Simple Joys...

I've been learning lately that the simple joys in life are awesome! For example: it's a Friday night and we just enjoyed an amazing dinner outside while enjoying the great weather with an ice cold adult beverage in a frosty mug with two of our best friends. Unbeatable!

I know that it's repeated all the time, but enjoying your job makes it a lot easier to get out of bed in the morning to get after it! What I really love about being a personal trainer is the relationships that I get to build with people and using my education and experience to help them reach their goals.

Tomorrow, Team Rojas is heading to Josie's wedding. This day is going to be so great! To start things off, Jess and I are going to take the scenic route through the bluffs down to Caledonia. Gorgeous views, even more gorgeous woman! Then we get to see Josie get married! Jess and I LOVE Josie. She has been a huge blessing in our lives and we can't be happier for her! I'm sure the we'll have a lot of fun memories from our wedding too, all those two years ago. Seeing a lot of the Camp Victory staff will be pretty cool too.

As great as the above joys are, and adding a few more from the week like holding a cheetah kitten, the greatest joy this week was when a fan (or friend, whichever terminology you prefer) commented that she enjoys how much she can tell I love my wife just by spending time with us. And it's true, Jess is the greatest! The simple joys in my life that mean the most, revolve around my wife, and of course my faith. The simple things like noticing my ring as I'm typing, or feeling the bed move as she repositions in the night, or seeing her picture on my phone when she calls, make my day and remind me how blessed I am to be married to her. Now, I know that sounds all cheesy, but real men love their wives! It's in the Bible!

Third Time's the Charm!

Ok, you got me. This is in fact my third attempted blog. This one is going to go much better though, because I'm a Blackberry geek now and my life is COMPLETELY scheduled now, including blog time.

I guess if you're looking for something specific to read about, you've come to the wrong place. When I did the blog thing in the past, I had a hard time sticking to a single subject. This blog will be about my entire life! You'll get to: see me celebrate with my clients as they reach their goals, catch up on embarrassing moments of mine, stay up to date on New Life Academy Football, be privy to the life happenings of Team Rojas, and much more!

So, I guess it's time for an over all update as to where Jess and I (Team Rojas) are at in life!

In December we took a HUGE leap faith in moving back to the Twin Cities from Williston, ND. It's amazing how drained your heart and spirit can be when you're not doing what you are designed to do. The oil field was a great chance for us to pay down school loans and Williston is a wonderful place to raise a family, but not for Team Rojas.

Initially, I had a job lined up, but in the end it turned out to not be a place that I wanted to work or a company that I wanted to be a part of. Although Jessie found a job right away, it was really difficult for me not to be contributing at all to our little family's financial needs. It all worked out in the end though, as now I'm working with a couple of great places and even started my own business, which is growing slowly but surely!

The absolute best part of being back though is reconnecting with those that we built relationships with in our years at NWC. I never knew how important those people are to me until they weren't there.

So, what's ahead for Team Rojas? Well, as always Tony will be working with clients and football picks up next week with strength and agility training. Jessie is working with her two year olds, getting in much needed practice for when the Team expands. We're also on the hunt for a new church. Any ideas? It HAS TO have a Saturday night service though!
