A Year Ago...

A year ago today I was packing up my house.

A year ago today I was beyond excited for a new direction in life.

A year ago today I was sad to leave my friends that I had met and who had become my family.

A year ago today I was scared to start over at a new job.

A year ago today I was stoked I wasn't going to ever have to use StudioManager again.

A year ago today I was pondering what a week-long trip in an RV with two dogs and a man would be like.

A year ago today I was lamenting that had I not dicked around for the year before that, I would have enjoyed the kitchen I (and lots of friends) helped me get finished up so I could sell. And someone else got to enjoy.

A year ago today I was worried that maybe I won't find a buddy to go to the mountain with. (I MISS YOU ROBIN)

A year ago today I was bummed that I wouldn't get to have grill outs with Kevin and Anne.

A year ago today seems so long ago.. and at the same time feels like it was just last month.

So now I have some reflections on what's happened in the the last year...

This year I quit a job and took a new job.

This year I moved across country.

This year I bought a house with my husband.

This year I didn't freeze my ass off.

This year I learned about "allergies"

This year I learned that there is a big difference between working at a design studio and working at an ad agency.

This year I got married to the best guy I could ever hope to be married to.

This year I ended up with a second dog.

This year I didn't have to scrape ice off my car.

This year I didn't have to let my car warm up for 15 minutes before leaving to go anywhere.

(sensing a theme here?)

This year Suki didn't have to wear MuttLuks or a furry jackets. (I'll admit.. I was a little sad. But now she has a sassy rain coat!)

This year I've met some great friends that I hope to have when I'm old. (PruVallens Rock!)

This year I've become really good friends with people I didn't really know that well.

This year I've learned how to "compromise"

This year I have declared war on all "outdoor" cats.

This year I will not let the goldenrod become 9 ft tall.

This year I will spend alot of time in my "pre-owned" hot tub.



So, you see? So far so good. More to come. I'm turning 35 next month so I have lots of deep thoughts on that.

A year ago I had KOA's mapped out, map-quested and reserved all across this great land. I'd do it all over again.
