Well, today is the very first day of 2007 and this post will last till the end of the internet and maybe till future generations when a new type of “internet” takes hold.
With that, I hope everyone had a great New Years eve and didn’t party too hard and woke up sick throwing up this morning.
Not only does this Monday signify a first day in the year but also the first day in a week long celebration of my wifes birth. Her birthday is on January 4th and she’ll be 29 this year. She’s excited on turning 30, I have no idea why, especially since she tried to find gray hairs on her head. I think she’s the only person I know of that enjoys growing old. For me, I can’t wait to be retired and then passing on to be with my eternal family and being with my wife forever.
I do have some good news though. Last Friday with a helpful suggestion from my brother-in-law John, I have a job to go to on Tuesday. Truly a blessing. 2006 was quite a year. Emotionally not a good one, but spiritually an awesome one. My wife has been with me through so much I don’t know how I’d repay her. She’s been with me through my dad going over sea’s, two of my grandmothers passing, and just recent my brother. I’ve been there for her when her last grandmother passed. I can tell you all, it’ll be hard when our parents start passing. That is something we all dread, because parents are our guiding light when our judgment is foggy. Like a beacon. One thing I can tell though, we have more angels around us more than ever looking out for us.
I can tell that 2007 will be a good year. To me all the heartache and hardships we suffered were tests by God to reaffirm our faith. I love and respect the things that come our way a lot more than I previously had and I cherish my friends more than I ever had.
Yes, 2007 will be a great year.
Our little family currently consists of Darryl, me, along with our pups Lucas & Lily. We've been together for 14 years now, and we love every minute of it. I enjoy all types of crafty things such as knitting, crocheting, photography, sewing, and making cards. Darryl enjoys gaming (both PC and PS3), playing guitar, cooking, and just veggin out. Lucas and Lily just love to sleep, eat, and pets.
Happy Early birthday Maggie! And grats on the new job D!
