2009
This year was interesting. It was a rollercoaster, of both negative and positive extremes. In summary, this year:
- I was robbed (so was my bestie), at 11:57 on NYE (should have known then, no?)
- I worked really, really hard.
- The economy tanked and then stayed crappy. For the whoooole year. It was depressing.
- I went to San Francisco, the Hamptons, Newport, NYC, Boston, and Maine.
- I lost my grandfather, but not until our whole family got to celebrate his 50 years of marriage to my grandmother.
- My aunt got married.
- I fell more in love with Chris then I ever thought possible.
- I fell out of touch with some friends, and learned a lot about the difference between real ones and not-so-real ones. It was sad, but I feel happy, content, and fortunate to have learned that lesson now rather then later.
- I lived by myself. Everyone should do that, even for just a year.
- I adopted a dog, and had to give it back. It really was the best decision I ever made: it wasn’t meant to be.
- I started this blog.
- I made some great new friends.
- I struggled. Financially, and emotionally, it was a tough year. Everyone should do that, too, even if for just a year. You learn a lot about yourself, and what you really NEED to be happy.
- Chris got laid off. It, too, was the best thing that could have happened to him. He was so unhappy.
- I got a new apartment with Jess. I now have another young old lady to keep me company.
- I turned the corner with some major family issues. Really, I just came to terms with things, but it feels good to be at peace and finally be confident that hey, it’s not me.
- I was really stressed and strung out. Sorry Chris!
- I spent more time with Dad (and Jen).
- I became 100% independent from my parents (re: I struggled). It felt really good, and it sucked really bad, at the same time.
- My dad got a new boat, and it’s awesome.
- I cut off all my hair. I miss it.
- I settled in to being a college GRADUATE instead of a college STUDENT, and I love it. I think I was born to be a grown up- I really appreciate being older rather then younger.
All in all, I’d say it was a pretty epic year, but I am more then ready to say adios to ‘09. For some reason, I feel great about 2010.
