Another Year in Review 2007

Chips (check), dip (check), drinks (check), Jasyn.com (double-check)!

Oh I didn’t see you come in, welcome to the year end celebration of Jasyn.com!!! GOOD-BYE 2007!!! okay this has been a very very difficult year to deal with things, I went through all my entries for 2007 and read them all one by one, every line, every detail, every event that happened… It has been both exciting and devastating with everything that has happened, and most of you already are quite aware of everything that has happened… however that is all in the past now and now we must look ahead to 2008, where new beginnings happen once again…

Well this past Tuesday was Christmas once again, and what a Christmas it was… I mean it was great seeing both families, but it sucks when Christmas is on a Tuesday and you work both Monday and Wednesday… On Monday I only got off an hour early, had to drive all the way up town back to my apartment, then load the truck with my parents gifts then drive to my parents house in North Peoria… we had a great time and I got to see my aunt once again with Monty, and we stayed the night… On Christmas morning we had to go thru our presents quickly (which I hated because I love taking my time with gifts) but we had to leave about 10:30 in the Morning to go to her family’s Place… the story behind that is that we spent Thanksgiving with my parents, and I promised Jenn and her family we’d spend Christmas with her family then switch next year)… so we had to go back to our apartment, swap out the open gifts from my parents and put her family’s gifts in the truck [we actually just put them in the ones we opened in the Pontiac] then drove back town to Ahawatukee which is clear down to the southern part of Phoenix [see why I'm exhausted] and we spent the rest of the morning into the evening with her family opening up gifts and having dinner there… We Ended up getting home about 6pm which gave us some time to relax but still it has already taken it’s toll on me as far as resting and relaxing, but least I get another day off next week as well for New years day…

Well This will be my last entry for the 2007 campaign, however I want to leave with a final thought… This past year I have lost friends and family whom have left an impression on me and will stay in my heart for a lifetime, there is no way to replace them or to even forget their love and devotion… This more than ever has inspired me to be a better person and a more compassionate individual, and I hope that maybe my words will also have a similar affect on people that they will also become more than just human… Good bye 2007, and good Riddance!

Look! Up in the sky, is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! It’s another entry from Jasyn.com!!!

Well the decorations are up, and the gifts are wrapped and all the prep work is done for this holiday season for a long and exhausting holiday season… I only say this because there is always so much work to put into to make a successful Christmas… Not to mention that there is a bug going around, as I’m sure Jenn at home is no-doubt hating right now… She’s home sick today with a very high fever that really started on Saturday, she was basically in bed all day yesterday and I did what I could to help… Also I’m still trying to finish off my shopping, I still have a gift or two to get and some stocking stuffers to fill our stockings and little nick-nack gifts too :)

Also looking ahead, I am stoked about going on my vacation in January!!!! I have never had a paid vacation before, so this will be a most welcome accomidation… I have been working for about 8 yrs, [Since I was 15] and I have always missed going on vacation with my folks out of town in order for me to work, not to mention I have been skipping along jobs not able to accumulate enough time to be able to take a worthwhile vacation, and whenever I do get consecuetive days off It’s usually becuase I’m either sick or a tradegy to my family… So Jennifer and myself are going up north where we have a spectacular trip planned! Eventhough I’m taking two weeks off, Jenn is only taking one, but that second week off is going to be a nice repreave to be able to just rest up and get caught up on sleep and what not! Oh do I ever need this vacation!

Well I’m going to go ahead and close up this entry, I know there wasn’t much up for me to talk about, I’ve been busy but once the holiday season comes to an end, I’ll have more to write about and make sure to be more regular with my entries! [Grins]
