Wow

It has been a while since I last blogged, and much has happened in my life. Most notably, I married a wonderful woman. She's a fantastic writer, and she does most of the blogging about our lives now. (Check out http://thekimballsbooyah.blogspot.com).

However, I do miss writing, so maybe I'll update this more. Who knows?

The last 18 months or so have been wonderful and stressful. I got a list, here's the order of the list that it's in (anyone? anyone?).

• March 2009 - I left the sports PR biz to join the non-profit PR biz, so a bit of a change in career paths. I've since had my role at my current job change majorly once and have gone through about four different bosses.

• End of March-Beginning of April 2009 - My then-strictly-friend Lynne and I started to date long distance a bit.

• May 2009 - We got engaged and traveled every weekend between CA and UT to see each other.

• August 2009 - We got married and moved to Sandy, UT.

• December 2009 -We found out Lynne is pregnant, and the baby boy is due Sept. 10, 2010. I also got accepted to the PMBA program at the University of Utah. I'll be starting in August 2010 two nights a week while working full time.

• March 2010 - We bought a house.

• April 2010 - Worked night and day to remodel as much of said house as possible before we moved in late in the month. Still a lot of work to do.

•  June 2010 - My dad passed away after years of battling illness and personal deamons.

So yesterday was the most interesting Fathers' Day of my life as I reflected on the loss of my dad and the boy that I can't wait to meet in September. To be honest, it was a rough day for me, but it made me even more grateful for my wife, my new boy, my brothers, my step-dad Irv, the memory of my dad, the great father figures I've had over the years, and my wonderful friends.

I appreciate the recent journey on which life has taken me, and (I think) I'm looking forward to inevitable surprises around every corner.
