Sometom's Things Change
If anyone still reads this blog, I apologize for the lack of updates. It has been a year of upheaval in my little universe. I lost my mother, quit my job, moved home and am looking for work. While I hope to write more on those topics in future posts, I thought it might be prudent to begin with some updates.
I lost my mother in July. It was an awful experience, but there were some blessings wrapped up in it. We had some great family time at the end. I can not tell my friends how much I appreciate and needed their support over the summer.
My niece Makenzie, whose health issues were a frequent topic on this blog, is doing great. She is a normal, healthy nine-year-old girl. Looking at her with her boundless energy, you would never guess that she has had major surgeries on her heart, lungs, stomach and head.
When I was young, I dreamed of being a General Manager of a professional sports team, and I believed that my prowess of simming in Madden made me a qualified candidate. Well, I have worked in professional sports, and it is an industry I no longer want to be associated with. I still love sports, and the Twins and Vikings most of all, but I am content to be a fan. I do not see myself working for another team ever again.
I met a girl in Maryland, and we shall call her Amy. It is not her real name, but due to past issues on this blog, all females with any connection to my love life will be Amy. I met her through a friend last December at a bar, but did not get her number. I did not see her again until the baseball season, when she came to a couple games. We finally went on a date in September, roughly one month before I moved back to Minnesota. We hit it off really, really well. We enjoyed a great month together, but broke up the the last night we could be together before I moved. It was one more kick in the nuts from Maryland - after being single for most of my four years out there, I finally meet an awesome girl and we hit it off really well, after I had quit my job and committed to moving back home.
I hope this post finds you well, and if you continue to check my blog after a couple years of inactivity, you deserve a freaking cookie.
