Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009.

It’s the new year, so I figured I should blog.

2008 was a crazy year, and it was full of new adventures:

I got married

I graduated college

I started a “real” job

I got my first tattoo

I (we) remodeled our condo

I inherited a fat cat

Started a business

And I am sure there are more, but those are just the major events. All in all, 2008 was a fulfilling year that seemed almost magical??? (Don’t know if that is the right word but it will have to do). A lot of the major events in my life that I have dreamed about since I was a little girl, occurred during the past year. There is nothing I would have changed about my 2008.  Since meeting Brandon, he has taught me not to regret anything. I may have done things differently (like waited a few more months to get married so I wasn’t so stressed out with school and what not) but I definitely don’t regret anything.

When I talk to people about 2008 most of them complain about the economy or the weather, and  hope that 2009 will be better. I hope so too, but I am not too sure that things will change drastically in one year. I do have a few “goals” for the new year, and would like to share them with you:

1. Go on vacation to the east coast for a week or more

2. Read more books

3. Pay off debt

4. Get a raise

5. Brandon and I will move to D.C. and B will go to GMU (This is technically Brandon’s goal but I hope that it happens)

I have other small goals, but I am leaving 2009 pretty open. I am starting to learn to be okay with change and will be okay with whatever gets thrown my way in the next year.

I hope you all had a memorable 2008 and wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR full of good health and prosperity!
