Latest update

My life has gotten pretty busy. I know that's expected in the summer, but wow, i don't have a lot of free time anymore.
I'm still working at Heritage treatment center as a teacher for the kids to unstable to attend the on campus school. I love my job! It's exciting and interesting, and I feel like i have a lot of freedom in my "classrooms." This job is perfect for me. It's in my area of interest, and it gives me valuable psychological experience which prepares me for my next job after my master's degree.
I'm attending full time at Argosy University to get my Master's degree in mental health counseling. I hope to be finished with my degree when the world ends Dec 2012.
Even though my real profession doesn't start until after a Master's degree, i'm putting my bachelor's degree to some use. My undergraduate was in Psychology and P.E. i want to use exercise and fitness as a tool as a therapist. Even though i can't give counseling, i can at least help people with their body. I'm running a fitness for the mind blog:

I'm not able to play soccer as much, but it's still a major part in my life. right after i get off work at heritage i take to the soccer field as a goalie coach. I'm running a goalkeeper camp for Arsenal soccer club. I got a cool bio on their website:

With soccer camps, Heritage, and argosy, i have 12 hour work days every weekday except for Thursday when i have classes. Alexa is so understanding. I envy that she gets to spend so much time with my incredible boys, but I'm honored to make the sacrifice. There is no one better who can raise them. We each play our own but important part to give everything to our kids. I love my wife so much! I know time is spent working when I'd rather be at home with my family, and i try to spend ever second i can with them. Just as it is important spending quality time with each special member of my family, i also know that time will not be as special if i don't give myself some time too. I'm on a soccer team, but it's more of a weekend warrior thing (And most of my games are before they wake up). We all know that a little time to ourselves is needed so that time together is more treasured.
Landon is officially and completely potty trained. He has gone a month without a diaper (neither training or typical) neither day or night and without an accident. We just celebrated his 3rd birthday. He's already growing up to quickly.
Kyler has been able to pull himself up into the pushup position by himself and is getting too mobile. He wants to crawl walk and stand all by himself already. He has a few teeth that poked through which has eased his temperament, but i think round two is soon to begin...
So this is my life for the next little while, i can't think of a busier time in my life, but the busier you are the more progress your making. I know after climbing this hill i'll be able to coast back down. I'm pushing to get to the crest, but excited to be over it.
