How about some highlights of 07?

As the year comes to an end, I tend to reflect on all the positive things that have occurred during the last 12 months.

Getting your gonorrhea cleared up does not count Blake! Where is Blake btw?

Bought a house for all the WBN and WB.com crew to party at in the summer. Mr. Green

Got my jeep in tip-top shape and it actually goes above my expectations. Twisted Evil

Made it a year with one girl, and not once did I even come close to straying (had some opportunities, but never considered them........much. Laughing

)

Swass, that is an achievement. Congrats. Laughing

jt09, actually when you think about it, with your habits, that probably is a goal. Laughing

I got promoted this year, my wife's business has seen substantial growth, have drank some unbelievable wines, most everyone I know is in good health, step dad made it though triple bypass, the Huskies were exciting to watch this year (AD fired, DC Fired, recruiting class is stellar is all and after season bonus), and I'm headed to Chile tomorrow. It's been a great year.

I found out that we have a coke head in the family...so that's cool.
Rest of family is in denial that we have a coke head in the family, and continue to give said coke head money for things like bail, lawyer fees, new car, car insurance, electric bill, phone bill, child support, vet bills etc.
Moved 1271 miles away from FL to start my own business.
House never sold.
Moving 1271 miles back home and closing business.
Sold my beloved V-Ride to help move. Sad

Sold my TJ to help move. Sad

Made some great new friends, kept the great old ones.

It was a very exciting year to say the least, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
All in all, my wife didn't leave me, my dog still licks my face when I come home, and everybody's healthy. Couldn't ask for more.

Hopefully next year we'll add a baby into the mix. Good times ahead.

All in all a very good year. The new business is going well and I purchased my first home. I also picked up a rescue dog that comes to work with me every day.

It was a pretty good year for me sold 2 houses and bought one. My wife's company started to treat her bad so we started a new business and started to show good profit the last few months. I also bought a boat.

I only had one orthopedic surgery this year. Enough of me has been rebuilt that the training doesn't hurt so much. Looking forward to participating in sports with the kids again. If I keep up the pace, Mt. Climbing may once again be in my future.

Business cranked. A lot of stuff we have done over the last year has started to kick in and really started to pay dividends now. Website finally up: www.waterware.co.nz.

Bought a new section by lake Maritei & started to develop it. Fun fun fun. Looking forward to getting some wakeworld/wakeboarder friends to come and visit.

Love my wife more than I did last year which is quite an achievement. Our boy is doing well in school and is healthy & happy; And loving the wakeskate which is cool.

My 11yr old cat that was missing for 10 months came home. Bless his fluffy trousers.

For me, every year is a better year. Rockin.

This year has been the worst on the books for me...I had cars break, bad family news, job had major issues, house had major repairs, health issues..everything that could go wrong went wrong. I will have the BEST toast on New Years eve that I have ever had! All in all I will be glad to watch this year fade into the rear view mirror. With that said I am super stoked about next year. I have a couple of snowboarding trips lined up and am I scheduled to finish my basement so things are shaping up nicely. I have HIGH hopes that this next year will be one of the best of my life.
