It will be a New Year in just a little under three days. I think it might be a good idea to look at some of the events in my life of 2006. These are slightly of a personal nature but, I think that one, everyone is going to take care of the real news events of 2006 and two, it is my website and I think sharing a little bit about myself with my readers will help you folks get to know me a little better. So here it is Michael Koby’s top 5 of 2006.

• 5) Almost, Not Yet – I had to include this website launching in this list did I not? May 24th, I posted the first post to Almost, Not Yet (www.mkoby.com) and thus began what will hopefully be a successful writing career. At almost 200 posts later, I am going strong with no desire to stop.

• 4) Power of Information Begins Airing – My good friend Derek has long wanted to have a technology based radio show and as long as I have known Derek he has wanted me to be his co-host. Well, in October of 2006, Derek and I met at his house to record the first episode of The Power of Information. The radio show airs on KCAA 1050AM in the state of California.

• 3) Sister Gets Engaged – On December 9th, 2006 Laura’s boyfriend of around 3 years, proposed while they were visiting friends in Austin. She said “Yes” of course and has begun what will probably be a wonderful engagement. Congratulations Laura!

• 2) Purchased First House – Right before April and I got married, we closed on our first house. Back in February of 2006 we closed, moved into, and settled into our what would be our first home. A quaint little 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with nothing but the future ahead of us.

• 1) April and I Marry – Yep, on April 8th, 2006 my beautiful wife and I tied the knot at a small little church in the small little Texas town of Simonton. A beautiful ceremony that was the perfect way to begin a new life together. April’s daughter (my step-daughter) was the flower girl and I had by boys (friends) next to me the whole time. I was told people cried at the ceremony.

And there you have it folks, the top five events in my life from 2006. I am not sure if this is the start of a tradition here, but only time will tell. Since I do not plan on going anywhere, I hope to have five even better things for 2007.
