Hey, today is the last day of 2007! I know, it’s pretty exciting for me too. I get to go to work! I am ending the year a little wiser (My wife would debate you on that!), a little stockier (we prefer ‘husky’), a lot more employed, and by far richer in my life because of my family.
That is not to say that I have accomplished EVERYTHING I wanted to this year. I did NOT manage to find a way to keep the books on the shelves in the basement. Almost though! Of course, you need a screwdriver and a lot of patience to get to some of the books, but the Almond can’t get them out either.
I did manage to get the garage cleaned out. Several times actually. Right now in fact, you can get ONE vehicle into the garage. Ok, two if you include the mower. It moves, so I guess it is technically a ‘vehicle’. I did not get the tree house started, maybe this coming year. I did get a path mowed out to the meadow, it will be fun to keep that clear for the kids this year. We also finally planted grass on the north side of the house.
We celebrated many birthdays, and had some sad times too, but overall, I think that 2007 has been a truly stupendous year! I really appreciated spending it with my family, and friends.
On to 2008! Hopefully 2008 will bring prosperity to you and all you know. If it does not, then I wish it to bring you the wisdom and strength to deal with all the life offers to you. Remember to look at what you have with optimism, see the forest for the trees. Enough of me trying to philosophize (and spell). For 2008 I hope to shed a few pounds, spend time with my family, and grow with our church. I wish you all the best of luck in 2008! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Hey, I thought we didn’t prefer “husky!” I thought that brought back horrid childhood memories of shopping with your mom for pants. Well, whatever you call it, I still love every bit of you.
