Happy New Year

Happy New Year

As the year 2008 wrapped up I have been very busy. As many of you know I started a new job this year as an assistant prinicpal. I must say the job promotion has been a challenge, but what job in education does not have its daily obstacles. I have enjoyed every day of the experience, but with the personality I have I like to be organized and have a set game plan everyday. I have quickly realized that as I get older the only way to survive life is to simply take one day at time. My new motto is "Don't sweat the small stuff." A few months ago I started having severe chest pains. With my family medical history the heart specialist found it necessary to run a stress test. So, over Winter Break I took a stress test and passed with flying colors. I thank the good Lord above that my heart is functioning normal and with rest and relaxation I have been able to enjoy over the last two weeks my chest pains have subsided.

I would like to take a moment to wish each of you a blessed 2009 ahead filled with health, happiness and love. My family gathered again this year for our traditional New Year's Eve bash. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner, great company and good times as we brought in the New Year together as a family. I have included some photos from our New Year's Eve bash 2009.
