(no subject)
Well it's been a while. I'm not sure why I even post here anymore except that it is a good record for myself. I didn't make the classic year in review thing and I don't think I'm going to.
Alex is wonderful. He is one now, walking, talking, throwing temper tantrums, and really so smart. I know every parent thinks their kid is smart and I can see why. You start off with this poor helpless little blob who eats, sleeps, and poops and then you watch them turn into a PERSON. It's quite amazing. One day he'll be an adult and I am partially in charge of what he'll be like. What an awesome responsibility.
My job is going well. We have 2 totally new programs and are hiring 2 new people (if anyone needs a job, let me know). This brings me up to four different programs I'm in charge of and it's getting to be a little bit intimidating. I also signed up to start teaching classes to our entire social services department which is about 100 people. I honestly can't believe I said yes when I was asked to do it. It's one of those things that you think "oh that will be GREAT experience" and then 5 minutes later realize what you agreed to do.
Sandy and I are fine. We're going on a cruise in April (courtesy of the in-laws) in the Caribbean including Jamaica, Mexico, The Cayman Islands and Georgetown. I decided on an Western cruise instead of an Eastern one (all the Dutch islands) to try and avoid the tourist stuff. I don't want to shop I want to go to the Mayan ruins and go snorkeling. We were going to take my favorite sister in law but she changed her mind. :-P
I've been spending more and more time at Erin and Bre's house lately too which has been a refreshing change from my normal rotinue of watching poker or Back to the Future for the millonth time at home with Sandy at night. It's nice to have people that you have so much history with that you don't really run out of things to talk about. If we aren't talking about current stuff then we can just go into all the great times we've had.
That's about all I got for now.
