Back on Point

Hey all!

First and foremost let me take this opportunity to apologize for not updating the blog in two months.  It has taken a while to get used to my new travel schedule and keep up communication on the blog.  Finding the balance between my everyday commitments, family and responsibilities as WLAC has been challenging.  Luckily I have a supporting wife who has helped me to keep organized and stay on track.

Now that everything is in order and I have adapted to my new schedule I will be back in business on the blog.  To kick things off I will give you an overview of where I have been so far.  Right out of the gate I started traveling and it hasn’t really slowed down since.  I started my blog writing with documenting my ‘firsts’ while on the road.  I have since added many to my list and will not have a chance to mention all of them in this post-I will save that for later.

Below is a list to catch you up on my travels.  I have made a few mentions, but I cannot express my gratitude enough to everyone I met and for the generosity and hospitality I have experienced on the road.  I am blessed to be able to meet and work for such amazing people!
