2013 recap

2013 brought lots of changes in my life.  Probably the single biggest change was my divorce.   It was final in August sometime.  In the 9 months it took to become legal, I started dating again.   The first 4 or 5 dates were awful.   I finally asked out the girl I've had a crush on since I moved to California and she said yes.   We have been dating ever since.   :)  I even took her home to meet my family.  They all like her.

2013 brought new friends thanks to the Modesto MeetUp.   It's amazing how filing life is when you have friends that you can lean on and have fun with.  

I made 2013 the year to get fit.  I run now, I actually enjoy it as it's a release from the stress of work.   I ran six 5K races, and placed in 2 of them in my age class.

I go to the gym at least 2 times a week.  I found an aerobic dance class I like on Monday evenings and the other day I lift weights.

I'm not sure why there is snow falling in this picture, but it bad ass.   This is my place in the mountains I go to be alone.  It's called Pinecrest Lake.

Last but not least, I had to say goodbye to Baby Girl. She developed cancer, and I couldn't afford to care for her.   I miss her everyday.   She was such a great dog.
