Journal of today’s activities:

I enjoyed running through Petaluma again today. This community has been home to Carole and me for the past 21 months. We really love it here. Although we own our home in Petaluma, we’re expecting that my work will require us to spend most of our time in Newport Beach. Newport Beach is another great community, but it’s another community that we’ll need to get used to living in. The reality is, both communities are magnificent. And Newport Beach has the advantage of being closer to my mother, my grandmother, and Carole’s sister. We’ll enjoy sharing a few meals each month with family. Fitness will always be important to me. So when we’re in Newport, I’ll likely run from our home to the office. When I’m in the office I’ll work 12-hour days. On the side, I’ll continue working with Justin to spread our Straight-A Guide program and speaking to audiences. Busy times are ahead for Carole and me, but each day we thank God for the blessings we receive.
