"Year Ender"

Brad's website has inspired me to do a year ender, as it has others.
The images above are 3 very special moments I spent with my girls in July, on our trek out west.
It was a very special trip for us. A highlight of the year I will cherish.
I went on one when I was a teen. I remembered some places this time around.

The year was an emotional rollercoaster for me. Some days I felt like a basket case.
April was a month I didn't care for, nor ever care to remember it.
It was a year of learning, adapting, sacrificing,
and family and friends, whom I love dearly for all thier support.
It was a year of a new beginning. A new me. A happy me.

Life throws hardballs at you sometimes, and you have to learn and adapt.
I thank my mom and dad for the strong family values I have.
That is one of the greatest gifts you can have.

I've also got someone special in my life now.
She has a godsend's sense of humour. I love it.
A very strong family caring woman.

When I look towards 2005, I see happiness, stability and security for me and my girls. :~)

I hope the best of health and happiness to all in 2005.


Now for your links.........enjoy.

Nice nuclear shots? Well, not really.
Wanna curl with farting dogs? Try this game.
If you're getting a sunburn, make sure it's even. hahaha
Need some class-ass furniture for the house?
Something tells me this bear should give up parachuting. hahahahaha
A little base jumping in N.Y.C. at night. Guts man.
On this train, they pack'em in like sardines.
This is a contender for one of the lamest sites this year.
Kite aerial photography. Very cool.
Tide's coming in.


Later.....

Wow, what a great post! Right from the heart!
I'm sure 2005 will have some great days ahead for you and your girls.
