Well, I noticed on the 24th that is was a year ago I had my gall bladder surgery. (It never writes, calls, texts, emails, anything) Although I still have some stomach problems, removing the gall bladder did help. That’s been the only time I can remember taking an entire week off from work and laying on the couch.

The other anniversary always falls on Brianna’s birthday. I started college the morning she was born. I went to my first class, and came back to the news I was an uncle again. I still remember driving up to Mayville to see her. So it has been 10 years that I’ve been at the campus in one form or the other.
