Happy New Year!

Survived the family, Santa Claus, etc.

My niece and nephew came to town with my brother and his wife. Kids are interesting to say the least. I always forget how loud the house gets. I like them, though. The boy is smart as all get out and listens to everything the adults are talking about. As a result of this, he is the only stressed out 6 year old I know. If his folks are worried about something, he is worried too. The girl is a "damn-the-torpedoes" type, nothing phases her.

My other brother came in as well, he is debating going into the seminary. I hope he can make a decision on this either way, he is very conflicted and not very happy. I just want him to make sure that is really what he wants to do with his life if he goes in. It's a pretty serious commitment to make. I wish him luck and wisdom in making this decision.

We all had a good time. It was a nice capper for a pretty good year for me. Got promoted, no one died, went to a nice wedding and a family reunion, new car is great, have enough fundage to start looking at land to build a house, started the road to getting my Architect License, and have stayed friends with more people then I have lost.

This year I am going to try to reconnect with some people, keep taking tests, and finish two projects that have been going on for a while.

Should be fun...Happy 2007!
