At first glance, 2008 wasn’t the best year of my life. My dad crashed his bike, almost died, ended up in a coma, and is still recovering. I haven’t really talked about it, with anyone, or at least in depth. It still hurts to think about it, and it still hurts to see him now, and see him act the way he does. He’s getting a lot better and is still expected to make a full recovery. I love him, I will always love him, as well as the rest of my family. I feel so bad for what my mom has gone through, and still is going through. For the first month after he came home, we couldn’t even leave him alone by himself. After all this is said is done, I believe it will only make our family stronger.

Along with that I also found out that I am a pre-diabetic. I guess it’s not the worst news in the world, but I still was very bummed, and scared. It just means I have to make some lifestyle changes, and I have. Gotta watch those carbos.

So those were two things, that would usually make for a sub par year. The truth, however, is that this will probably go down as the best year of my life. For one reason. My wonderful girlfriend Anna. Had I not had Anna, I don’t know if I would have been able to make it through this year with my sanity intact. And I just want to thank her so much, for gracing me with her presence.


I love you Anna Fleissner, thanks for the best year of my life.



ps. Troy, Mike, Orie, Brett and Joel, I love you guys. (no homo)
