Re-evaluation Part II
I spent New Year's Eve with two close friends from High School. Michelle made us all dinner and then we watched a movie before her fiances' obnoxious friends came over and then I decided to leave, only of course after watching the ball drop. I decided, hoping that my brother would be around New Year's Day to hang out a bit, to head down to my parents house. I got there around 12:45 and Ralph was home, in his room watching the first season of Arrested Development on DVD. Ended up staying up talking to him for a while and went to bed thinking that 2008 was going to be a good year for us both. Hey, it sure as hell can't get any worse; it can only get better from here.
Thank God 2007 is over. I had some really great times and of course there were terrible times, when I felt like giving up completely. There were several deaths of family and friends: my friend Katherine Olson, my uncle Jim (mom and I called him Jim-Bob behind his back. He was kind of an asshole), a fellow high school graduate Nick Zidalhack, and all in a short period of time. The month of October was very rough.
Great times were had throughout the year. I graduated from Luther Seminary at the end of May with my Master's degree in Christian History. I made some wonderful lifelong friendships and continued to grow in my relationships with long-time friends and with my family members. Many a day was spent at the lake sunbathing and swimming. Many a days were spent traversing all over Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Both good times and bad. But that's life, it's full of the good, the bad, and the ugly. I made it through another year, we all did and we should be thankful for that. Now bring on 2008, because seriously it can only get better from here!!!
