Highlights of 2005
December 28th, 2005 | 6 comments
I like the end of the year. It allows me to reflect upon the year and goals I want to set for the next one. Overall, 2005 was a good year. Major events included:
- Marathon Girl won the Texas Marathon and qualified (again) for the Boston Marathon.
- I turned 30.
- We found out we were expecting our second child.
- Celebrated our second wedding anniversary.
- My first wife’s grandmother passed away. She was like a mother to my first wife.
- Launched my website.
- Ran a 170-mile relay race with coworkers.
- Reached a point where I could share personal experiences with people at church about how I made it through the death of my first wife and daughter.
- Went back to school to sharpen my website skills.
- Had an incredibly embarrassing moment at church.
- Managed to finally bench 75 percent of my body weight. (An incredible feat if you know how skinny I am.)
- Steven was born.
- Became addicted to Lost.
- Finished my book.
- Landed my dream job. (I start January 2.)
2005 was indeed a good year. Here’s to hoping 2006 is just as great.

Congrats on the dream job!!! Is that the big change???
Way to slip the big news in there so unobtrusively
*wink,wink*
Congrats!
Yay!! The news is out! Congrats, again and good luck!
Oh man! I’m glad you posted that list. I’ve had such limited internet access, that it seems I’ve missed alot. So CONGRATULATIONS! on the new baby, the book, the race, the anniversary, learning how to be vulnerable, and the new job! All amazing! Congrats.
Slipping that job thing in was a lot like you did when you announced that Stephen was on his way. Sneaky, sneaky!
Happy New Year!
