Farewell 2008
Yes, I know, it’s January 10th :/ Most of the blogs I read that had an end of year post managed to have it up by the end of New Year’s Day. I finally kicked myself in the pants and decided to write a post here *before* I started working on other stuff. In my defense, Andrea & I have been re-distributing our respective workloads. To that end, I have been more actively involved in writing on one of our other blogs.
2008 started out a bit mixed. In the first 3 months, I had a couple of trips to the hospital, we closed on our house in Miramichi, my brother was diagnosed with and had emergency surgery for brain tumors, and my Grandmother passed away.
In my post a year ago, I said I was looking forward to 2008. Overall, it was a much better year than 2007.
It definitely ended on a solid note because I was working at home for almost all of the last 4 months of the year. Andrea & I have had quite a few people say to one or the other of us that they couldn’t imagine working with their spouse. Oddly enough, overall Andrea & I get along much better when we are together most of the time than we do when we are working apart. What I find a bit strange about that is that it isn’t a result of us having less disagreements. Instead, it might be that of the amount of time we spend together, much less of it is spent on disagreements.
In any event, I am looking forward to 2009 and spending most of my days working, playing, learning and relaxing with my family.
Happy New Year, Ron!

Christine and I owned a small retail store a few years ago, and I was really surprised at how well things went when we worked together, and it was pretty fun, too. I’d love to do something like that again someday if the financial part could work out for us.
