2007, A Year In Review...

Another year has almost past...

What are some of the moments of 2007 that are most memorable for you?

Good, bad, and/or wacky. TFP related, on-line, and/or in real life...


For me:

The Good:

Really, REALLY enjoying my job.
Made time to see my friends I hadnt seen in years.
Went to London over the summer and loved it.
Paid off my car.
Lost 20 pounds.


The Bad:

My great-uncle lost his battle with cancer and died in March.
My grandma spent a significant time in hospital and isnt ever going to fully recover.
Constant overwhelming fear of failure.




You?

Good:

- School all year, it's been a shitload of fun
- When this year is over, I'll finally be done with school and I can move out of my parents' house.
- Started recording online radio show with my best friend. Started as an hour show shared with friends over myspace, and now has a pretty robust website behind it and actual listeners who aren't just a handful of our immediate friends and past guests.



Bad:

- School ALL YEAR. I do love it, but holy shit it's relentless.
- Was sick for a solid month, then off and on a lot for the month that followed. It was not good. I lost like 20 pounds in a month, which is not healthy even if you're losing weight on purpose.
- Liked a chick a hell of a lot. Didn't tell her how I felt and lost her. Got interested again, told her how I felt, was happy for a bit, lost her a second time. It hurt a lot more the second time.

The Bad

Dave has made 7 trips to 4 different countries and 2 different states and been gone a total of 5 months of the year

I have had the worst year health wise ever...3 broken teeth, 2 broken ribs, pnuemonia for 2 months and 3 months of thinking I was being attacked by misquitoes and finding out it was an allergic reaction to my BC pills

The good

I finally got a pair of black pearls (I've been wanting a pair since I was a little girl)

Dave

We got to take Amanda on her first family vacation (Me her and Dave)

Dave

I have not missed or been late on one single car payment and it has earned me a credit card (Havent had one since 1999) so now I can relax a little about "emergencies"

Dave

Hosted my first family (for Dave's family) Thanksgiving and it went off fantastically

Dave

Dave and his best friend finally are being friends as adults and making my life a little easier by not wanting to choke the life out of said best friend everytime I see him

Dave

I made some amazing discoveries in my genealogy research AND have started a successful forum where others are being helped in great ways

and finally...Dave

above all else, and no matter how long he's been gone, he's been the best part of my year

--Saw part of my extended family, including my grandma for the first time in over a decade over summer

Good:
Moved in with ratbastid and lurkette
Best sex of my LIFE (wheeeeee!)
Should be divorced by the end of this year
Handling my own divorce, paperwork and all, and being very proud (will be more so when it's ACTUALLY DONE)
Lost a little weight
Got my mom back in my life
Learned to stand up for myself
Work's getting better
Passed the GRE
Every day, really, falls under "good"

Bad:
Ex's grandmother has been really sick and may not last the year... I love her so much and she's the only reason I get sad about my break-up
Money's tight but should ease up soon
Screwed up my divorce paperwork and had to refile everything, thereby giving myself a massive panic attack and losing a lot of sleep

Honestly, this has been the best year I can remember. I'm healthier, calmer, happier, and easier to be with. A lot of that has to do with being in absolute stupid love with the two best people I've ever met, and knowing that I'm loved right back. Having that with me at all times has helped me make some decisions and face some fears that I never thought I could manage in the past. Yay!

Good:
Went back to school.
Learned a lot about life than ever before.
Fell in love for the first time.

Bad:
Got hurt a lot more than I expected in matters of heart (the first love).
Procrastination ruled over sheer luck when it came to getting things done.

Super Good:
After being hurt, comes the ability to move on.
After temporary loss of confidence, comes a new wave of positive attitude.
People who know me closely cannot believe how much my attitude towards everything has changed. For the better.


Would I have wanted this year to happen, had I knew what it was going to be like? Hell YES!
