Here's to 2008, Looking Forward to 2009
Posted by Lance Smith
For many, 2008 was a very bad year--one they'd like to forget. For us, it was the most beautiful year of our lives. This past Monday, December 29th, 2008, our two boys were born at 2:15 and 2:17 a.m. What a blessing! Being preemies, they have had a few issues, but they're doing much better as I write this and hopefully we'll all be home together soon. I can't even express how beautiful the boys are--they are more precious and wonderful than I ever imagined. I am the proudest father in the world. My boys are so sweet and wonderful. I want to be with them every minute.
To top off the year, Aaron and I got accepted to speak at CFUnited in August, and just got ColdFusion 8 certified today! Nothing like waiting until (literally) the last minute! But, better late than never! I am now officially a "ColdFusion Expert". What a great feeling. I highly recommend the CF8 Exam Buster software for studying--it is a Godsend.
I am looking forward to 2009 with great anticipation, hoping things continue on a positive track for our whole family. I'm looking forward to immersing myself in the CF community, and being the best dad I possibly can. And, if anyone knows where I can get my hands on some of those "Future CF Developer" infant Tees from MAX, I'd greatly appreciate it!
