Mild January
Monday, February 6th, 2012
January 2012 was an interesting kick-off to the year 2012. It ran the gamut of emotions from very happy to very sad. Even the weather couldn’t make up it’s mind as I saw temperatures as low as 14 degrees with snow and as high as 55 degrees with sun. The whole months seemed to have an identity crisis, not knowing what it wanted to be. As I traveled through it, I experienced the various highs and lows right along with it.

Mayans. Apocalypse. Mysticism. New Age Prophecy. If you take any of these sorts of things to heart (which I don’t), you might be inclined to believe that there is something significant about the year 2012. Mostly it has to do with the world ending. I’m sort of hoping that it doesn’t.

With the way things were shaping up throughout December, I had much to look forward for the 2011 holiday season. This would be Silas’ first Christmas, and although at less than 8 months old, he wouldn’t really know what was going on, there was bound to be ample cuteness. This was also the first Christmas that I would be spending with Jamie, and we had made plenty of plans to spend time together. Although I would have liked to have her at my family gathering on Christmas Eve night, she was spending that evening with her folks and had allotted quite a bit of time for me on Christmas Day. 
Like it or not, Thanksgiving came around once again just as expected. This year it fell on a Thursday, which was totally expected. The date was November 24, 2011. I spent the bulk of the afternoon working on uploading music with the pleasant diversion of visiting my friend Ashleigh Heath at her father’s house. She was in the midst of making me a big fat delicious apple pie. We took a short road trip up to the store to grab some cheese, crackers, and wine for that late evening’s gathering that would be happening at my house.
