Cool Yule

It's been a busy couple of months. As we're looking at wrapping up 2007 it's amazing to think back on this year with quite a few changes.

Let's look back on some of the things that happened this year:

• We started the year in London on our first trip to Europe
• We bought our first house
• We got a dog (Roxie)
  
• Dezi and I celebrated 2 years of marriage (I still think she got the raw end of the deal)
  
• I turned 30 and we celebrated all the dignity of the occasion with a good romp of Whirlyball
  
• Dezi switched graduate schools
  
• I changed jobs yet again

While it's been a busy and challenging year 2008 is already gearing up to be at least as interesting. I'm scheduled for surgery on January 4th to repair some torn cartilage in my left knee as well as a partially torn ACL. This is my first big injury. My mind races with what could happen, but I want to get back to doing the things I enjoy... particularly jiu-jitsu and this is the only way that can happen. I've also been instructed to lose weight to help my knee and will be making more of a concerted effort this year to make that happen.

For the time being we are in Abilene for a few days to visit with my parents. We go back home on Sunday since I was supposed to work on Monday. We were given Monday off after all, but the holiday plans had already been made in advance.

There are a few things that I would like to accomplish this year. Surgery and recovery may delay it, but I'd like to try to find the time and money to go to either Disney World or Paris this year. Dezi and I have been talking about taking steps for future Rollins. You can never really be ready for things like that, but I'd like to feel like we've done some of the things we want to ahead of time.
