Its been forever

Well it has been forever since I posted on here. I thought I would revive it a little bit.

 

Digital Ruckus is live!!

The New Year

So a couple hours until the New Year. Well more than just a couple but needless to say less than 12 hours. So much to reflect on with the passing of this year. The major advancement of my life happened in the last half of the year. I finished college, got a real career shaping kind of job, and made the woman I love my fiancee. My life has moved forward in leaps and bounds. As I said in previous posts I have also noticed that the things that I focus on have also changed. From concerns about trivial things, I now concern myself with bathroom remodeling and kitchen redesign. Its comforting though. Its a surreal thought to think of all that has and will continue to change in my life. Finances and priorities will all adjust to my new life with my soon-to-be wife and with my home. What is eerie is my lack of fear. I am not worried at all about the coming changes. I am excited for it. I am in fact in some ways wanting to rush into it headlong. Its not that I wanna rush into marriage (that takes time and planning). But I am thoroughly excited about the future and about what other things I will have to make decisions.

Well I have to get some food in me but I want to write more so I will shortly.

Life

So my life is in a huge shift. I am getting busier and busier. I remember when I was little I used to think that I would get a job and come home relax. Its interesting though to see how that is not the case and how in reality things are just getting busier. I mean its not like my fairy tale life is being destroyed but its one of those things that become more relevant.

I mean now I think of ways to improve the kitchen and bathroom of my house. The craziest part... I don't even live in that house yet. Today I was cleaning up my parents garage and arranging old photos and papers. When I look at them I see a fresh faced young boy who's only joy at the time is the 1:64 scale model of Jamestown that was painstakingly assembled from Popsicle sticks and clay. I then fast forward to now and see how my concern now is of mortgages, marble countertops, and closet space. Its just crazy how life advances in such ways. From Star Wars movies and camouflage to more pressing concerns like Wedding registries and wall colors. Wow. Thats how life is. The words from scripture come to mind:

1 Corinthians 13:11 ~ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Christmas Eve

Well the sad part of our first Christmas together as fiances is the fact that I unfortunately is that I have to spend it with my family in Georgia. I honestly love spending time with my family but it is difficult to be away from my love. I feel bad to be constantly sending text messages and such while my family is just around. The nice thing though is that they all understand because after all they know that I am engaged.

Seriously though all we have done today (aside from church) was an extreme movie marathon induced by my parents. The Devil Wears Prada, Step Up, and now another is in discussion. Either way its really fun hanging out with my cousins and with my aunt and uncle but truly the fact of the matter is that there is always going to be an open spot in my heart from now on for Anna. Always be a place that will be missing her. She is spending time with her family right now going and seeing the Christmas lights in Richmond. I so wish that I could be there and see the lights too. I also need ot teach her more on how to do the pictures and how to make the settings on the camera to make the most optimal picture.

Well let me just get going and spend more time with my family. I also have an unction to start a little bonfire. Off to find a hatchet and some dry wood.

P.F. Changs

Beef a la Sichuan. I am going to try it for the first time. I realized now that I haven't utilized the capabilities of my phone for full mobile blogging. Unfortunately the goofy thing doesn't support image attachment. Now of course with my moblog over at textamerica getting shut down I gotta finish up. Well stuffs coming to the table. I will post later.
