Consider yourself lucky. Secondly, if you really want to do this, and it sounds as if you do, there is NOTHING that will stop you. Take it from someone who knows, follow your dreams while you're young, because it just gets harder the older you get. Sounds as if you have complete support from family and friends. Fast and Pray (especially with your wife) and the world is yours. (Advice I should use more). Good luck, even though luck has nothing to do with it.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079211283958108646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791916208599294166.post-12285481965188575552007-08-16T10:15:00.000-07:002007-08-16T10:15:00.000-07:00Thanks gang, I really appreciate all your kind wor...Thanks gang, I really appreciate all your kind words. I really need that now and then. However, my main stumbling block right now is taking my people skills and trying to convert them into marketable job skills. No one wants to hire the guy who can sit at the water cooler and talk to people all day long and feel like it was a fulfilling day. Right now I am really considering going back to school to get a degree in Urban Horticulture and Landscape Design. I want to design micro-farms to help people be more self sustaining, or at least show people that their landscaping can actually produce things they can use. I mean, in AZ, how many people have aloe plants in their yard, but still buy aloe at the store when they get a sunburn. That is so retarded. My main problem right now is figuring out how to pay my bills for the next three years while I get two degrees at once. I'm open to suggestions, but Natalie already ruled out selling drugs and selling my body.Tomallamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14810802121455043851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791916208599294166.post-68160657798245806252007-08-15T20:43:00.000-07:002007-08-15T20:43:00.000-07:00Sorry Mer, I just had to throw that out there.

( Although I can't help being a little hurt at the fave appt. neighbors. ;0)<BR/>You are such an incredible force. People just gravitate toward you. I am always impressed w/ what a great husband and father you are to your little adorable family.<BR/><BR/>Tom we all love you and have always known that you can accomplish whatever you are determined to do. Don't let your fears get in the way (1 John 4:18). You have a wonderful wife, who will support you in anything you choose, righteously.<BR/><BR/>Ok, this is too long for a comment, but just so you know. I second Merilee.ducklipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492680270812206857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791916208599294166.post-5844011802959536302007-08-15T09:40:00.000-07:002007-08-15T09:40:00.000-07:00I have absolutely no idea what this is all about b...I have absolutely no idea what this is all about but it made me tear up.
