My Year End Review

I went to bed last night at 02:30 hours and got up this morning at 10:00 hours. I got out of bed and got changed into street clothes and then went up to Elizabethville to the Wal-Mart hiring center and filled out an application. After I was done I headed on home. Once at home I read the paper. I then ate lunch while I got on the PS2 and played Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories. I also ate dinner while I played on the PS2. I got off at 18:00 hours and got changed into my uniform for the night. LeeAnn called and said that if my mom wanted to make her famous fudge to bring tomorrow night that would be good. I then put my boots on and got in my car and ran into Giant and got a jar of peanut butter for the fudge and headed back home. I had just walked in my room when the pager went off for back pains in Halifax Borough. I got back in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got there and Carol had 13-2 pulled out already. I parked my car and got in 13-2 and off we went. We got the guy loaded up and took him down to Holy Spirit Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. Once at the station, I logged my time in and then did my paperwork from the call. I then headed on home. I am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy laides want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.

Now on to my Year End Review.
The year 2006 did not start out to good for us. First our fridge broke, followed by my father having a flat tire on his truck, and then our well pump broke, and that was all within the first week of January. The rest of January was quiet, and so was February for the most part. Then came March. March 9th, saw the destruction of 4 row homes on South Second Street in Halifax, one of the largest fires in recent history. A few weeks later they had a rail car fire. May saw my being barred from driving the ambulance, and it also saw me turn 21. June saw me take second place for Best Appearing Special Unit at the Dauphin County Firemen's Convention with the Utility. The rest of the year was unremarkeable. I met the Casey's in August at the Halifax Firemen's Carnival. My brother turned 30 in September. October saw my father quit the ambulance after giving 25 years to them. November saw us eat Thanksgiving out for the first time in years. December 1st saw a tornado rip through the Triangle are of Halifax, creating a a 8 mile long stretch of destruction. December also saw our first annual fire company chirstmas party. I won most improved firefighter, top responder third place, and most trainings second place. It also saw the first christmas at my grandparents house where we did not exchange gifts. This also marked my second year of playing Santa Christmas Eve with the fire company. It marked my first year playing Santa for the fire companies annual Santa meeting. And now another year is drawing to a close. I have started driving the ambulance home from the hospitals and soon should be approved to full driver status. The year 2007 will bring many unknowns. One of the knowns will be a Wal-Mart in Elizabethville. I want to wish everyone a very happy and safe New Year!
