I received some great news today and would absolutely love to share it with you. I use my blog to record important events like this, because as I mentioned when I started this blog; We go about our daily lives "Facebooking," not realizing that our lives are being shared daily with our friends and family. There are times we wish to reflect on the past, especially the good times, and before you know it, it's gone. We share things with people we don't know in the physical sense, yet they are there to listen. We share things with the people we love, yet they seem to forget.
Countless times I have attempted to remember what I've posted on Facebook and what I've told the people I love or the great discussions we've had. And it's difficult to go back and reflect on all the good that's happened in our lives, or all the drama that's made us laugh. In order for me to go back I have to keep clicking that "older posts" link, without a date, without a tag, without no way of searching for that special moment I wanted to remember forever.Well... the awesome news I want to share with you is....
I'm receiving a promotion, with a 15% increase in pay and I'm absolutely ecstatic about it. This is such great news at a time when I was worrying about our staffing issues at work. People seem to be dropping like flies around here. Yes, some leave because they are over-worked, really stressed-out, asked to do jobs they were not hired to do, but others leave because they're able to find greater jobs here at MD Anderson, so they make lateral moves. But being that I have worked in Breast Oncology for such a long time (9 years to be exact), I have stood my ground for the past four years, exceeded in areas I never thought I could achieve, and have proven to be a leader in our department. This holiday season will be mine and Ryan's greatest holiday to date, and I am so grateful he has stood by my side for the past 6-1/2 years and will continue to enlighten me every moment of every day. I couldn't have done this without him. I couldn't.I know I rant on my blog on a daily basis, but it's more than just ranting. I like sharing. I like sharing my opinions with happiness, my happiness with heart, but most importantly, my heart with all of you.
Thank you for reading my blog and enjoy your holidays this season.

Who the f&@# is this? I am talking to David Mackey, right? TDM? He doesn't do all this mushy shit!
LOL True, ok he is lucky to have ME
I'm glad you chose to share this special moment of yours with everyone, my love. Like I said in a comment earlier this week, or last week maybe, this blog is much more than just hot boys, gross food and politics, politics, politics. It's about you and me and the glorious life that we've shared together for the past 6 1/2 years. Moments like this is what especially makes your blog an excellent thing. When we're both old men, we can now go back in time by just revisiting certain blog dates, and share memories together like when you finally got the raise that you've greatly deserved for the longest time. I'm so happy and so proud of you, my love. No one deserves this more than you, and I can't wait to spend this weekend celebrating either. It's gonna be great. Love you bunches and enjoy your day.
