Two weeks from tomorrow and we will be leaving for New York City. Kristi, Ava and I are going to visit Auntie Carmine and Uncle Dan…It will be Ava’s first plane ride. I have been looking around on the Internet to find a YMCA in New York City. There are tons. I have to keep working out to get ready for my Fire Fighter Physical Test which is 1 week after we get back. So far I have lost 40 pounds in the last 3 months, working out 4-5 days a week and eating healthier.

I am #21 on the Evansville City Fire Fighters Hiring List. Basically it means I have to pass the Physical Test (CPAT Test, Check out this website to see what it intells) http://www.elpasotexas.gov/fire/cpat.asp, and then they have to get to my number. Once I get called up, I have to pass a Doctors exam, Background investigation, and Psychological test; then once all that’s done I get sworn in as a Fire Fighter. There is a little more to it. I ask that you keep me in your prayers. Pray for me as I take this physical test on November 3, 2007 at 12:00 Noon. Pray that GODS WILL be done in my life on that day and in the future as I am pursuing this as a Career. I really do believe this is what I am supposed to be doing with my life.

Wow, it has been a long time since Kristi or I have written anything. We have been very busy with life. I know, I know, everyone has that excuse. Well I do want to give some update on how we as a family are doing. Ava is 8 months old and growing like a weed. Pretty soon within a couple of weeks we are going to have to get a new car seat for her because she is growing out of the “baby” seat, the seat you first start off with.

Other BIG NEWS, We found out about a week and a half ago that Ava is going to be a big sister in May. THAT’S RIGHT, Kristi is Pregnant and is due May 13, 2008. She is 8 week along today. She is due 1 day after our 7 year Wedding Anniversary. I will try and blog a little more frequently so you can experience her progress as we did with Ava, along with pictures.
