Rebuilding the Base and New Year...

I am very happy that I could finally take a break from it all and play around with CS5 and some ideas for a blog re-design for 2011. I am far from having anything nice enough so everything on here is sort of a place-holder till true inspiration hits...

Well this entry is a belated New Years shout out that I hope you will take the time read through. Yeah I know it is running a bit late but it is just as heart-felt as when I originally "penned" it.

My wife has not had an easy time of it with this pregnancy. I suspect that most of it is that it is her first so this is all uncharted territory for her bit we have also had some legitimate scares so far. Because of this I would like to express gratefulness to all her friends who have show their love and support during this time. I think this journey would be a lot harder if none of you were willing to take the time to spend time with her in our home. So thank you so much all!

Our home was also blessed with the visit of Marvin, his wife Ana, the family her sister Marta, and all their kids on Christmas day. Our home was filled with the laughter of children and music! Thank you also Marvin for your very generous gift. When I opened a certain piece of software on it, it brought tears to my eyes because it has been a while since I’ve been truly up to date with something that was a big part of my life for many years. Hopefully in 2011 we will see a bit of revival in that arena. Gracias my friend!

I am also grateful that my parents were with me on Christmas Eve and a bit of Christmas day. I know I am lucky for there are many who do not have this privilege for one reason or another. Whenever I am around them, even though it is for brief moments these days, I feel secure and happy. Thank you for being there.

There are too many people to thank and you know who you are. I can only hope that 2011, in spite of whatever challenges will come your way, will also be filled with joy, laughter, love, and hope. Know that you are appreciated and cherished by Tess and I. God bless us all in 2011!
