I'm coming up on two years since I last posted. Well, I'm back baby! Alot of changes over this time. Everything old is new again. I was actually listening to "Good Life" earlier today, and that was ironically my last post. My life seems to be going at warp speed in 2013. I promise last week was January and I was in Las Vegas. But alas, we are nearing the half way point of this year. Do you ever catch yourself thinking that a year like 2002 was just a couple of years ago? So strange. I feel like I just graduated from Baylor, yet next February would be 10 years at IBM and almost 6 in Tulsa. I've been thinking alot on where I am in life personally and will share that soon.
I guess I'll share some significant things that have happened in the past 1.75ish years....
-both my mom's mom and dad (Granny and Papa) passed away. I actually missed Papa's funeral because I was on a cruise ship.
-Marriages. Several of my friends were married. Jay, Suzanne Winnie, John and Krista Holland, Sarah, Chet. My sister was engaged but her fiance broke it off. I think she is happier looking back now and has recovered remarkably well.
- Babies born or being born: The Hollands are expecting this week, Jay and Bethany have cute little Eden Stevenson. There isn't a more precious baby girl. Baylor friends having babies- Wes and Becca Cash with Graham.
- I started dating a really sweet, beautiful girl named Christine. She is a lawyer, but is confused with being a high school sophomore due to her "youthful" appearance.
- God has given me some wonderful, wonderful friends. I've been thankful of the new people God continues to bring into my life to augment relationships that change.
I am going to make sure I am more faithful in posting. I was reading my old posts and brought back some fun times in my life. Do you ever feel like you could go back in time and experience those things over again? One thing I have been thinking about alot recently (especially this week) is that we need to take advantage of all the time given to us. I'm guilty of getting into a routine where I don't stop and really just enjoy the moment. I have been looking back on things where I either backed out of a trip or didn't take the time to spend with a friend because of work or other selfish reasons. I'm committing myself to being proactive, sensitive to the Spirit, and being BOLD for the 2nd half of 2013. OK, I'm realizing this is kind of a mashed up, random blog, but really, I'm kind of a random guy anyway. Its good to be back!
