This year may have been one of the most exhausting years of my life! My family has moved twice in 15 months. There have been house sales, countless trips, kids starting school, me finishing school (for the time being), changes at work, the list seems to go on and on. We STILL have to get our internet set up at the house. So the blog has been an infrequent "duty". But we have all persevered. Now we gear up for our taxes.
As I look back at last year, and at my life as a whole, I am reminded of something my parents would always tell me. "God never gives you more than you can handle". It may be very difficult to handle some of the things thrown at you, but you can do it. The past 18 months have been a testament to that! Packing up your family to move to a new city where you know absolutely no one, to start a new job, is putting a lot of Faith in God and in that advice. But you know, it's probably been one of the best things I've ever done.
2007 has been an interesting year, as most years should be. 2008 has a lot to live up to! But the year holds much promise and I, as a father and a husband, am looking forward to what it brings, because no matter what it is.... I know I can handle it.

I agree. You always seem to have a smile on your face...as do your wife and kids. That just tells me that you are doing it right! I am proud of you.
I like that advice your parents gave you. Happy New Year!
Thanks guys! One of these days, I'll be able to post from home instead of sneaking them in from work!! Happy New Year to you!!
