Living the Hobby Life

Life needs to be lived, not just gone through.  One of the best ways to live life is to find hobbies that you can enjoy and share with others.  I actually have a few.  Bringing home the bacon often gets in the way, but I still find cracks of time to enjoy and live life.

First, I love trailerling.  I would say camping, but I got tired of waking up with sore backs and tons of dirty dishes.  So we bought a travel trailer (which I said I would never own) and have had great family adventures.  Last year we went on a 17-day, 10-state, 4000-mile adventure.  We visited Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Bryce Canyon, and Zions Canyon.  We also visited a small fossil pit in Nebraska and just had an amazing time together.  We recently went camping only 90-minutes away.  Great, great fun.

Second, I love coaching my boys in soccer.  I have coached my one son since he was 3 1/2 and now he is 14.  It has been great fun sharing that with him.  A few years ago one of my younger sons joined the team.  He is 11.  Eventhough he is smaller than everyone else, he is a go getter.  I really try to teach kids life lessons beyond soccer and that really is one of my passions.  Our mantra: "Strength, Courage, and Devotion".

I also love writing, althought don't nearly have the time I would like to for that.  The other night I was reading some of my older stuff and it brought back wonderful memories.  I have written poems, columns, short-stories, plays, and sermons.  I have a dream of writing children's books some day.  Hopefully that won't be too distant in the future.

Finally, I just love spending time with my family.  We have a large family, six kids, and just enjoy watching TV, going swimming, going to the movies, eating out, etc.

So now you know a little about me.  If you like, share some info about you in the comments.  Always enjoy finding out little tid-bits about others.
