Here’s to wishing everyone a very happy new year in 2007!
We’d like to wish everyone a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year! Big changes are coming for our family this year, and we’re very excited for what’s in store for us. 
Happy 2006!
It started this past Friday, at night. After having dinner with my family, I was back at my parents house and started feeling a sharp pain in the right side of my mouth. The pain progressively got worse, and eventually began to give me a headache. After several minutes, though, it subsided and I felt perfectly fine.
Today is the day that Meg and I got married, 3 years ago. It seems like time has flown by since then, and it will probably only seem to go by even quicker now that we’re expecting a new member of the family in a few months. So, happy anniversary my dear, and here’s to many more wonderful years of love, happiness, excitement, and painting! (You know there will be lots of painting…)
As of today, I am officially unemployed. Without work (unless you count Meg’s honey-do list). Without a job. Luckily, though, it’s really only for one day. Tomorrow I become employed again, starting a new career with a new employer, and I’m very excited about it. This is the main reason that I haven’t been posting as much lately (pretty much the past month), and why it’s taken me so long to finish the few posts that I had left as drafts. I’m not going into any detail regarding my previous employer, but I am going to miss a lot of the great people that I’ve gotten to know over the 5 years that I worked there. I wish the company the best, and I hope they’re able to continue the growth and success they’ve seen over the past couple of years. For me, though, it’s time for something new, and I’m itching to get started.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt this horrible. I had been looking forward to this weekend for quite some time, but instead I ended up feeling about as miserable as I have in a long while. Meg and I were headed to the Williamsburg outlets on Saturday, and then to Court and Bryan’s house in Richmond for a Labor Day weekend party. While we were wandering around the insanely crowded outlets, though, I started feeling bad. As the day went on, I started to feel worse and worse. I ended up having a fever that night, and waking up at least 20 times. I was tossing and turning all night long.
This is getting ridiculous. I am filled with so much frustration, that I could easily start spewing a bunch of choice words that wouldn’t be appropriate for younger readers. The price of gasoline around here is through the roof. Worst of all, it doesn’t seem like the price is at a legitimate level. Earlier this week, gasoline was at $2.49, which is still a lot higher then it has ever been. Suddenly, within a 2 day period, gas jumped to $3.19. 70 cents!? I know that Hurricane Katrina has had a detrimental effect on the availability of oil from the southeast, but has it really been enough to cause that much of a change in the price? Or is this just another reason for gas stations to hike the price up, especially in anticipation of the extended weekend and the likely large amount of people that will be traveling? I almost wish I had a moped…
Almost.
