Getting married is also one of the main events of 2010 for me. It hasn't really changed me or anything about our relationship, but it was still a wonderful day. Beautiful weather for us as well, though a little on the warm side. We have beautiful pictures of all our friends and family all together. No one fought and people in my family who have not spoken to each other in years were able to at least be civil to one another on my behalf. That was probably one of the best gifts they could have given me.
My graduate advisor was offered an amazing job with the Mars corporation, causing her to leave California and move half way across the country. Due to power play BS from some snakes in the department, this great event in her life forced me to withdraw from the program. I miss my advisor, she was a great friend and confidant.
Having medical insurance has been a big change. It is unbelievable how much stress that removes. im2smrt4u has been able to get a lot of his ailments seen to and that has made his life, and thus mine, more enjoyable. Soon his congestion and snoring issues may be fixed as they have found he has a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates and tonsils the size of walnuts and plan on doing surgery in the near future. Amazing how feeling better physically will change how you feel mentally.
On a sad note, one big change for me near the end of the 2010 year was the passing of my old girl scout leader and mother of my life long friend. My best friend, who I have known since we were 4, lost her mother to cancer in November. My best friend has been unbelievable strong through it all and continues to amaze me with her perseverance. I love you, sis!
