My Journey:

 Back
 December 2008

And so the end of another year.  It's had some major ups & downs for me and my family.

Off hand... some of the Downs:

Dick's cancer.

Chris's continued medical problems and hospital stays.

Kyle's car problems.

The death of Briana's friend.

And some of the Ups:

Completing my PhD.

Kyle's graduation.

My graduation (with family) in Minneapolis.

My trip to New York (multi-purpose).

Ryan competing in cross-country at the state meet, and running a triathlon (not the iron man, but a heck of an achievement).

Chris's & Dick's recoveries - they've come a long way.

I wasn't sure what to expect out of 2008, but it started with a lot of promise as I defended my dissertation.  It proved to be a difficult year, for the country economically, as well as some personal roadblocks to be overcome.  As I look forward to 2009, I am once again unsure of what to expect.  I'm not expecting any big positive events, hope that the negatives stay away.  I just with for a good year.
