Has it really been since Thanksgiving?!!!

WOW!!! I can't believe it's been since Thanksgiving since I have blogged!!! Just to catch you up a bit, in case you haven't figured it out, I have moved from Lockney to Hydro, Oklahoma. I am the manager of the Chemical Weed Control (www.chemweed.com) location here. We do industrial weed control for oil companies, utilities, pipelines, refineries, power plants, etc... If a guy (or gal) doesn't want anything to grow there, I'm your guy. I travel all of western Oklahoma and the Eastern Texas panhandle. I have an awesome crew of guys here.

Moving from Lockney was a tough decision for me. So many friends, leaving behind an awesome church family, the community, and the fire department. The toughest thing was leaving my 2 girls behind. They are my life, but it was time for them to see their dad living and happy with his life. I get to see them often, and cherish that time with all my heart.

This move has created a few challenges for me, things that you don't take into consideration when you move. Finding the right church family to continue my walk with Christ. Learning new grocery stores, finding a good barber, restaurants, etc.... But I am adjusting well.

Oklahoma is a beautiful state! I have really appreciated all of God's beauty here. The trees, the rolling terrain, and the people have been awesome.

My role here is to make sure my guys are successful. I have an awesome, hard working team!! I have taken lots of life's lesson and implemented them here. Taking from former bosses and experiences, both bad and good, and helping my team to succeed. Chemical Weed Control is an awesome company to work for. They give me the tools I need to make my location successful. By far, the best organization I have ever worked for.

I have leased my home in Lockney to a young man that is going to purchase it soon. Right now, I'm living at my office. It used to be a alternative school/home for troubled kids. So it has MANY bedrooms.

Although I find myself missing my girls terribly, I'm loving life and living everyday to its fullest.

Don't know if I will get back here daily or not, but will at least to make very effort to come here weekly to share.

Thanks for reading!!!!
