"Life does not wait for you my friend," Ozzie Osbourne.

Ok so it's been over two months since I've posted. Partially because I've increased my client load, partially because we cancelled our internet at the house, and most importantly, I became a dad for the second time. Now I met Jalah when she was potty trained and talking so this infant thing was a whole new ball game. Jaxx entered this world on September 21 (sorry Kyle we tried to wait a day) weighing just over seven pounds. Ten weeks later he weighs 14 pounds and is already 2 feet long and just PR'ed on deadlift for the second week in a row. Now Shan blames the fish oil she religiously took during her pregnancy but I blame the fact that I think she has mixed up the formula dispenser and my Progenex dispenser which are identical.
I never imagined that my life would be this amazing. Instead of my immaculate bachelor pad, clothes clean and in order, and going out on weekends, I have paitings forged from the imagination of a four year old hanging from the refrigerator, bottles littering the counter, sponge bob on the television, and the ever-so-common spit up stain on my shoulder. I have turned to Ambien to get me through the nights when baby lets us know that he hasn't eaten in ten minutes. My garage and my closet has been over taken by my wife's clothing and belongings. All this, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Two weekends ago we competed in the second annual Heart of America Challenge held in St. Charles, MO. Our team consisting of Grant, Melissa, Jessi (five weeks out of pregnancy), Jeremy, Shan (eight weeks out of pregnancy) and myself took third overall in the Rx division. The final event was 150m prowler push, 75m prowler pull, 150m wheelbarrow push, and 150m buddy carry. We were in fourth or fifth place about half way through. Our girls Jessi and Melissa kept us in the race the whole time and Jeremy and I took it home. We ended up finishing second in our heat and third in the event. My dad and step mom competed for the first time. They did awesome except for when my dad thought the weight vest had sleeves during the third workout. At the end of one of his workouts everyone on his team was hurled over in pain. With my Flip I captured one of the best Mike Memories ever. He gets into his stance, places his hat on his head, and cites: "Life does not wait for you my friend...Ozzie Osbourne" Then walks away. Thanks for that, Mike.
