Decade Ending Post
It’s been quite the decade. Although, I’m not sure I agree with the decade thing. To me it’s a 10 year period. So, that would be 2000-2010. But, others are saying 1999-2009. I also don’t agree the millennium started in 2000 but rather, 2001. Anyway, it’s not the crux of my post.
Since 1999(since that’s the theme) we’ve had a son (second child).Moved 4 times. From Miamisburg, Oh to Bloomfield, NJ from there to Irving,Tx Irving to Grapevine almost a direct line move from one side of the airport to the other. To a much better apartment and neighborhood.
Grapevine was a great place, great schools, lots to do etc. I was also diagnosed with and beat testicular cancer. Some day that will be a post in itself. I couldn’t have asked for a better medical team. Again, Texas was a good place. God made sure I had the exact people to detect and help get rid of the cancer.
I sometimes regret moving from there. But now it’s a 2 hoour ride to see my family versus 2 days in the car.
My sister had her first kid, my nephew will be three soon. Time really does fly. I love him to death. ON the other hand, I screwed up when it comes to my niece. Even though I wasn’t around;ie out of state for most of her life, I should have done more to be closer to her. I plan on doing that this coming year. I love her and need to make sure she knows it. I also want to be closer to all my siblings and in laws.
I’m also starting a new chapter with the new year. My wife and I will be starting a business. I already own the domain name and have started building the website. We’ll be filling out the various and sundry forms for forming an LLC. Gotta be all legal, right?
I also discovered twitter this year and through it, made a ton of friends. Thank you all for making it a great year, despite all the bullshit.

Good for you.. sounds like you really got things moving along in the right direction. Do make sure you take the extra mile with your niece. I moved all the way across country partially because I have no family support. I have nieces and a nephew that I haven’t seen in over 4 years due to my sister.
Never regret your moves, each one brought you to where you are now, which looks like a damn good spot. Take care and keep us updated on the business.
