stuck in torpasia

I turn twenty eight tomorrow.  It is hard for me to wrap my mind around the idea that I have been alive for twenty eight years.  Each year seems to fly by faster than the one before it.  I know each year is a year and take the same amount of time to pass, forgetting about leap years of course, but as I age the a year gets to be smaller relative to the amount of time I have been alive which is why they seem to go by faster and faster.

I would love to be able to say that the last year went as I had planned, but you all know that would be a lie.  I have not had a single year in my life that has gone the way I had planned.  Each year seems to bring its own set of suprised that range from heart breaking to wonderful.  This year has been no exception with its share of heart breaks and unbelievable blessings.

My relationship with Mandy is hands down the most incredible blessing of the last year.  It is something that I could have never seen coming and am so very grateful for.  I can’t describe how much she has changed my life or even begin to convey how encouraging she is.

Heart breaks are not really woth going into.  They are hard lessons that life much teach and I can only hope that I learned my lessons and don’t have to repeat any of them.

Mandy and I have been pretty busy with all kinds of things.  We spent one weekend at Big South Fork, which is an awesome park.  We only got about eight hours of time that it was not raining, but had a blast in those eight hours.  We have also been playing a little tennis which is surprisingly fun.  I have also started running again.  So far the knee has not bothered me, but I am trying to take it slow.
