Another year has almost past...

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

Good, bad, and/or wacky. TPF 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.





You?

Good for me:

discovered Balenciaga & Chanel

Bad for hubby:
discovered Balenciaga & Chanel


No seriously...it was an OK year. Nothing fabulous. Hubby made his highest income yet so that was a great celebration! Otherwise just another year! Oh...and I got my Masters degree!

Bad: my college football team stunk this year!

I have to say that I'm really glad the year is almost over. It's been really tough.

The good: Had a new baby boy
Got in touch with a lot of old friends
Really figured out who my real friends are (when bad things happen you really find out who's there for you)

The bad:- My younger brother was killed in Iraq (the worst and definatley hardest thing I have ever faced) I still feel like I can't really face it.

this has been a year of HIGH highs and LOW lows.

AMAZING
my nephew and niece were born this year
my dog came into my life
my relationships with God, my husband and my family are stronger than ever.
i met some amazing new friends
we're buying a house
i finally confronted a lot of issues in my life and for the first time i feel like i'm living life the way God intended it.....completely and gratefully!

HORRIBLE
my brother/best friend passed away in february. it has eclipsed and influenced every other event that's happened since then....and will for the foreseeable future, i'm sure.
i've spent more time in the hospital this year than i like to admit
i got in a car accident in october with continued ramifications

i hope next year is a bit more stable.

not many bad things have happened to me this year. nothing major anyways. money got a little tight for a while but that should be over soon.

My life has been so uneventful in 2007 that I can't even believe a year has gone by. I did move back home to New Orleans right at the end of 2006, and I am very happy I did that. But nothing really notable has happened in 2007 that I can think of.

I'm really sorry to hear about all the bad things that have happened to so many though this past year.
