Year in Review

What a year it has been. Full of all kinds of ups and downs. It's been an interesting ride.

This year:
1. I have moved around the country. (Los Angeles to Chicago, then to Raleigh, N.C.)
2. Been away from a state I called home for 13 years.
3. Had the worst boss I've ever had.
4. Got a different job, which is one of my favorite jobs.
5. Got divorced (well on paper)
6. Fell in love
7. My cat Loki passed away, first cat I ever owned. I still miss him.
8. I haven't seen my dogs in a year, they are with my ex in California.
9. Touched snow for the first time in 13 years.
10. Gained weight, finally in a normal weight range for my height.
11. Got cake on my birthday, first time in many years.
12. Got my first Christmas tree since 1995!!!! (that's just wrong)

There are things that happened this year that I will take with me for the rest of life. I have been happier than I remember being this year. I have cried and been sad this year. But with all it's ups and downs, I've enjoyed it so much. Thank you to my friends and the people I love that had stood by me and helped me when I needed it. I hope the new year brings more adventure, but I wouldn't mind if it won't be quite as stressful.

Happy Holidays.
