HC checks in
« on: January 02, 2017, 10:47:38 AM »
Morning gents-

Just heard from a couple of y'all and it seems I have been missed a little bit. Truth is I have checked in a few times just to see how things were going but I have been reluctant to post much. Honestly I have been struggling to reduce my social media signature, not do fear of the Clintons, but just because I got to the point I was too hung up on what was happening on the screen of my phone. From time to time I would catch myself lost in the forums or the social dumpster that is Facebook.

I see my older kids spending way too much time on this of that and our time is so limited anyways I tried to set the "unplugged" example. So I limited my time to 25 minutes of social media per day... which seems like a lot but it's really not.

Secondary to this, I have moved my grandmother to town and she's quite the handful. But she raised me as a boy, so I guess it's time to return the favor, seeing as how my deadbeat egg donor and my aunt looked the other way when she needed them.

Then you add in school. 9hours for fall, 12 hours this spring. But I can see the objective as far as that goes and hopefully will have my bachelors all tied up by this time next year! Haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up, but we shall see!

Other than all of that, things are going pretty smooth. I'm slotted for the NRA LE handgun instructor next week to add to my list of professional credits. House is great! Work is great! Fam is great! My eldest boy was accepted into University of Arkansas and my second eldest boy is going to be a credentialed welder by the time he graduates high school. Eldest daughter is beautiful as her momma and just got the braces off! Trickling down to the youngest girls everyone is happy and healthy!

Momma and I have worked through some issues recently. We sought out some professional counseling and we are picking away at things that have hindered each of us for a long time. Just little stuff that becomes big stuff. Its actually helped a lot! In many ways. Never fear the couch gents. No shame in reaching out for help!

I guess that's about it for now! I'll check back a little more frequently!

Y'all take care!
Stay staunch!
Blaine

I've seen the marriage counselor or two along the way


Mostly helpful

Mil guys= strong egos, internalizing, fight instinct, and other non-marriage friendly stuff

Prayer is how you really get through that stuff

Nice to hear things are going well.

Agree on the counselors....it can take a while to find a good one but when you do they have an ability to refrain things where it can really help. Good for you guys.

And good for the rest of the family....amazing how they just keep going and growing, ready or not!
