A Retrospective of My 25th Year
Well, here I am: On the brink of turning another year older. Another year of changes (many), another year of ups and down, another year of having the breath of life in me. My 25th year has been filled, as most of them are, with everything you can imagine.
This is the year that I returned home after almost two and a half years in Fort Wayne, Indiana. What finally got me out of there was the promise of a return to radio by a station in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Three days later I'm leaving because the situation was not at all what I was told it was. It all worked out: I'm back at my former station and even doing the job I was doing before. It's been a real treat to "return to my roots." I also advanced somewhat in that I'm also working with another station in our building as the Assistant Program Director. Oh, I forgot to mention that: I'm APD of Hot 97.9 (WHTU) in addition to my duties on Q951. It's a fun ride. Admittedly, it was a tough decision to leave Indiana. I had (and still have) a lot of friends up there not to mention I was part of a great church. However I know now that I made the correct decision. I'm right where I need to be.
I've spent this year getting to see my nephew, Jakobe, grow up. In fact today was his first birthday and had I not moved back down here I couldn't have been at his party. Jakobe's truly been a blessing to me and I love that I've been able to be a part of his life. It's been fun getting to be a part of his life.
I'm also thankful of another product of my returning home. If you've been reading this thing for the entire three years that I've had it online (wow--three years already?!) then you know about Jess. Jess is a woman that I dated right before I made the move to Indiana and that I've always had feelings for. Recently we decided to give things another shot and I'm very glad that we have. It's only been a couple of weeks but still... I'm happy. I'm glad that she stuck by me even with the crap I gave her and put her through. Despite all of that and some issues I went through recently where I was VERY confused about a lot of things, she stuck by my side.
As you can see the one constant in my life for the last year has been change. My 25th year on this Earth has been full of changes... some were eacy to make, others took lots of pondering. My 26th year promises to have lots of change as well... some I'm pondering right now so we'll see what happens. Regardless, I'm thankful that I'm in a place where I have great friends, family and (most importantly) God to back me up.
Add one more constant: Love.
