The whole family came for Christmas since we couldn’t travel. It was a blast, but I’d rather not have to repeat the reason!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That kind of speaks for the entirety of 2016. It was a blast, but there are a bunch of things in there I really don’t want to repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I do want to repeat is the travel! We took separate trips to Point Clear, AL; Destin, FL; Texas City, TX; Lake Travis and Waco, TX; Colorado Springs; Lake Louise and Banff, Canada; Keystone, CO; Denver; and Las Vegas. And that doesn’t even count our travels within Louisiana and Mississippi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We lost Peggy’s Mama and we found a new church. Those two things are related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peggy worked with some amazingly talented people on several movie and television projects. Some of them have even aired already. It’s just a little weird seeing your wife on a television show you’re watching, but it’s pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our city endured racial unrest and violence followed by a devastating flood. Watching people come together to combat both events was amazing, but the pain of the year will last well into the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, did I mention the travel? Some of it is work-related and I do not spend a lot of time blogging about work, but the travel is one of the real perks of my job. Especially because Peggy usually gets to go with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knows what 2017 will bring? Well, we know it will bring ankle rehab, but what else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m looking forward to finding out. Happy New Year everybody!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my friends sent an awesome care package with all the essentials: LSU shirt, chips, salsa, tequila, magazines, and even a Baylor cup for Peggy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
