That time of year again...

So I sit here at my desk on the eve of that one day that you grow older. I am thinking back to what a wonderful year that I have had and can't wait to start the new one. Well I can't wait to start it as long as I don't need to keep increasing that ever so important number.

It has been awhile since I have posted...I know it has, but I have been busy pretty much every minute since then. The past few weeks have been so enjoyable, yet quite busy.

Lets see. First there was going to see Dirty Dancing the Musical with the girl of my dreams, followed by a family reunion in St. Louis, then two J.R. Richard (the lead singer of Dishwalla and my new pee buddy) concerts and this weekend I am attending a wedding, then finally a trip to Vegas.

Sounds a little busy, huh? Well everything has been enjoyable as I mentioned. I have definitely grown closer with my girlfriend. I am happy and can't wait to see what the future has in store. There have been some really good laughs over the past weeks, but I know that we have gotten that much closer. She really makes me happy and I can't wait to see her beautiful smile again.

So work has been pretty much the same. I have been a little stressed but that is okay. I actually got pretty frustrated the other day (well technically it was night, 10:30 pm is night, right?) and wanted to walk away, but I thought about it and decided that I could use it for my benefit. I actually stepped up into another role to help out, since my frustration guided me and made me think of all possible outcomes. So now with everything else that I am working on I am now officially managing another team. Which has already been great. I say great since I have been getting compliments over what I have already done. Hopefully things will work out...

Other than that I really don't have much to report. The next time you guys hear from me I will be another year older...
