Homeward Bound!

Missouri, its been great...but we are heading back to cactus country! So as some of you might have heard, we are coming back to Arizona baby. Things here in Missouri have been awesome. Life in the last year here has been educational. I have always said that Life experience is what matters. I am walking away from this experience here with a greater understanding of hard work and humility. As I have worked here in Missouri with my cousin John, We have had opportunity to get to know one another better and learn from each other. He has been inspirational to me and has taught me may valuable life lessons. I owe alot to him for the things which he has helped me with both spiritually and physically. The winds of change however have fallen upon our family and we are moving back to Arizona where I a surrounded by my friends and family and my network. I have some big ideas and plans. I have a re newed sense of direction and an optimistic outlook. This economy of ours can be overcome individually and with proper energy and positive outlook, success can be achieved. I am going to miss my beloved Royals, even though they are currently letting me down in the American League Central Division. I wish i had more time to see the Chiefs play at Arrowhead stadium. I have really enjoyed the Church History sites here and loved getting to understand the history here. I am grateful for my cousin John and Jen and their family for showing love and a welcoming spirit for me and my family. We will miss there presence and cherish the times her that we have had with this extended family. I will not however miss the cold icy winters here in Missouri. I look forward to the beautiful winters that Arizona offers. I look forward to the many many months of swimming in the pool. I look forward to spring training. I will miss the green grass and plant life here in Missouri, but I will not miss the mosquito's. I am ready for change. I am ready to take on the challenges before me. Lets do this! I have repaired my knee that has been a hindrance to me for about 2 years. I replaced my ACL and repaired my meniscus in my left knee. Things are looking up for me. I have new things in my life that excite me. Arizona is calling my name and I have to return to my roots. I cant wait to be back. The thought of it is like new found energy that has been lacking. I will no longer lay dormant, as i am about to rise up like the phoenix!. Be prepared for big things, because i see it to be so. Thanks Missouri for the experience...I will never forget. Arizona has a good football team if i remember right...hmmm..ill check into that..
