2015 Fist pump moments
« on: December 28, 2015, 08:31:30 PM »
As 2015 comes to an end it is time to reflect on the year that was. With all of the negatives, all of the tragedies this year I reckon it is worth sharing those moments you were FIGJAM, when you pumped your fist in excitement. Could be anything from finishing a jigsaw puzzle you started in 1975 or going an entire year without having to get your Jeep towed  >:D

For me there were a few fist pump moments.

1 Attending the World Cup final at the MCG and seeing the Aussies win
2 Completing my 15th year of work for my company
3 Starting, and finishing a half marathon
4 Shane Watson FINALLY retiring
SWMBO reminds me of a Prodigy song....
Driving - Mighty 89 2.8td Rodeo
Towing - Aussie Jays Big Red (with her DMax http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=33442.0)

1. Managed to get my youngest to progress to Year 2. Doesn't sound like much but she was very deaf and has been in serious learning support the last two years. A long way to go but a big step for her.

2. My oldest boy bought his first house in December at age 24.

3. Finally bought a new camper which is coming in late March.

This one made me smile. 2015 was great to finally meet you at Maldon.  Not sure on my fist pump moments but the year was alright and hopefully 2016 is new house and more camping.
