A Look at the Past Year

Well, here we are in a new year.  The past year was not the best in the world.  But here is what went on.

Moved out and sold the house that I had lived in the past 10 years.  Did not want to move, but really did not have a choice.  I miss having my stuff.  But I guess it is good that I am no longer there.  To many things to remind me of the past.  Just could not remove the pictures off the wall.  But we also got screwed by the sell.  Some one got more money then they should have, and it was not me or my ex.  My ex needs better friends.

Was taken in my friends brother.  It was great living there and trying to get back on my feet.  Thanks for letting me stay there for 8 months Dustin and Nina!

Went out and spent a few days with a girl that I served with in Ireland.  Had a good time and thought she was in my future.  Well she could not wait, and so in the middle of September she texted me it was over and that she was getting married in three days.  Wow.  Dumped by text, and she gets married.  Guess it really was not the perfect match she kept telling me we were.

Eaglegate is dead, well maybe.  Dad did not want to go on and do anymore runs.  The website is still up, but we are not making anything.  Still have people asking use when we are going to make more.

Moved in with my ex sister-in-law.  It was great.  Thought I was going to be able to find a job and maybe build up the bank account.  Great plan, until she went crazy or her therapist went crazy, I don't know.  But I was out the door and on the streets for 2 days.  Glad she is finally out of my life for good.  Now I don't have to hear her lies anymore.

I am very grateful for a church that was able to help me pay a few of my bills during this time.

My dad really came through and found me a great place to live.  I am happy were I am at.

Glad that I finally have a job.  OK, I am not making what I want, but the benefits are really good I guess.  Just can not use them right now.  And were to go.  But good to be back to work in a regular job.  Still wish Eaglegate would have worked out like I wanted it to.

So onto 2015!  Do not know where it will lead me.  But I hope it is a lot better than the past year or years.

After having a interview with a church leader last weekend, I am tired of people assuming that they know me.  That I keep on being told, I am make poor decisions in my life, when they have no I did what I have gone through or what I am dealing with now.  Really did not need this in my life right now, when in just a few weeks I come out of training and start my normal schedule for the next few months.

Feeling left behind

Over the past month I have been to two baptisms, two farewells and a home coming.  It reminds me of what I do not have in my life, children.  I also have had my 44th birthday, which I spent on my own.  My marriage of 22 years is gone, and I really have nothing to show that I am here. But I have been living some what an oddity in the Mormon Church.  Having been married for so long, with no kids, you just don't get the feeling that you are part of the church family.  I have set in many a Priesthood Class, hearing the teacher tell how special it is to be a father, and how closer to God you are.  I really have not made a lot of friends in these wards, because I have no  kids that are in the same Primary Class, Sunday School Class, or Mutual. It even feels like the newly married couple, when they do get pregnant, that they are now one up on me. A few years ago, our Ward did away with the Family Camp Out.  But what stayed were the father/daughter and the father/ sons camp outs.  For

My Political Life.

In 2008 I received a degree in Political Science from Arizona State University.  When I was think back in high school what I would major in, it was down to history and political science.  I did not see very many career opportunities.  With political science, I could see myself serving in the Government.   I really want to work for the State Department, hopefully in an embassy some where around the world.  Plus I always had been interesting in politics. In 1976 I wrote then, new elected Jimmy Carter a letter, saying so much congratulating him for becoming the President.  OK,  I was seven, and I thought it was great that a guy from Georgia, at that time the state next door to Tennessee, was President.  I got a note back from him, thanking me writing.  OK, so the signature probably was done by auto pin, and some how a chocolate stain got on it, probably from a fudge bar, this is still one of my priced pieces. All through school, I wanted to serve as one of the class reps to Student Co
