It really has been along time since i have visited these parts, missing allot of things this year and will man up a bit and fight through my pity party real soon. As for the holiday season once again , it seemed like the last one was merely a day or two ago and here we go again with the drama of the busy roads and the commercialization of the the Christmas season! Driving through town and watching the drama unfold in the parking lots and in the stores! So we venture towards another bittersweet holiday season but only in the sesnse that we are always missing parts of our family, most of which involves my Baby Aubrey and her adorable ways, my, our first grandchild and so very proud. Our baby is in Virginia with her daddy and mom doing the Army thing and making their own way in this world. Our other Army boy Brazman is in Hawaii and will be here this christmans to enjoy the season with us and with Brandon,Terria and myself enjoying the season at Sister Aprils house as per usual.
Now back to the depression portion of the season, missing Ty and Mandy and mainly our precious little Aubrey who has given us a new perspective on life and a reinvigoration to stay healthy and young to enjoy her growth and life. some days like today i was driving down the road and heard the Ray Stevens "everything is Beautiful"classic on the ipod and immediately started crying, full on tear laden outpour missing my grand baby Aubrey more than anything i can remember to date.Each day gets harder and harder and we have thought of flying to Va. to visit for a few days but they will be in coloradpo springs in Feb. and we should wait but who knows what we will do?
A couple of positives in that we built, or rebuilt our master bedroom, took out the carpet put in tile and did oak baseboards, new paint and curtains and new furniture to make it all new, and for some reason bought a 46" Flatscreen for our viewing pleasure. THe kitchen is the last room to tackle starting with a stainless steel sink and some new cupboards, we have the sink and bought a pub table for the dinner table and are almost there with the house, this following the concrete job in the front yard and the ongoinfg backyard project...waiting til the dogs die before that gets finished! So enough with the house stuff!
On The Terria and Greg Front all is really really well, Terria and her knees and sachilles are hurting her after her surgeries but time will help to mend that soon. i am doing well and am just over a miserable 3 month bout with Sciatica and stenosis of the 4th and 5th vertibrae and was never in so much discomfort. After 3 epidurals and 2 months of thrice weekly chiropractic care i have come back to 85-90% and feel really good, the back was an issue and it cost me a full month of going to the gym which has been back in the mix for about 5 weeks now. Feeling really good and have got back on the saddle again . Bought for my upcoming 50th birthday present a 2012 Beautiful Yamaha R1, 180mph motorcycle which is a dream to ride and i have yet to break her in properly, only 400 miles on it due to rains and dirty roads but my rising took a year off but did not miss a beat and i still have the skills that will keep me on a state of the art Sportsbike versus the overpriced old mans Harley which for the lif eof me does nothing for the soul in my eyes. riding a slow bike slow takes no skill, risding a fast bike hard and fast is a talent which i have worked really hard to obtain through thousands of miles and 2 accidents, one which almost killed me but I am here and refuse to ive with fear, if anything it has made me appreciate the finer things, the little ytthings in life which I used to let pass me by. so in lieu of a big 50th birthday party I was given a new fast motorcycle to continue my passion! A new day has dawned and I am very much looking forward to a new 2013 and the ongoing love and joy that my household brings. Hard work and love have taken us very far and ralistically the roadbumps in life make us truly understand the real meaning of life, knowing we are flawed and imperfect we can build upon that and always try to improve up[on what most outsiders see as pretty damn great! well it is and I can always o a little bit more. so muchg to be thankful for and so many blessings in our life with all of the tragedies around us we are a strong people who can and have risen above the doldrums of the world around us. god is amazing and to all those paper and phony christians and the bullshit laden republican PArty.... you all can kiss my fucking ASS!
