Happy Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for this year. A gorgeous, supportive wife and 3 amazing children. To all who read this I say much Mahalo for being a part of my life.

Catch of the day

My brother and law and I headed out with our Hawaiian spears and we shot 9 fish off of Waikiki beach! They were fast and it was a little tougher than I thought it would be but we got better at it as we kept trying. We grilled them up with butter, lemon and garlic salt for a nice snack. We're going to try and catch some bigger ones tomorrow.

Feeling Groovy

I had a great meeting today with a couple of investors. Any meeting that starts with an Ahi salad is destined for greatness. It's not everyday that you meet intelligent businessmen that are down to earth and easy to talk to. These guys are the real deal. After meetings like this you're motivated to aspire to greatness.

Busy Week

This is going to be a crazy week. I have 4 deals in escrow, 3 purchases and one sale. I am putting together the funding for 2 of the purchases to close them cash, trying to get the financing in place for the other two deals, getting ready to go to Hawaii on Saturday, meeting with a possible Trust Deed investor, meeting with a potential buyer, etc. It should be a busy but productive week.
Recently I have been thinking about how much life is like one big game. There are players, levels, opponents, strategies, tricks, cheaters, evil villains, power ups, etc. I haven't found any extra lives yet, but I'm just playing hard with the one I have. I am simultaneously reading about 4 books right now. I don't normally do that, but each one is so jam packed with awesome information. It's like stumbling on the cheat book for a video game. There are so many invaluable resources available to improve our skill set for the game that we are all playing. Enough ranting, but I'm sure I'll return to this concept in a later post.

Fun Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun. Andy was Peter Pan and Ashlyn was Tinker Bell. Taylor was a Pretty Princess.
The picture of all the kids is funny since it they are the kids of 4 couples and all within three years. Our little get-togethers are a bit hectic. There are 8 now, and one coming next month. Awesome.

That's one good looking Mom.

We went over to the Church for Trunk or Treat and had a good time. I guess this first picture may need some explaining. My brother in law Russ was down from Utah and didn't have a costume. He went up to our extra closet and found the plastic bag suit from my mission in South Africa, then cut a pumpkin and put it on his head. I was Clark Kent... not as jazzy.
