Happy New Year's!!!

Still can't believe this year is over. It seems like it just started! It's been an interesting year, that's for sure. Good things, not so good things, fun times, sad times, this year had it all! It seems like the older you get, time goes by faster. So, I definately thought that at 25 years old, my life would be a little different but I've finally learned that although making plans and goals is good, they almost always change and that's okay. Change isn't a bad thing! It can be hard at times but it's an opportunity to learn and grow as a person. My favourite thing this year, hands down has to be my nephew Brody. I LOVE him so much! He's just so much fun. I love spending time with him and playing with him. He's such a great baby! He's growing up so fast. I'm gonna miss him so much when I'm at school next year but he promised he'd Skype me every night. My second favourite thing from this year would be my trip to California with Natalie, Steve, and Lorelai. They're such great friends. I had so much fun with them and meeting their families. I wish I could go every year with them! It would be a great tradition. There are so many things that I enjoyed about this year. I got to spend the Summer at school and live with one of my bestfriends and we had some great times! I was in a relationship that ended up not being so great but I learned SOOOOOO much about myself that I have to look at it as a good learning experience. Being back at home for the Fall, I was able to be with Family. My parents sold their house (we'd lived there for 19 years), I worked at a movie theatre (loved it!) and tons of other things that were good. There were also things that were hard to get through but it's better to write about the things that were good, cause that's what we remember in the end. Of course we don't forget that we had hard times and it's good to remember how we got through them but we won't forget that we did have hard times so we don't always have to write about them all. As this year comes to an end, of course I've thought about all the things I would like to do next year. I've set some goals for myself that involve school, and work, and family. I've set smaller goals this year so that I won't forget what I need to work on. My main goal for 2009 is to set smaller goals and not worry about things I can't control.
I wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year's!!! Have fun with friends and family! Tell the people you love that you love them! Make this year a great year!!!
