2010 - A Review

Where to start? I guess the beginning is the logical place but so much happened that the beginning hardly sounds like a good jumping on point. Let's just hit the high points this round:

- I started playing music again
- I did a thirty day fast
- Auggie Stardust was born
- I started a new job
- I went an entire year without drinking alcohol
- I met the most beautiful and wonderful woman in the world

All this and soooooo much more. It's hard to believe that 2010 is almost over but it was a wonderful year!! Can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for me...

It's Been A While...

Not having an internet connection at the house has really limited by availability to post more of these but I am here today for a brief update. Things have been a little hectic in my world as of late. With a wedding to plan (so excited), Christmas looming (not so excited) and work being at maximum velocity (Christmas strikes again) I just have not had time to breathe let alone blog. But through all of this craziness I have something new in my life that I didn't realize I would love so much.

Sylvia has a daughter named Emily. She is five years old and I am in love. I knew from the beginning that she had a daughter and this is new territory for me. In the past I have shied away from women with children for various reasons. But the more time I spend with both Sylvia and Emily I find myself wanting to spend more time with them both. Last week I got the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Emmy and when she was gone I felt a little empty inside. On top of this my parents are absolutely in love with her. Especially my mom. I can tell I'm really going to have to reign them in so they don't spoil her too much.

And the same goes for me. Every day I find myself thinking about things to get her. Going to the store has become a mine field for me. I have to avoid the toy aisle all together, which cuts into my toy obsession as well. From the beginning Sylvia has been concerned about how I would handle having a child around since I've never had to deal with one day in and day out before. She's always reminding me that children are a big responsibility. And I get it, I just never thought I would fall in so deep so quickly. Christmas is gonna be fun this year!!
