A very long update

I know it has been forever since I posted a blog, so here's the latest…

The divorce has been final for a while now and we are both moving on. I'm doing well, it still hurts from time to time, but that will all heal with time. I would like to thank all of you that have helped me through these trying times. Your support, friendship, thoughts and prayers have made this all bearable.

On a lighter note, I've been in contact with the AF Boxing coach and he wants me to come down and help out with the AF Championships. I'll be working in the corners and possibly boxing one of the nights. I'm really excited, but out of shape. The box-offs are the 18-19 of Jan so I have 2 and a half weeks to get back in shape and ready to go. I haven't boxed since the beginning of October so I have a lot of ring rust to shake off. My boxing career is still in limbo, as I'm weighing my desire to box with my hope for a productive AF career. Unfortunately, right now they seem mutually exclusive, but I'm hoping I can indulge my desire to box, while not jeopardizing my career. I know that seems like a common thread through most of my blogs, but unfortunately, I still haven't found the proper balance.

Finally, I wanted to talk about Christmas. This was probably one of the best holidays I've had in the recent past. My parents came up with my sister Sylvia and her kids Jasmine and Thomas. It was a great time spent with family and friends! Christmas Day, Sylvia and I cooked a huge dinner; I still have turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes and yams in my refrigerator. Not only did we have family, but some boxers from the base team and some of my close friends were able to make it and just help make the dinner a great experience. I would like to thank all of you who were able to make it for helping this to be a great Christmas!

To everyone who took time to read this, thank you, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I know God has a plan for my life, I just don't know what it is yet and I need to rely on him for strength and guidance.
