2007….
So, 2007 was quite an interesting year. Between working my tail off at work, getting a promotion with a decent raise, knee surgery, and beginning the process for testing for my medic, as well as catching up hours wise at my firehouse….wow! And that’s not even going into the social side and busyness that created.
Reflecting on the previous year is interesting, it wasn’t particularly good, but not bad either. My parents visited for thanksgiving, and we had a very nice dinner here at my apartment. Dinner included Ryan, his mom, and Shana. Shana then picked up her parents at the airport and came back over for dessert. It was kind of stressful at first getting everything ready, but everyone enjoyed everything. And as my parents left to go back to Ohio, I had a smaller family reunion with my cousin Lars. I don’t believe up until then that we’d seen each other since 1990.
I learned quite a bit about wine last year as well. Also found my so far favorite vineyard in Potomac Point Vineyard. I’ve been 3 times now, and the owners are really fantastic, and all of their wine is just…good. If you like wine/vineyards, I can’t recommend this one enough.
There’s also been a recent management change at work. I no longer report to John, who honestly is probably one of the best bosses/managers I’ve ever had, but now report to someone out of the Cincinnati office. I’m really trying to give it a chance, but I am skeptical.
I think that really summarizes 2007 for me. Oh, and of course, I still have the BEST dog in the world. She’s 3 now!
