Slipstick that is exactly it! I originally had it all looping and then realized I could move it to setup instead. And Dougp, I didn't even think about that. 
However, after your advice and spending a day at work thinking on it, I realized it might just be the type of switch I have versus the way I needed to code it. I got a different switch from a friend and wired everything up and low and behold it works now!
So thank you for your time and willingness to help. Sometimes just thinking/talking/writing things out reveals that it was the simplest solution all along!!
