Hard to believe that Christmas Day is less than four days away. I don't know where the time goes - in fact, I think the entire year went by in a blur. You know what they say, the older you get, the faster time flies and I really think everything about that saying is true! It boggles my mind that we are almost into 2007, seven years into the new millenium. Do you remember how crazy things were just before the year flipped to 2000? I should know; I was a senior in high school then. There were many "dooms-day" scenarios floating around out there, saying that if certain equipment were not compatible to make the conversion to the year 2000, then we would be in a world of hurt. But it was clearly all hype as very few situations arose when we officially entered the new millenium. Now we are closing in on the year 2010. Scary how quickly time flies, isn't it?
Overall, the year 2006 was a good one for me. I can't really say nothing extremely bad happened to me this year and that I continued to enjoy life and live it to its fullest. Work has gone extremely well for me, including a new job promotion in April that required me to switch crews. Yes, I was extremely fond of the people on my old crew and I'll admit, I was hesitant as to whether I should leave them. But looking back upon it now, I am really glad I made the decision to switch. The people on my crew now have made the transition so wonderfully easy and they are such supportive people; I am truly blessed. And now as I train in to become a fill-in boss, they are just as helpful and cooperative as I transition into that role, too.
I also moved into a new apartment building in 2006, something I had greatly wanted to do for much of the spring and summer this year. My new apartment is much more modern and spacious with just as much storage room as the old place. And the rent really is pretty decent, too, considering how much it is throughout the rest of the city. I have great landlords that will fix anything, whatever goes wrong. I think I can be rather comfortable in that place for a long time, depending on a couple of different situations, should those come up in the new year or beyond. Time will tell.
My family welcomed in a new addition to the household as my niece was born into the world in May. Her name is Alanah Morgan Mattson and she is the sweetest little girl that you could imagine. She's already growing up quick and wanting to learn how to talk! And here I thought her brother was fast! Gotta enjoy them when they're this little because they grow up way too fast!
My favorite baseball team, the Detroit Tigers, finally had their first winning season in 13 years! They even made it all the way to the World Series before losing it to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Tigers made so many fantastic moments in 2006 that it's one baseball season I will never forget. So many memorable game-winning moments and spectacular plays; it's just so hard to remember them all. Here's hoping that 2007 will bring home their first World Series title since 1984.
Other than that, I can't think of anything else of major importance that happened in 2006. It was a peaceful, quiet, and enjoyable year with no regrets as to whether I should've done things differently. 2007 might throw in some challenges, including some health issues that I might have to deal with soon as well as a budding relationship that is just now in its infancy. As to anything else, we will see as they happen in the new year! I hope 2007 is just as great as 2006 was.
Hope everyone else had a wonderful 2006 and here's wishing everyone else a peaceful and prosperous new year! :-)
