Well yesterday morning it was hard for me to get up and start my day. Lani was a bed hog, so I got up and went to the couch around four in the morning. Our cat tried to cuddle with me, which she never has done...Ever!!! Lani left for work, then the phone rings and I thought “Why are you calling me, you know I am trying to sleep?” I answer the phone and it was a lady’s voice asking “Is Mark there?”, very friendly as if she knew me. I said “yes, speaking.” Then her voice changed as she identified herself as a Federal Agent. We talked about a few things, and then she informed me of where I was being stationed...San Clemente, California! I report on February 16th and report to the Academy in New Mexico on Feb. 19th until July. I am so excited about where we will be and that it this is finally starting! It is going to be very hard not being able to be with my wonderful wife. She is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. I hope that the five months will go by fast. I am very thankful to so many of you for helping me get to where I am with my conditioning. Fire-house fitness, you guys rock!!! The kettle bell class kicks my butt every time. I have seen great improvements in my weight loss, strength and even in my cardio. I owe you all so much, thank you!!! Due to this career and what is involved with it we are going to be setting this blog to private. I’m not sure on how to do that yet so I could definitely use some help. We love you all and thank you for keeping us in your prayers. Mark
