The Greatest Decade Ever

While ringing in the new year with some family and friends (and a great cigar), I started to think about the close of the decade and all that I’ve been through in that time.  The more I thought about it, the more I realized its been one wild ride – and probably the greatest decade ever.  Let me explain below with a few of the things that took place this past decade….

1) Graduated High School

2) Graduated College

3) Bought My First House (and then 2 more)

4) Got Married

5) Got my first full time job

6) Got my first promotion

7) Bought my first Car (all by myself)

8) Had two beautiful kids

9) Vacationed in beautiful places with family and friends

10) Was stretched, tested, challenged and made it through it all

11) Took my son to his first baseball game

12) Took Jadyn on her first Roller Coaster (well, Andrea did)

13) Connected with many new friends through social media.

14) Experienced one of the greatest college football games of all time.

15) Made it through 7 years of marriage with my best friend.

The above list is a brief sampling of things that have happened over the last 10 years.  I could easily come up with more, but I think you all get the point.  Now it all hasn’t been a nice downhill run – there have been obvious road bumps and hurdles, but I made it, and I’m better off because of it.

Here’s to another great 10 years for us all!
