First Post!

So here it goes! Derek here, and this is my/our first post! July 22nd, 2008 already, it feels like time is flying by. Sarah and I have been married over 2 years now, and she just turned 22! We can't wait for the summer to be over so that school can start back up for her. The sooner it starts, the sooner we can move! The sooner we move, the sooner I get to start the career that I love and can't wait to enjoy. The sooner I start my career, the sooner we can have a baby!

Sarah and I are experiencing an insatiable fever for having a baby. It seems like everyone we know that's married (or not) is having a kid. But we both want to be steady and ready. We're both ready, but we're just not steady. Job's aren't steady, shoot, they don't even exist right now.

I'm searching for a job right now in Searcy, and it's really difficult trying to find a job that I want, and will enjoy. I know that's not the key, but for me, if I don't love what I'm doing, it's really hard to go to work. I'm sure it's that way for a lot of people. I know that when I start my career in Broadcasting, I'm going to look forward to getting up everyday and heading in to work, where nothing is predictable, and everyday is a new adventure. It just seems like if the superficial jobs between now and then are lame, and I hate them, it's just seems like a waste. But I know that right now, our future is the focus, and to achieve that future in Ohio, we need money, so I'm going to do whatever I need to do to get that money, and get us there!

I'll end this post with this. Keep us in your prayers. My prayer is this: May an opportunity present itself to me that will make the stress of money and the fear of failure disappear. And that no matter what happens in life, that we continue to put God first, and ourselves last!

In HIM,

Derek Drake
