A year later!

I hadn't realized that it has been over a year since my last post! Sorry for not keeping things up to date.  My life is pretty similar to last year's update.  But there have been some dramatic changes too!
I'm still at heritage, but instead of being a part time teacher i got hired on fulltime as the addiction counselor for the boys at the school.  I'm getting internship credit for this!  It is way more stressful than my last position and i'm excited to go back to my old job.  This counseling position is temporary.  The previous counselor was in a car accident so because of my counseling experience they hired me until the other counselor has recovered.
This is not my only intership site.  Finding a site wasn't easy and after 28 rejections i finally found one thanks to Jen!  Since febuary i have been working at Addiction and Psychological Services (APS) running group and individual therapy for my clients.  Most of my clients are sent from the courts to complete therapy.  It is a really enjoyable experience and i love working as a therapist!
Because of all the internship hours i am getting i am hoping to graduate a semester early in December.  I have 5 months left, but i am experiencing some major senioritis.  I can't wait to be done with school!  a semester and a half to go!
Summer is boiling at its fullness now and i am still coaching soccer goalkeepers for Arsenal SC.  I'm not coaching as much as i did last year, but i'm still fitting in a few keepers every week.
I still have a pulse so i am still playing soccer.  Alexa and i both enjoy playing pick up soccer at Timp indoor twice a week and we are on a top level coed team.  I'm also playing in the Salt Lake Premeire league on a team called Pan World.  I enjoy the competition it is comparible to my years at UVU.

I am definetely ready for a break from business.  Working 3 jobs and being in school isn't fun.  There are some days that i leave at 730 am and don't get home until 1030 at night.  It really sucks leaving before my kids wake up and coming home after they have gone to sleep.  Sometimes i really miss playing with them.



As a needed break/father's day/ Landon's birthday present me and Landon went camping. Just the two of us. It was a blast! everything went perfect, me and Landon explored the mountain, sat around the campfire, and slept soundly in the tent.  Landon loved collecting wood with me, chasing butterflies, and with my help he loved shooting my pistol crossbow.



It's hard to believe that i have a four year old.  Even more incredible is that this year i am celebrating my fifth year of marriage!  Alexa and I have a strong marriage.  It helps that i married my best friend and everyday we make each other better.  She is the biggest inspiration for me.  She has such determination and is an incredible mom and wife.
She is also working along with being a fulltime mom.  at the end of last year we moved into a house at storage facility.  Alexa works every day.  It's a great gig allowing alexa to work at home.
Being busy means progress, so i can't complain. And that's my life.
