Glasses


So, today I went and picked up my glasses. I'm slightly farsighted and I have a minor astigmatism to boot, so 10-15 hours of work a day in front of a bunch of big computer screens makes for a headache or two, and that leads to trouble staying focused which leads to even longer days
(it's a vicious cycle, I know :) ).

Anyway, I just threw this picture up from my webcam while I was working on my laptop, so you'll have to forgive the lousy image.

I've been working a lot getting ready for NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) Convention and it'll be interesting this year as I'm in a little bit different position than I have been before, and there are probably greater expectations on me than in the past (ya, I'm sure I'll keep them happy, but lately it's been a little tough because everybody is stressed out and deadlines are quickly approaching).

Gayle is at 10 weeks now and after having taking very nearly a month off from work for morning sickness we think that the pills she's taking now are making things good enough to get back to work which has me much less stressed since while she wasn't working we had about $900-$1100 of money that wasn't coming in and things are getting pretty tight, but God will provide he always does, whether he makes gayle well enough to work or gives me more, I know know he will take care of us :).

Well, I'm going to go back to editing, hope you all have a blessed (insert amount of time here until I post again), and hope you're doing well.

God Bless

BABY PICTURE!!!

Alright for the first time, I've just gotten to see my baby :) . He or she is about the size of a large peanut and probably barely discernible even with my (make it as easy as I can for everyone enhancements) on the picture. It strikes me funny that many peoples very first picture of their child is very similar to many kids drawings (only a parent can tell what it is). The doc said that we were there early (just shy of 9 weeks), but we were still able to see the baby ( and I even saw a little flutter of the heartbeat ). Gayle said I was smiling pretty big, but all I know is that's my baby in there, and I'm excited. On Thursday I was at the church helping them to prepare for some special Easter activities and there were a bunch of people that I knew there (and I had just come from the ultrasound appointment that morning and had the baby picture on my phone) so I had to show him/her to everyone :). Man, Easter is fast approaching and I feel very busy lately, not to mention that the NAB (National Association of Broadcasting) convention is coming in a few weeks ( middle of April ) and that means that I've gotta get my taxes done :). I thank God for my last year of work, it looks like I had the best income so far since my business started and I'm sure that's in no small part thanks to the big renewable contract with the company I do work with in Utah. Fortunately I buy lots of things for my business :), so I'm able to reduce my income and make taxes a little more bearable. I'm also no running a constant deal at the church for 8 hours a week for the next few months (so that I don't have to keep turning in hours for every little project I do). We'll see if that's an accurate average of my weekly hours or not.

Suddenly I'm getting tired ( it's a wonder I haven't been until now) but I figure you gotta jump on the opportunity when you get it.

Until next time :)
