Year in Review

Sitting down in front of the computer, I wanted to reflect on the year and come up with some "highlights" that best represent my year.

* Realized to get to a better place you have to trudge through some bad places

* Understand that these bad places made me into a person I am proud to be

* Sat in a room in solitary and felt the weight of the world taken off my shoulders

* Sat in the same room and shook my head and cried like a four year old

* Watched my friend Kori create a new family through the birth of her wonderful son

* Watched Melissa continue to be super-mom with one of the funniest kids I know

* Watched my nephew hit several home runs during a baseball game

* Spent some lazy days with my parents

* Survived the toughest teaching year of my career

* Completed my Introduction to Research class that will leave me one class away from a MASTERS degree

* Practiced Forgiveness

* Found hope in the only place there is any

* Purchased one of the coolest dogs ever

*GOT ENGAGED

I am looking forward to a new year and have expectation that it will be a great year. I look forward to bettering myself and continue to become the person I was meant to be!
