2011.... This year has really been a challenge. I had to transfer out of my home town in April, though that wasn't really a bad thing aside from the fact I wasn't sure I would have a job at all or where I would be going until the last minute, not to mention some great people lost their jobs. With that transfer I had to be separated from my wife and kids for three months, with an all too short visit thrown in here and there. That is definitely something I would not do again given a choice.
After getting geared up for a vacation, having to tell the kids we were moving instead was not the greatest day either. My sons amaze me, they are so strong and loving that they were almost comforting us more than we were them about the whole thing. My eldest was just finishing up his first year of school and had to say good bye to his new friends which was tough to do, but again he is such a strong kid and takes it in stride.
SO...this whole blog thing is to recap the highs and lows of last year, vent and gripe about it, praise God and my friends and family for helping us through it and really just putting it on "paper" and out of my head, before it explodes. I am not very literate, grammatically correct, nor plan to become such. That is fair warning for all the mistakes you will find while reading...should anyone actually read this thing...
