Time for the new post you have been waiting for.  Honestly I (Haydn) feel great.  Why you might ask?  I gave up seminary.  Man I don't know how people do it, particularly a Man with 2 kids under 2 1/2, A full time job as a teacher (in my second year of teaching), 1 Uni paper and the list goes on.

Now I think more importantly than stating the facts is why I quit.  The story goes something like this...  I was in the temple helping a mate for the first time.  It was great to be apart of and while I was in there I got the impression 'You need to give up seminary, or you will loose your family!'  I initial thought was 'nah just get a guy to cover the odd day and i'll be sweet'.  The weekend after the temple was a good example on why I should of listen right away because right infront of my eyes were experiences that made me realise that I was slowly loosing them.

Once this realisation was brought to my attention the email was sent to quit seminary.  Yet again I am grateful for the revelations received.  So this week I have made the effort to be a better father and husband.  I taught Jessie some rock and roll dance moves, I took Gracie out today to the mall and had a great time with her, and Joshie heck how can ya not love that kid?!

Moral of the story, never give up on ya family or let anything come in and flood your time away from them.  Its hard to do but their happiness should come before yours.  I love them heaps and think its about time they get the best of me.
