Super stressful, crazy, but Blessed week….

So I found a new place! I am a Huge fan of Matt Chandler’s preaching (feed://feeds.feedburner.com/TVCSermonAudio) and one of the things he always talks about is how people in the church get married after being single for years, the whole time living by themselves only to find out that living day in and day out with another person is extremely difficult. He is a big time  proponent of single dudes having roommates to prepare themselves for living with their future spouse. I Completely Agree! with this idea. The whole time I lived in Dallas I was living by myself and my ability to resolve conflict and  my ability to be selfless sucked in a big way. Being a bouncer and cracking skulls at will didn’t really help my ability to properly “resolve conflict” with other people either, seriously. Point is I made a conscious choice to live with roommates here in Denver and work towards being a better “housemate/roommate” with the full intention of someday being a better husband! Well obviously I will not live in a druggie environment with a dude that needs to get his skull cracked and have some serious sense knocked into him! Which I had to hold myself back from doing after his behavior on my last night there…so I am so glad to report that I am free of that chaos:) I have found a Great place to live in SE Denver! I live in a house full of working male and female professionals who are all here for different reasons and we all respect each other and our individual lives and spaces, very cool. I’m really looking forward to growing out of this experience. It’s also really neat to be able to get to know people outside of my fighting/fitness/bouncer world too!

I have been absent all week b/c I have been studying day and night and will continue to do so until I take another stupid and pointless personal training certification next week. The gym I will be working at will only take this certain certification. Jumping through hoops all in the name of being able to pay my bills so I can build my school up slowly but surely is not always fun but such is life;) Btw I have passed 4 of these dumb things but just never kept them current so here I am getting a new one…..sometimes we never learn, hahahaha!

I want to Thank ALL of the people that have supported me this week via this Blog, my Animal page of FB, FB private messages, texts, calls, emails, gift cards for Chips/Queso/Brew (thanks Broham, that really really hit the emotional spot today in a Blessed and Amazing way:)

Looking forward to getting back on that mat and getting my roll on…I enjoy lifting weights but nothing quite satisfies my soul like cracking skulls on a mat:)

Thank You All!!!
