Kiss me at midnight

I cannot believe the year 2008 is almost over. I remember when it first began: I was in Heppner with Craig, really upset, really drunk, really wishing I could disappear. Let's just say it was an interesting New Year's Eve. A lot has happened since then, as outlined below.

Falling in love: Good.
Being laid off: Bad.
25th birthday party: Good.
Family trip to Michigan: Good.
Roadtrip to Montana: Good.
Economy: Bad, bad, bad.
Sex and the City movie: Good.
Renee's 21st birthday: Bad.
Celebrating Renee's 21st birthday: Good.
Golf tournament weekend in Heppner: Good.
Politics: Bad.
Valentine's Day: Good.
Cougar football: Bad.
Reaching mid-20s: Bad.
Keeping up with friends: Good.

Looking back on this list made me realize that my years usually revolve around either personal success or professional success, but not both. For example, in 2008 I lost my job but found the man of my dreams; in 2007 I excelled in my position at work but had an up-and-down love life; 2006 is when I landed my dream job while blindly enduring the most destructive relationship I've ever been in.

Hopefully 2009 will be my year to have it all.
