Looking Forward to in 2007: Family
The year 2007 is sure to be a great year for me and my family. We have some really awesome things about to happen. Some very exciting landmarks and life changing events.
It seems in the time since I have graduated from school things have accelerated, though I don’t feel as overwhelmed with life changes as I used to. I guess I was too self absorbed or over analytical. Maybe I’m getting mellower, I don’t know. Had things like this magnitiude even happened to me several years ago, I probably would have flipped out.
So what exactly am I looking forward to?
- My new son – Just as Sophia changed my life and my relationship with with my wife, parents, in-laws and friends, I’m sure that when Liam gets here my life will be changed as well. I’ll now have a boy to teach and play with, to hope with dream with. And of course to buy Star Wars and Lego toys for! In just under two months from today, he will probably be here and I’ll be exhausted. Renee will be ecstatic and even more tired that I. Sophia will be wondering just what happened to
her little world. In short… nothing will be the same. - My Sister’s Wedding – Jessie has been dating her fiance Joe for about 2 or maybe even three years. They have a beautiful home and a great dog Maizy(sp?). And soon, they’ll join the club of old married people like me and Renee. We’re really looking forward to being part of their big day and hope the best for them!
- My Brother In Laws daughter - Finally! A first cousin for Sophia and another grandchild for Renee’s parents. Something tells me Christmas is going to be crazy come 2007! Maggie is going to so fun! We can’t wait.
- My parent’s new house – For the first time in thirty years, my parent’s will be moving. They are actuallly planning on leaving Southwest Wisconsin to move to Northwest Illinois. They’ve assured me that they are still going to be Packer and Badger fans. I’m really excited for them.
So, four main things… no big top ten or anything, but some really great stuff. I really am hopeful all of things go smoothly and will be very thankful with the passing of each and every one of them.

Wow dude, times change. Two kids, a Career, your sisters getting married, and your folks are leaving the old homestead. I suppose the Tornadoes are too dangerous there.
Rock on brother.
Anyways, I’m just stoked to find that people I know are doing things, keep it up!
