I started to write a review of 2008 but damn it was boring. It felt more like a Christmas newsletter than a blog entry. So here's a brief(er at least) summary:
Beginning of '08: Took a sememster of school, met a half sister, Linda. She's so fantastic, what a blessing!
Middle of '08: Went to Seattle and Kevin met my Dad for the first time. They clicked. How could they not? Our Dad is freakin' hilarious! Linda's family went also and it was really neat to meet my nieces. They are so adorable and funny (14 and 17?). And of course, Linda's hubby Darin who is a Fire Chief as well. What are the odds? Oh, and it was Linda's first time to see Dad in 20+ years. That was a teary reunion.
Kevin made promotion and we had a big bbq and floated a keg. This needs to be an annual thing- the bbq at least.
Robert got married! Kevin and I went to Dallas to celebrate Robert's forever-union with Brak. It was beautiful and amazing. I couldn't be happier for them. Plus I'm proud of Kevin for going with me. :)
We took Aaron to Disney World in FL for the last time. He took a friend with him. It was so much fun; I love that place. Rollercoasters don't get any better than the Tower of Terror. I could ride that thing 20 times in a row. Kevin got tired of it before then.
Later '08: We went to SPadre for the sandcastle competition. Not that we were interested, but it was something to do.
Aaron went back to school and didn't do so well. His first girlfriend was a distraction, to say the least. :/ He's still a good kid and I hope he continues to make an effort.
We decided to sell the house. We haven't found "the one" but we know we are too far away from town to stay here longer.
Thanksgiving and Christmas I didn't get enough time with my family. I love them all to pieces and need to see more of everyone.
This year I made some fantastic friends that I think will be around quite awhile, and have really started to take the time to learn who my friends are. It's important for me to be happy with those that surround me and improve who I am.
Coming up in '09:
Seeing Linda & fam again
Seattle to see Dad again- this time bringing Aaron
Maybe a trip to Maine?
Hopefully a new house.
Regardless, I could not be happier with my life right now. Thanks to everyone who made 2008 the best yet. I really do look forward to carrying the happiness into 09 and making it an even better year.
The end.
