It's long
Now that I've had a day or two to reflect about New Year's and what 2005 will mean to me, I have decided to post. But before I do that, I wanted to say a couple of things about Molly's wedding. Since I don't have a digital camera, I will have to post pictures when they become available. I was one hot sexy man though :-P.
We went up to Frankenmuth on Thursday after spending Wednesday night at Molly and Richie's house in Clarkston. Our father flew in from Tampa on Wednesday so we had dinner. Richie has never met my father so Matt and I wanted to make the environment more comfortable. It was a good night of conversation. Oh, and we watched a dvd of "Larry the Cable guy". Let me just say that it was HILARIOUS......
Thursday was the rehearsal dinner and set-up day. The hall was beautiful and it just hit home that in theory, I am not suppose to experience this. My mom did make the comment about how this will be me someday.. That yes, I will find that special person and the whole family will be just as supportive.. This was great to hear, so I'm looking forward to that day! :-)
Friday came and let's just say CRAZY.. We all got ready for the wedding. Started early on the jello shots and went from there. The actual ceremony was beautiful. The Pastor was great and the wedding was very simple. Not a ton of bullshit stuff was said. My sister wrote her own vows and I just started balling. For those that don't know, the three of us (Molly, myself, and Matt) are very close and have been through a lot together. Well, in her vows it was made apparent that her original hesitation with the concept of marriage was whipped away when Richie came into her life the second time. Yes, they have had their rough spots, but the communication is there!!! I'll end this with saying that I could have gone through that ceremony. Would have to change the whole man/woman thing, but that is about it. Very doable.. :-)
Reception time came and went. I was VERY intoxicated and enjoyed myself. I wanted to be drunk for midnight cause I didn't have anyone to kiss. My brother ended up meeting someone, so he was in her throat by midnight.. That is about the only thing I would have liked to see different about the evening. I don't even need sex! Yes, I'm very horny right now, cause it's been two months since I got off, but I can get past that. It was just hard to be the lone one. But, morning came and I heard stories about my dancing skills.. SCARY!!! I know that I danced almost the whole evening and didn't hold anything back. Why should I!! At least I didn't do anything that I would regret :-) We ate breakfast, chilled with family and friends, watched Molly and Richie open gifts, then left.
Now, I am back in my apartment with Mom and Matt and we are just chillin. Chilled and slept most of yesterday and watching football today. The Rose Bowl was a disappointment but at least UofM played well.
Well, this is long enough.. My goals for 2005 are:
1. Become more healthy physically and mentally. Yes, I need to lose some weight, but health is more than just how much one weighs. I've been tired lately and we are trying to find out why. Blood work came back a touch weird so my doc is looking into it more. I need to be happy with who I am and who I can become. Having someone will only make it that much better, but happiness has to come from within. I know what has to be done, so I pray to have the strength and will power to get that interstrength.
2. I need to get myself financially better set. Right now that means a second job, but eventually I need a new first job. This will come in time and I just need to persevere.
3. I want to meet more people and just build friends.
4. If it is meant to be, I would love to find someone special. They may already be in my life and we just haven't identified that. I'll be curious to see where 2005 leads me on this road.
Take care all and I'll talk to you soon.. HAPPY NEW YEAR and keep the Faith!!!!!
