A New Year / My Wife is Home

So this one is a two part-er.


part 1: A New Year
Once again Nelson and his crew have pulled off another amazing new years party. These are the best parties I have ever been to. The atmosphere is amazing, the music is on point, and it's set up in a way to make everyone comfortable. What makes these gatherings so amazing is the people I get to hang out with. I've got some of the greatest friends in the whole world. Through out the night I would ask different people to make a toast. Almost everyone started off by mentioning the great relationships we have. They're not perfect friendships, just meaningful ones...what more could I ask for on the beginning of the new year?

Part2: My wife is home
Yesterday my wife woke me up at 9:30am. She just wanted to let me sleep in a little after having to wake up early for the last few days. (what she doesn't know is, when jett would wake me up at 7...I would give him milk and crackers, turn a show on, and fall asleep on the couch. I would always tell him, "wake me up if you need something." One time he did wake me up and I told him, "jett, I'm sleeping, can this wait?") As I slowly arise I notice that the bedroom is all cleaned up. And what is that that I hear in the back ground, it is the sweet hum of the washing machine. Jill came back into the bedroom and said, "did you get enough sleep?" "yah, thanks." "I've got fresh made apple juice for you in the fridge." Ah yes, welcome to the good life. Watching Jett by myself was an adventure. We had so much fun going on bike rides, wrestling, and eating like crap. But spending these few days alone has made me realize how much work Jill does. I don't think I fully appreciate her and it's time I start telling her more often. I have seen the light and it is good.
