53 Days Till I Do

Jan. 27th

45 days!

When big changes happen in your life you tend to realize what is most important and who are friends you can energize yourself with. The trip to Pensacola and having dinner with Steve Clark helped to put everything in perspective. My wedding, becoming a step father, exploring all new job opportunities and being a husband. The honeymoon was another important planning obligation but Cassie and I felt that at the moment too much is going on. The mutual decision was to put off the honeymoon for 1 year. Certain friends were very encouraging about this decision and that energy was wonderful to absorb.

The honeymoon, which traditionally is the groom's undertaking, was a 1 year rain delay. We had picked a nice quiet tropical location, Captiva Island, FL. A nice 7 and half hour drive from Tallahassee, :(. It had everything we were looking for beach, sun, and exclusion. The fact that we decided to post pone the honeymoon made me sad. Not the crying, loss of loved one sad but a can't provide for my family sad. Cassie and I made the decision and I had to excuse myself to the bathroom and gather myself. I knew that quitting my job was detrimental to my business success but I did not realize the consequence to my family life. I told myself to take 5 mins to collect my thoughts and gather myself. I vowed to push forward and reward my family with my future success. The feeling of failure to provide was just burned into my brain. I told myself I will be determined to never let anything stand in my way to provide for my family again.

Perspectively this change in my work life has boosted my other roles and I am happy to push forward. 45 days Till I say I Do!
