of it for a whole day.  I know the scales will be much higher than on Friday but I’ll just have to deal with it.

I work three days this week and off for Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday.  My wife and twin daughters are out of school for two weeks starting tomorrow and my son is coming home on Tuesday of this week so I’m actually looking forward to four days with my whole family at home.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Alabama Football, Band Compititon, Birthday Celebration, Family Time, High School Band, MDB, Million Dollar Band

I had a great day today, busy but it was a really good day.  I got over my little rant that I had last night and decided to put it behind me.  My wife and I traveled nearly two hours to watch my daughter’s band compete.  It was cold and had a constant mist falling throughout the time we spent there.  It was after 11pm when I got a text saying that they were loading the busses to come home.

After spending some time at the competition, we went to my parents house where I spent a couple of hours with my mom and dad and all my siblings.  We had a couple of family members have birthdays this month so we met to have a small celebration.

While I’m waiting on my daughters to come home I’m watching the Alabama vs Georgia game. I had it recorded so I could watch it when I got home. I mainly watch it to see if they happen to show the band and of course they did and who do I see?  Yes, I see my son on the tube, wet and soaked to the bone but at least he looks like he’s having fun.  My son is living his dream.

It feels like I’m in a holding pattern for the next few weeks.  Every weekend for the whole month of October will be filled with something going on.  Luckily some of my time will be spent with the family but there will be a lot of time away from them.

My next “official” day off will be for the Thanksgiving holidays.  I don’t have any doctor’s appointments until mid December.  Maybe I can use this time to build my vacation time.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Alabama, Beach, Family Time, Ocean, Photography, Photoshoot, Weekend

Normally at this time I’d be trying to prepare myself for tomorrow, Monday.  Tonight I’m rejoicing the fact that I will not be going to work tomorrow.  Instead, I’ll be getting ready for the trip planned for Tuesday.  Tomorrow, I’ll have a lot going on including a small photo shoot.  Once the shoot is over with I’ll have some stuff to do but because I did most of it today it won’t be so bad.

Today, I cleaned out the back of my truck.  I’m not sure how the back gets so cluttered with junk.  Anyway, I got the back cleaned and hosed out.  I vacuumed the inside of the cab and gave her a good washing.  I then backed the truck up to my trailer and hooked up to it to pull it out to be able to work on.  I removed both tires and loaded them into the back of the truck so that I can get some new/used tires tomorrow after the shoot.  I looked like I had took a dip in a pool when I got done with all that today.

365 Day Photo Challenge, 4th of July, Cycling, Family Time, Pedals

_1TH0334

Happy 4th of July everyone!!  I spent the day smoking some ribs.  I waited until my kids got home from work to eat with them.  It’s the first time I’ve ever smoked any ribs and they turned out pretty good.  I still smell of smoke though.  Kids are already in bed getting some much needed rest so they can go back to work tomorrow.

Tomorrow my plan is to put my new pedals on my bike and get my cleats adjusted and take a short ride into the next town.  I need to have a meeting with a scout parent and this will give me an excuse to get on the bike. I’t been a messy weekend and it doesn’t look to promising tomorrow but I’ll ride rain or shine.

I hope your 4th was enjoyable and I hope you got to spend it with your families.
