Something Swift this way comes…

Okay, so I didn’t post anything before Christmas, but I am getting my pre-newyears post in. I had a really good Christmas – finally got the awesome Kitchenaid Stand Mixer that I’ve been asking for since I got married. The wife sprung for one and got it for me for Christmas….she’s so awesome! So I’ve been making bread like a mad man, some of it good, some of it not so good, but this thing has a thousand and one uses, I’m telling ya! Anyways, it’s been a hard day at work, running network cable through a building that could withstand a nuclear bomb-blast…two to three foot thick concrete walls reinforced with steel bars and wire mesh – they don’t build these things like they used to, I’m telling you. Anyways, that’s what I spent most of my day doing, and what I’ll likely spend most of my day tomorrow working on. That was utterly pleasant, though I must say that it was nice to have some help on the job – this is not a one man job.

Anyways, I’m hoping that everyone had a Merry Christmas, and a safe one as well. I don’t know why we always get so hectic around Christmas time when it should be a time for relaxing with the family, taking it easy and making each other understand how much we care for them. Ah well, I suppose that after new year’s eve is done and all of that, it’ll go back to normal and maybe we all won’t be so tired. That’s the hope, anyways.

The kids had a great Christmas, by the way, and they got some really cool gifts both from friends and family, as well as Santa Claus. I know that we won’t always be able to do a great big Christmas, but it’s nice being able to do that for them now as we’re almost a ‘real’ family. Won’t be long now and it’ll all be said and done. Anyways, I’m out for now, but I hope everyone has a safe week, and a safe new year’s. PLEASE!!! Don’t drink and drive.

I love you guys, and I wish you all the best.

Happy New Year,
