I love attending church and gaining spiritual growth, spending time with family, coaching, fishing
In attending church I love the fellowship, learning from others, and motivation to know not to give up on things happening in my life. Spending time with family allows me to catch up on the things happening in their life. Seeing their physical, mental and emotional growth. I have coached soccer, and baseball with my son's team. I enjoyed watching the growth in their abilities from the beginning to end. It gave me a sense of accomplishment and overwhelming feeling to see their face when they accomplished their goals. I fish with my kids and love the excitement and memories that we make together.
