Job update and random thoughts

Hey gang, so I wanted to update you on the job stuff. I just spoke with my future boss this morning and he submittted the formal offer letter for the execs to review and approve. So things are moving forward, I just need to wait and see if it all gets approved and hopefully it will. He reiterated how excited they are to have me join and appreciated my patience. So it's not a scenario that the deal would unwind, rather it's just part of the process and I just need to make sure the offer makes me feel good about everything. I also wanted to say I love my pop, he's basically called me every day for the last few days checking in to get a job status so dad if you are reading this, you will be the first to know:)

As you all know I'm a huge Seahawks fan and we got another bit of bad news earlier this week, our 3 time pro-bowl, team captain (Lofa Tatupu) was hit with a DUI last Sat so I was totally bummed but I think it will be a minor blip but still it's troubling b/c our team is known to be full of "character" guys. It's been a bit of a newsworthly offseason but most of it negative so I hope my boys get their stuff together. The oddest part about the story was he was pulled over in a Hyundia Accent - dude, you just signed a $42 million dollar contract!

I wanted to submit a picture I have of Cooper that shows him sleeping with one of his toys in his mouth but Holly has the camera so it will have to wait until the next blog. It's really cute so stay tuned.

Lastly, I wanted to give a parting shot to our president who said yesterday in honor of our fallen soldiers and their families he is going to make a huge sacrifice by...wait for it...are you still waiting...by giving up golf! Thanks George for your big sacrifice, what a guy! I'm sure that makes those families feel much better. Seriously is it January yet? On a brighter note, I hear it's going to be an awesome weather weekend so enjoy!!
