Yesterday

Yesterday was an important day, my friends. And so I want tell you why.

Five years ago yesterday two important chapters in my life began.

May 18, 2004, I was admitted to the bar of the State of Washington, and began my career as a lawyer.

That night to celebrate, I took a beautiful woman out to dinner to celebrate. It was my second first date with her. And lo and behold, we ended up married and expecting a child. Yes. Amber and I have been together now five years.

Wow.

And god bless her for putting up with me as long as she has. LOL

Things here haven't improved as much as I'd like - Dad is home from the hospital, but there's a lot to do, and everyone is stressed to the max. I'm emotionally and spiritually exhausted. And it's going to end up a LONG summer. But I haven't given up. And I won't. I did put on little more than a pound last week, but it'll come off this week.

I'm getting back into a normal exercise routine, and working hard to NOT get discouraged. Basically I'm holding onto my positive attitude - and praying that's enough to get me through.

The Disney Feud helps.

So does AATM.

And my blog - and your comments.

And Amber.

And of course - the Bean.

MAIN STREET AWAITS!

Congratulations on both your anniversaries! Both are huge events and both should be treasured. It sounds like Amber is your best friend and that is so important to get through the ups and downs of life. When anyone asks Kevin or I how we have stayed together for all this time, both of us say that we married our best friend. Hang in, it will get better!!

Keep up the good fight, Jonathan. As an old mentor of mine used to always tell me during the tough times "this too shall pass...."

It's the tough times that give us our strength.

Congratulations on the 5 year milestones!

Congratulations on the anniversaries! Isn't it amazing what can happen in five years?

Hold tight to those you love and you'll get through these tough times.

Make sure you don't get too down on yourself and keep doing whatever you have to in order to stay healthy!
