Well tomorrow marks and another year and if I’m not mistaken some time around in the early morning I will have been ‘out’ and breathing for 28 years. As I’ve aged I’ve realized that each birthday brings opportunity to reflect on the years past and this year would be no different.
This past year was full of changes for Shannon (tux) and I. We’ve moved from our home in Indiana, to the house I grew up in on McBrady St. and then to our current home with the Pembertons. We changed jobs, titles, drivers licenses, grocery stores and I’m fairly sure I have a different type of shampoo now as well. As I start another year (and 28 feels old) I’ve created my ten most memorable events of 27 and my looking forward to 28 lists.
10 Most Memorable “Events” of 27 (not in order)
- Move from Indiana to Port Huron
- 3 Years Married to my wonderful wife
- Bashar Nutriments Party at Motor City Casino Hotel
- Detroit Free Press Relay Marathon
- 3 Home Run’s in Softball (& Softball Champions)
- Moving in with the Pemberton’s
- Port Huron Float Down 2008
- Introduction and Induction to the Stock Market
- iPod Touch (for m wife and I, these are still amazing)
- Thanksgiving in Florida
Looking forward to 28
- Paying off credit card debt (this should happen mid-28ish)
- Watching our church grow in all God’s called us to be
- Growing family (?)
- Growing in my experience and skill set as Creative Director
- 4 years with my wife!!
- Additional blog posts : )
Its amazing to me that even as I post I’m realizing how unsure I am about what year 27 has been and what year 28 will be. I have some searching to do. I feel that I am for the first time home, and my heart knows that as I process out who I am and what my heart is after, that its safe. This is important to note.
In 28 minutes I’ll know what 28 is really like. Here is to 28.
