Happy New Year!
I’m looking forward to a brighter, more productive year in 2007. I’m getting better at the job every day, and soon I’ll make my 1-year anniversary. Boy, that sure feels good!
Heather is in Ireland right now. A friend of hers invited her to spend time with him while on vacation. He just got done with 2 tours in Iraq, and is taking a long (and probably much-needed!) break. So they bought another air ticket, and off she went. Well, it was a bit more in the planning of things… Anyway — She’s gone. Brian is off in Platteville celebrating the holidays with his buddies. I bet he’s having a great time. So he’s gone too. S’ok though. I am totally enjoying the quiet time; cleaning my apartment room-by-room.Â
So another year has gone by. And I’m still blogging. I remember my first “online journal” was a simple guest book script. Don’t know if blogging was a term being used back then. This time last year, I was packing up last minute items, watching the students party in their yards outside, feeling all jittery and nervous about this new life I was about to step into. I was alone then too. Weird though, because this year is the first time in a long time that I do not feel apprehensive about the future. I think I took the right steps, and am in a good place now.
This is a For Better or For Worse comic strip (12/31/06) which I think is perfect to end this post, and wish everyone a great 2007.
So, Happy New Year to ALL!Â
