Starting from scratch

As this is my first blog, and the first time I have written anything in a long time it will be interesting to see what comes out. So please be understanding and kind as I struggle through this.

So where to start, the beginning is always a good place but really where does the beginning begin? My beginning was July 24th, 1983. For those of you who can do the math realized that I turned 25 this year last year which to me I still feel like I'm still 21. People will ask me my age and I'll have to pause and think for a minute, wait how old am I again? Maybe that's the beginning signs of alzheimers disease. Which you would see there would be another beginning. And maybe we all have many beginnings, (i.e. a new job, a new move, a new pet, a new year) Or maybe each day is a new beginning, a day to start fresh or to start over. Which in all reality as long as there is a new day the things we can do are unlimited.

So in those instantes I have had many new beginings from dealing with the death of my brother Rick, learning that I can't control everything even though I may really want to. Realzing how very important those close to us are regardless of differences we might have with one another. That we must always show our love and appreciation for eachother as we don't know when we won't be able to anymore. To being married for almost 3 years now, each day learning how to compromise and try to understand more than I did the day before. I have had four pet rats, Stormy and Lowrider whom have both passed and currently have Sadie and Remmy. We rescued Sadie and Remmy so they might be able to start a new life as the life they had was negleted and abused. I can happily report that Steve makes sure they are never neglected and they are quite happy :) They have taught me that even rats can give and show love and appreciation and they are one of the most most disliked and misunderstood animals that I know.

I have currently been at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith for a year now which for me is a record as in the past couple years it has been hard to stay anywhere for more than 6 months. I don't know if it's my tolerence for these jobs is less or I've just found my talents are better used else where. As for how long I'll be at this job I hope at least for another year. Taking into consideration there are so many people who have been laid off and are currently looking for work, Steve and I are very thankful right now that both of us do have good stable jobs for the time being. But you know that's what's funny about this adventure we are on, anything at any moment could change and we would have to readjust to whatever that circumstance might be. I certainly didn't think I would be where I am today, maybe that's lack of planning or just dealing with things as they come.
