Holidays and 2008
"So excuse me for forgetting
But these things I do
You see I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is well I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen"
Been awhile since I last posted anything here, call it what you want...
Some updates from previous post,
My stepfather died June 23rd 2007... it was not pretty, not a single thing about it. Try as I might, I cannot recall his laughter.
My friend Jeff decided against moving to California, instead he went to work for my parents. So he is bar tending and serving drinks... oh yeah, and slutting around to his hearts content. I guess when your as depressed as him, you do that sort of thing.
Lot's of hiking and such over the summer... think I managed 7 14Ker's and a couple over the week trips. One of the coolest hikes I did was to a place called Bowl of Tears, on my way up to Holy Cross.
I have set a date to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Not sure who else is going to go with me on this one, I have invited a few people... they all might just think I am crazy. The date is for 2009... when I turn 40 years of age.
In the month of October, I got braces put on my teeth... so far so good. It's amazing how fast they all straightened out, even the Dr. was saying the same thing. Luckily I only have to wear them for approximately 14 months - only a year to go.
One side affect of the braces though is that it makes my teeth super sensitive, so no more running for me.
I had been running a lot up to the point where my teeth were killing me. I had dropped over 20lbs over the summer, almost 25lbs. I am down to 185 from 207... a lot of people think I look to thin now. Oh well, once I get back into running I am going to try and get down to 175, if my body does not like that... then go back to 180 and keep it there. Another good thing about all this... I have abs!
February will be vacation time - Mexico for a week. I know, nothing great, but it is a get away from the daily grind and away from the cold temps.
We will be going to Europe over the 2008 summer... not sure how long we will be taking off as of yet. Family in both Norway and Scotland, so definitely be going to both of those countries. I think this trip is going to be determined by other factors as well. More on that below.
Work has been steady and thankfully my shoulder is holding up pretty well under the abuse.
One thing that has changed since my last posting. I am going to be a father. My wife is going on 12 weeks now. It was amazing seeing the first pictures of the little thing with the big head and the little nubs that are called arms - they actually moved! We will find out the sex of the child prior going to Mexico... boy or girl... I could care less cause I am very excited about this. I am already deciding on names, but will reserve the right to post them later. if there is anyone out there that does come across this journal... feel free to toss some names out as well.
Anyhow, I know no one reads this thing, but sometimes it is good to write down thoughts and such.
I got to get going, I have a massage in about an hour and I still have laundry to do - go figure.
