The Winds of Change

Well, sorry for such a long pause since my last blog. November has had its share of interesting events. Since my last post, the weather has taken a turn for the COLD!! This Thanksgiving weekend we had mid 30's for the high temp. Yesterday we saw a mostly cloudy day but today brought a day of rain, and now the cold winds have started blowing again. I think we are expecting mid 40's for most of the week.

The Greatest Place on Earth!

Bass Pro Shops of Clarksville, IN has offically opened its doors for business, and you better believe it has gotten my business! Courtney and I took a sunday stroll through the GIANORMOUS 2-story outdoor heaven that includes a Tracker Dealership, Theater, archery range, indoor driving range, 18-hole putt-putt, Resturant, Starbucks, and a stream that runs from one end of the store to the other! I have no more words to describe this magnificent landmark.


The next most recent event has been a farewell to the car washing and retrieval position I held at Lexus of Louisville. To make a long story short: Managment does not communicate well and therefore my benefits were screwed up, meaning I would have to wait until Feb to have benefits. This was not going to work for me, so I decided to pursue something that could offer me better pay, and a better benefits package for my family. I know that I will now have to work full-time to achieve these goals, but I have decided that family comes first, and school will get done at a little slower pace than expected. God has already provided some opportunities and interviews, so this process should go quickly.

Courtney is officially ready to pop. She can't get much bigger. Little Acevedo has dropped, in my opinion, and we should have an arrival in the next 10 days. But i'm no doctor, so who knows. Thank you all for your prayers this far in her pregnancy, and continue to pray please for a short, safe delivery.

Along with the winds of change will be a retirement of "The Great Move" as the current blog. With such a big change in our family, I will be starting a new title on the Acevedo blogspot, so be on the lookout for that in the coming weeks.

I miss 72 degree weather and all the friends and family that have gone with Thanksgiving the past 18 years. Kyle, I hope you still had band thanksgiving. Momma, I really can't wait for some rice and beans when you get here! JP, (read with a Strongbad voice) I tink you need to come visit me, and uhhh, u should bring da wife and da kid too! Dat would be suhweeet!

Keep on keeping on

Well, we are drawing close to the time warp I will refer to as the rest of November and December. There are only 2 weeks of classes left in this first semester here at Seminary. Thanksgiving is approaching, which means vegging out in Georgetown next to the furnace in the Mud Room. Can't wait for that!!! And not to soon around the corner is going to be the birth of my son. God has granted me some peace about the whole labor and delivery process. I have finally met Courtney's doctor, and she is very nice. That and a pleasant hospital tour have probably contributed to feeling more comfortable about the whole thing.

I have been able to do some work on the Ole K5. Got the rear springs in, and added the remote starter solenoid. That will allow me to start the truck after its warmed up, which it didnt want to do previously. Next I plan on rewelding the rear spring perches (with the help of a tech at my job who can weld) and replacing the driver front outer axleshaft. Once that stuff is completed, Project K5 should be ready for an inagural run to the trail. I am hoping to get that in before little Acevedo gets here. Oh, and hoping to have that all ready for when Chad decides to come visit!

More blogging to come soon!
