So I decided to follow a friend of mine's blog on here, so I signed in, and decided to check my blog. I realized that I have not said anything about what has been going on for almost and ENTIRE year. Can you believe it, 2009 is almost over.
So this year, thus far, in review.
The wife gave birth to a wonderful, healthy baby boy on April 3rd at 5:55pm after 14 hours of labor. He is gorgeous. That is ok to say about my son right? Have to be politically correct now that there is an "Africa American" in the WHITE House. Anyway, he is now 5 months old, and a joy to be around. He has brought laughter, and happiness into a house that needed it. Granted that there are still issues. Like the fact that I am no longer in school, we've been struggling finincially ever since I got the money from the school. Somehow the company found out, audited my tuition assistance program, found ONE payment where the school backed off an old grant payment, and applied it to a payment that the company was to make. Thus, resulting in me being put on probation, having to pay not only the company back, but also the school (since I had to drop out). Then we have the car repo'd, almost get evicted from our apartment (with my parents being landlords), drain my 401K to pay said landlords, and a lot more.
So far this year, we have had the deaths of numerous celebrities including Patrick Swayze, Michael Jackson, Ted Kennedy, and others. We have seen the true colors of Kayne West, and him being an arrogant, pompous idiot at the MTV MVA show, interupting a female winner to whine that some other person should have won. In essence he showed that there racism is still alive and kicking. Specially from blacks to whites.
We've seen how in under a years time, a president can take a bad situation, and make it worse. Try to turn this nation of freedom into a nation of Socialism.
So all in all, there have been a lot of new, and interesting, things happen so far this year.
Things I get to look forward to are my son's first halloween where he will go as one of a few options, including a bumble bee, a hershey's kiss, and others. His first thanksgiving, where he will not be able to eat anything since his teeth aren't in yet. His first Christmas, where his mother plans to dress him in a Santa's Little Helpers outfit, and take tons of pictures. His first New Year's, where he will hopefully spend it asleep, and just think that it's another day.
Oh, there is one other thing that I get to look forward to in the upcoming months, or year, the possiblity of moving out of the USA to Australia. Why would I do that? Well, two reasons. One, I have ALWAYS wanted to go there, and two, I have a potentially AWESOME job lined up there. I am just waiting to hear about the job, and then a dream of mine can come true!!!
