My twenty ninth year in review (a little late I know)

So here I am 30.. Funny, but I really don’t feel that old. One year wiser, and one more year closer to retirement. Its funny how years just fall away once you reach the adult world. I have been sober for just over two years now, and I consider my rebirth when I stopped drinking. That critical part of growing up that I had to do to survive, and even be writing this now.

I have been taking one day at a time for a while now, and this is just another day at a time for me. But the things that have happened to me in the last year have been amazing!

Sarah and I have continued to be deeply in love. And life with her is like living with your best friend. We get along great most of the time, and most of the time she helps me and supports me without a seconds thought. She is truly amazing; I hope that everyone that reads this finds someone that takes care of them half as well as she takes care of me.

My Daughter Grace was born while I was 29, and as you can see my site has quickly become a shrine to one of my favorite things in this world. Her! I can’t take enough pictures or spend enough time with her; it is almost as if I have been waiting to be a Dad my whole life. The other day my father and I were talking about her, how she is such and easy child. How she just ‘goes with the flow’ and is always smiling. I explained to my Dad that she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. What better way to no longer be selfish than to have a child. It makes me consider her wellbeing before my own and makes me a better person as a whole. It seems that my Dad understands this, as he got sober shortly after starting his family.
