Well, there it goes, another year. I am now 33, which is a palindrome, so what’s not to love about it?! On the flip side, I found it to be interesting. A lot of the younger people I work with say “wow, you’re old!” But the older people (40-50ish) say “you’re just a young lad/pup/kid etc” So which one is it? Who knows, it’s like age purgatory. Just stuck in the middle. Good thing I don’t have a mid-life crisis yet, that would be really bad. We’re looking forward to this year, we have quite a few big decisions to make, our kids are growing, with our oldest rocking out some pre-school stuff. We are going to try to do some home-schooling with him we’ll see how that goes. My baby sister goes off to basic training for the army, i’m pretty excited about that one. I’m hoping she can be done with everything before I get out, as we’re in the same unit, it would be pretty awesome to actually serve with her, even if it is only for a short time.
The new year has also started for the college. We had really good momentum at the end of the school year last year, and so we’re trying to get some of that back. Some positive things are happening though, there’s a community day. Community businesses and student organizations all have a table in the main building and we were asked if we wanted one, for sure! So we have that this week…ahhhhh…Yea just remembered it was this week, holy cow that came fast. It’s always an interesting challenge only being able to do this one day a week.
We actually get to go home and see my family! Wow, it’s been a while. It’s always a challenge and an adventure, kind of like a choose your own adventure book, make one decision about housing, or time and it changes everything. But it’s going to be great, our nephew has a bday at the end of Feb, we have a few bday’s in March and my sister leaves for basic, so it’s a big period of time for us. It should be a good time.
Until then, off to make some more latte’s and serve all the people of Gillette.
