What a hectic couple of months. Christmas and New Year's were a blast. We had a full house again. All the kids were home, and Chris proposed to Amanda on Christmas Eve. The Vegas trip (VBVIV) was a total blast. Work has been eventful to say the least as our school district's bond approval steps up with more new computers and servers coming in. The weather this past month has been bitterly cold. It has been difficult to get out and walk with the cold and ice being the issue. Currently, I am down 30 pounds since October. Hopefully February will be a little kinder to me. For my final thoughts this month, and in honor of President's Day in February, I would like to share some quotes from the Commander-in-Chief in the 1980's. President Ronald Reagan served for 2 terms, and had the highest approval rating of any sitting President since the polls came out. Whether you agreed or disagreed politically, no one can dispute Ron's integrity, patriotism, and true love for his family and his country. Enjoy these words of wisdom and a blast from the past from one of the best.
