Sad

I found out today that the father of a dear friend of mine passed away last night. This got me to thinking of my dad and the fact that he has been gone 12 years now. I always wonder if my dad would be proud of me now? If he would have liked the wonderful man that I am going to marry? I also wonder if my life would have been dramatically different if my dad were still around. I admit that I truly believe I am where I am in life right now because of the events that happened after my dad passed away. To get away from the sorrow and grief of losing my dad I moved to St. Louis to get a fresh start. If I had not moved here I wonder if I would have every met my fiance? Would I have even moved to St. Louis if my dad were still here?

I know it is not good to dwell on the past. But at times like this, when the loss of a dad occurs, I am reminded of my loss.....

I loved my dad dearly. We had so many great times. I am truly blessed to have had him around as long as I did. I cherish every day I had with him. However, I can tell you that the day he passed away a piece of me died as well that can never be replaced. He was a great man.

Sorry for the sad post, but they can't all be sunny! :-)

Way to long!

It has been nearly 2 years since I last posted anything on my site. I have a lot of catching up to do. Lets just start from the beginning. The reason I stopped posting is because I met this wonderful man who started taking up a lot of my free time. We have since gotten engaged and will make this crazy thing official in October of this year. Job wise - I took a promotion and came in the office for a year to train people how to do the job that I once was doing. However, now that the economy decided to turn south I will be going back out on the road to help out my fellow Examiners. Good thing I have the wedding all planned!!!!!

That is the short version of what I have been up to, there have been some fun things in between, but I won't get into them now. I have to go finish my laundry right now........ so catch you l8er!
