10. Zoe will be 10 years old this November! Sometimes I can hardly believe that it's already been 10 years since she joined our world. My God, where has the time gone? One minute I am chasing high school girls around after school, the next I am in the mountains of South West Asia chasing the Taliban, and 2 seconds ago I met the love of my life Melissa. This life is so short when you look at things through the lens of your children.
The new job is hard but it is a very fulfilling job. I finally feel that I am back in a real leadership position again. Being a team leader was a leadership position, but you don't actually get to lead. I guess you would have to know what I am talking about to get it. At the new job I have so much more authority over the day to day operations of the unit, and I thrive as a leader under pressure. I love motivating young NCOs to do their best and grow as leaders.
Anyway, enough about work. September has been a whirl wind month, full of baby visits, outdoor activities, and new beginnings. Our little family is growing and getting used to the new routines. I am so proud of Melissa for the way she has handled everything, and of Zoe for being so flexible and sharing her Mom and Dad time with Teagan. Someday I hope I can really show them how much they mean to me and how powerful of an influence they are on my life and day to day decisions.
The Cardinals just won against the Astros to tie up the wild card race with the Braves. One more game left in the regular season. Come on Cards, get another win for us!
