Reflections and Resolutions

Birthdays have often been a time for me to reflect on the past and think about the future, and this year has I’ve had much to think about. Just last night, I was feeling kinda bummed and lonely… and as I write this, there are over 60 posts on my Facebook wall wishing me a Happy Birthday… Thanks everyone!

This past year has seen change and growth in my life.  In June I passed the tests to become an Apple Certified Macintosh Technician… and in May I bought a Macbook… which I love!  The company I work for is growing despite the economy, and I think this next year be even better as we continue to grow.

Shoreline Church is growing… and I’m really looking forward to the music we are planning for the Christmas season this year.  If all goes according to plan, I’ll get to put together a small group for an ac cappella song or 2!!!

Just this week I realized that I’ve been referring to Destin as home lately.  I think the thought of “when Mom and Dad come home for Christmas…” really drove it home for me, since they’re coming to Destin for the holidays.  I moved here 5 years ago this past week… and I think it’s sinking in that I’ll probably be here a while… and I’m OK with that.

Speaking of Mom and Dad coming to visit… they’re not coming to see me, my sister, or my brother in law… they’re coming to see Sara!

My niece Sara was born on March 21st this year.  I’m soooo thankful that I live so close and can be there while she is growing up!!!

Isn’t she the cutest baby you’ve ever seen?

Amanda, Randy, and I made the teddy bear in the pictures when she was a week old at Build A Bear.  As you can see, Sara’s grown quite a bit over the past few months.

As for the coming year, I see some big things on the horizon… but I can’t really talk about everything yet so you’ll just have to wait.  I DO, however, plan to resume regular updates to the blog… so rest assured that you won’t be left out when these exciting developments unfurl.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
