Renewed

Some of you are wondering if you are at the right blog. Rest assured you are. I have taken the liberty to redesign my blog to reflect my personality a little more.I will be updating and adding some things as I go along but this should get me started. So let me know what you think I should add to my blog to make it more user friendly.

Im back

I just wanted to let  all of my readers my 1 reader know I made it home safe and sound. I have spent the past 2 days learning the ins and outs of what it takes to run a quick lube business. I was going into it with years of management experience from a previous job and limited knowledge of the lube business and I walked away with some great contacts of people who have been in the business for decades, a list of 50 things that I need to do to make my place compliant to OSHA and EPA (do not need to get on their bad side), got some great ideas to better market the business. All in all a productive 2 days.

My flight departed at 10 pm which I was excited about  because I got to see all of the lights across the Florida coast flying into Tampa( it really does not take much to hold my attention)it was breathtaking to say the least to see the outline of the coast lit up like a Christmas tree. But my favorite part of the trip was coming home and being with my wife and daughter. I hate spending time away from them. There truly is no place like home.

First time

Today for the first time in 38 years I will board an airplane and fly to Atlanta. To some of you this might not be a blog worthy subject but stick with me. I have never flown before not because it was a fear that I had but I have never needed to fly wherever I was going. My wife asked me Sunday night if I was nervous and I told her that there was really only 2 outcomes either I would remember the flight or I would not remember it either way it will be ok. I guess what I am nervous about is the unknown. What if something is wrong on take off I will never know because I have never flown before. What if I packed some liquid that was not approved and they want to do a body search(SORRY TMI). What if I have done something in my past and I am on the dreaded no fly list. Anyway pray that I do not do something while I am on the plane to make the 6 o’clock news. I will update you about the trip when I get back into town. PEACE OUT

home study

 Wanted to give everyone a quick update on the adoption process. We just got done with a two and a half hour home study. Imagine me walking into your house and having never met you I ASKED YOU TO TELL ME YOUR LIFE STORY… That was pretty much the meat of the home study. Before Jesus Christ in my life if someone would have asked me these questions I would have shoved her out the front door and told her it is none of your **** business I would have escorted her out the front door and asked her to not return. But thanks to having Him in my life I told her the good , bad, and ugly. I do not know if that was the right thing to do but at least they can not blame me if the kid does not turn out right. All kidding aside it was not that bad just really odd telling someone you have never met before your life story. Anyway we should have the report back on our home study in about 2 weeks and then it  goes to our case worker to start the matching process. It is getting to the point of no return and I am not nervous about it But this is not permission to stop praying for my family and me:):)

Thanks for your prayers and support. I will update you when as we move through the process.

it is getting closer

To the avid readers of this blog you might remember a previous blog that I mentioned about Tammy and I were taking adoption classes, well I am proud to announce I am officially certified by the state of Florida to be an adoptive parent. I can tell you there standards were not that high so do not think I am that smart. The next step for the McCue family is the home study. I am not sure of what a home study consists of but I could probably save them the trip and tell them about my house since I live here more than they have.(maybe I am smarter than they are) I can tell you Tammy and I are excited about the prospect of having another child to raise but I would be lying if I did not say I am scared of how it will mess with the dynamics of the family, what if he/she does not like us what if we are unable to help the child adjust etc.. I am not sure what the days ahead hold but I am sure it is in Gods hands who Tammy Taylor and I end up with but I also know God answers the prayers of his people. So what I am asking is if you  would pray for us as we go through the process and pray for God to place a child with us that he wants us to have .
