Another Year in the Books...



Wow...Looking back....2015 was great....Instead of making some long essay about it, I figured I would just list the top ten things that I will always remember about the year.

No particular order.

1.  I seen my Buckeyes win ANOTHER National Championship.
2.  My Cavs went back to the NBA Finals.
3.  My daughter Alissa was born.
4.  I got a new car of the same year.
5.  Three of my closest friends also had kids this year
6.  Gas prices got as low as $1.59 per gal.
7.  I asked for a $9000 increase in pay at work....and I actually got it.
8.  Took the hardest college course I have ever taken.
9.  I surpassed 10 years of marriage.
10. My Mom and Dad moved out of my childhood home.

Overall, this year has been very productive.  I'm definitely looking forward to 2016 though.  Why? Because then I could say, "I graduate with my Master's this year". My wife should also be receiving her Master's this upcoming year.

Life is full of ups and downs...no matter how good things get, or how hard life become...I gotta remember how blessed I am to be alive and enjoy this journey God has allowed me to go on....2016 is about continuing to find my purpose...

So long 2014...

It has been a long year. I'm blessed to have God continue to allow me to do things that I never thought I would have the courage to do. From quitting a job I was at for 7 years, to finally getting my bachelor degree, it has been a year full of faith and lessons. I even got accepted to Graduate school and seen gas drop back down to $1.79 a gallon. (Woohoo) This year I turned 34, and finally figured out who I wanted to be when I grew up. I also found out that I will be a father to another baby girl. I feel like this year has been a productive one. I feel that the older I get, the more I put life in perspective. In 2015, I want to continue on this path of finding myself. No true resolutions this year. I don't need them at this point in my life. I know what I need to do. I know in order for me to be the best person I can be for my family, I have to remember what I conquered and believe in my abilities. Because when you do, you extract the extraordinary that dwells deep down inside of each of us. So, stay true to what your heart needs and replenish happiness with each breath, every single day. Here's hoping that 2015 brings out the best in you, so that you could pay it forward. Happy New Year!!!

Another year gone...

Well! 2013 has come and gone... And on the brink of 2014, I can't help but think about what I accomplished this year.  I got a house! Even after all these months, I'm still in shock...I feel so fortunate to be able to lay a foundation for my daughter and provide a place for her to grow up. Hmm let me see what else... Once the clock strikes 12 on December 31st, I can finally say that I graduate this year. :) I'm ready to get my bachelor's degree and move forward to the next step, which is getting my Masters degree. I think this year I established a clearer vision on who I want to become and where I want to go. Life has slowed down for me... But only to take time and cherish the ones I love. I got another year older... And my tolerance for nonsense went down a little lower... Good for me...But bad for people who have yet to understand that. I'm looking forward to next year though... I'm not afraid of the unknown... Not Anymore.
