In less than a week�s time it will be my girlfriend and I�s first anniversary. We�ve been able to get through some rough times all for the better. I have gone from a man without a car to the man who can�t drive enough. I�ve gone from the man wondering how many hours he was going to get cut, to the guy who get a promotion and extra hours at work. The turn-around in my life has been complete. I�ve gone from bad times to good times... and I�m glad. The bad times taught me to appreciate the good times all the more.
