Happy New Year

Dear Blog,

Hi, how ya doing? I'm sorry I haven't written anything substantial recently; I'm sorry to say that I now have a job where I want to get on with my work. Since I only really go on the internet at work, that means that you, my beloved blog, is the victim.

To make some kind of amends, I decided that I'd write to you and talk to you about my past year, and what's ahead this year. How does an evaluation start? By reading your objectives of course!! I wrote this last January about what was in store for 2005. How did I do?

• Massive year of change - it certainly was.
• Parents moving to Cambridge - they sold, they moved, they conquered.
• Moving out - I moved out and I love it...it'll be even better when it's just me and Lisa and not 4 of us cooking seperate meals! Students; you gotta love 'em.
• Brother 99% certain to get into RAF - he's there right now. I got a call from him last night, and he said that today will mainly consist of:
  • 3 Hours of Drill - marching around a massive square of concrete being shouted at.
  • Inspection? - I think he said he had some tidying to do and then lunch.
  • 2 More Hours of Drill - more marching.
  I miss him.
• Finding out what God wants - In 2005, God let me find the woman who I'm spending the rest of my life with - my Lisa. Other than that, I've been moving on with my music - mainly bass - and growing up.

Best Bits

What were my favourite bits of 2005?

• Lisa is a major best-bit...I love life with Lisa :-D sorry to go on, but I can't help it :-P
• Moving out - while it has been tough in some respects, it's utterly fab; get on with my parents much better :)
• Going to France with my mates from Church - it was a fab holiday...really got to see some great places and experience stuff in France. I'm glad I vaguely know French ;-)
• Going to see Green Day at Milton Keynes - it was the best gig I've ever been to; bar none. Soul Survivor doesn't count.
• Going to Soul Survivour - It was great; especially losing my voice singing along to Hillsong United Live...too many good songs!
• Going to Chicago with Owen - just before Owen went to the RAF, we went to Chicago for a week and stayed with my Dad. It was really great...even though I've been to the US loads of times, it was the first time I really got to experience it for myself - and it was cool having Owen there; he's never been, so I could see it through a newcomer's eyes.

So, again I ask, what's in store this year - 2006?

• Marriage!!! Lis and I are getting married - that's a biggy!
• Honeymoon - ;-) ;-) Fuerta Ventura, here we come!!!!
• House - obtaining a house is on the list of adventures for this year.
• .... - fill that space. I'm hoping that the sky's the limit :-D

Well, that's it. I hope you're keeping well Mr Bloggy - give Noel my best.

Yours Sincerely,

T
