Well, another Christmas has come and mostly gone. I got the first entry in my Doctor Who DVD collection among other things. I have to say that this year has been a good year. Today saw my parents down from Olds and my aunt was able to visit as well. A good time was had by all.
Probably the best surprise of the day was from Canada Post. I had called yesterday morning to arrange for new keys for our mailbox since the previous owners had not managed to get them to us. I was expecting them to call later this week with details on how to arrange for the keys. Instead, a fellow arrived at our door this morning and dropped off two shiny new keys for the mailbox. I was pleasantly surprised and I have to say that whoever did the deliver went above and beyond. It was much appreciated, however.
Essentially, that meant that we had full possession of our new house as of today since we now have all the keys and junk that go with it. We even have most of chaos worked out from the move.
In retrospect, 2007 has been a busy year. It came with two moves, a house purchase, a trip to Elgin, a trip to Albuquerque, picking up a roommate with two kids, my car is paid off, and that’s only the highlights. I think, though, when all is told, I’m much further ahead today than I was this time last year. I know saying this is like as not to jinx things but I think things are starting to come together.
Here’s to 2008 which is less than a week away and is likely to usher in just as many changes, hopefully all as good in the long run.
