A New Place to lay our Heads

As Kristin and I travel the one road, the long and winding road to God knows where, we have made another big monumental landmark in our new lives as a soon to be married couple.

Soon FOMAK's young and old, far and near, will be able to travel to Framingham Massachusetts and wine and dine at Mark & Kristin's new home. Actually neither us drink wine, so will serve you leomon-aide instead and play a rousing competitive full contact game of Scrabble.

The papers will be signed in September, just in time as my lease in my life in Watertown is about to end. Kristin will remain in RI until she sells her Condo and then she will move in with me, after we are married. Till then she will live with Mom and Dad.

We have already meet our neighbors who live next door. A nice older woman who likes teddy bears and the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Her son and husband also live with her. Betty, her son Randy and Joe or John her husband. They could end up being very good friends.

Before us Rhonda Ralings lived in our house. But saddly she has gone to her eternal reward. But we now continue the legacy of living in her house. When we get settled, you can continue the legacy of visiting the house. Afterall, I'm sure Ronda had guests.

First Real Blog Post in Years

I’m behind in life. My bills have piled up and I don’t take the time to actually pay them, although I do have the $ to do so. I have friends I haven’t seen in awhile I still need to get caught up with. My room still is not organizied the way I want it. Still things unpacked. I still have writings waiting to be written. I have a long letter explaining my life to those who are connected to my life. Gosh I’m somewhat of a mess. But I’m trying to change that.

I have successfully written something everyday for the first week and ½ of lent. Some days the writing was better then others. Today the writing is ok. I’m doing it. I’m about to post it. I wish I had kept up my writing over the years, leaving a journal for future generations to explore and read. How many electronic writings will be gone someday. How many more trees can be turned into books and paper?

I look back on the oppurtunities that I have had over the years. The missed oppurtunties. The lack of fullfilling certin dreams, goals and using my talents when I should have. Sometimes its really sad of what we could have been or done had we made other choices in life. If God allows me to live long enough maybe I’ll have a chance to fullfill the purpose of why I was born and came to this planet. It’s still possible. I still have time. May I not waste it.
