Happy Thanks Giving!
« on: November 27, 2008, 09:44:32 AM »
Wow what a year!  Everytime I think "uh oh, we had it this time", things seems to work out for me and mine.  Hurricanes, job changes, politics, children, relationships, family.  Heavenly Father just hasn't let a thing get to me.  Been lots of opportunity for it to happen but just aint no way!?  All my kids and I had strep and Honey turned out to be allergic to everyday common things.  My health took a bad turn just to amaze the doctors because it wasn't as bad as it should have been and now is better that ever with the worst part, the high blood pressure seemingly cured.  I was forcibly (meaning against my will, not physically) moved to a different department at work.  Kept my family home during the worst hurricane to hit Houston in 26 years and made money off the repairs and now I'll get my home remodeled off low interst money just before I have to sell.  It was like everyday had another "getcha" but for some reason we stand here unphased with all kinds of awesome things gained.  One of my jobs at work won international acclaim and ten of millions in new contracts for our company and it looks like I'll be promoted to Engineering Manager of the new office.  Somehow I put my oldest in private schools (where did the money come from for that?) where they say he is the smartest kid there (wow! what a Mom to teach him so well).  Conservative decisions that made me feel stupid because I wasn't growing my finaces as fast as retirement requires stayed untouched during this financial crisis and actually grew 20.3% (what!!!?), everyone else I know has lost money.  A few hundred dollars in investments 6 years ago is literally tens of thousands?  Any minute I'll wake up.

I'm really not bragging, I'm in shock.  Does any one what me to buy them a lottery ticket?
