I want to thank you for the love that you give me...

Okay, it's about a week over due but here it is. As another year goes by, I have to reflect on my life. I have to reflect on what's happened, what I did, and what I learned. Now keep in mind, I'd like to reflect on what has meant the most to me, positive or negative it may be. So in no particular order, the 24th year of my life (and of course not comprehensive).

1. Traveled more out of the country then ever in my life: Italy, Russia and Mexico (and Puerto Rico if you want to count that).
   
2. Married off both of my brothers to WONDERFUL women. I couldn't be more thankful. TWO NEW SISTERS!!!
   
3. Married off my best friend to one of my good friends. It was first time I was a maid of honor and let me tell you, I couldn't have been more lucky.
   
4. Three of my friends had children, one of them had twins! I'm so happy for you all.
5. Watched my dad preform in his new band. What a rock star even at 57!?
   
6. Had a coming to Jesus with friend that truly shocked me.
7. Got promoted to Marketing Manager at my job. Had (and have) the opportunity to have some report to me and make a team! Dennis rocks the house.
   
8. Finished over half of my MBA in Marketing. HELL YA.
   
9. Parker volleyball league champs.
10. Took two steps back with ANOTHER friend.
11. Got two new sisters (Penny and Molly, my parents cute English Cocker Spaniel Puppies) and became an auntie to Maya (Tim and Marina's baby Westie!).
    
12. Saw the Killers and Rascal Flatts (my two fav bands) for the third time.
    
13. Told two friends my honest real feelings and it backfired. At least one of them is still talking to me. Maybe being too honest is not the way to go?
    
14. Found two new favorite singers: Keith Urban and Kate Voegele.
    
15. Painted the outside of one house and the inside of two others.
    
16. Visited Vegas for the third time in my life for Amanda's bachelorette party and it was SWEET!
17. Went down a Black run on my snowboard. Thank God for my calves.
    
18. Got a concussion (not related to the Black run).
    
19. Went to Portland, Spokane, Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Nashville, Miami, and Puerto Rico for work! Favorite? Of course Puerto Rico.
    
20. Thought my mother was severely hurt. Thank GOD she is okay.
21. Paid off my Jeep.
    
22. Woke up and could see without my glasses. Thank you CRT lenses!
    
23. Threw two bridal showers (one for Marina and one for Amanda) and a housewarming party (MINE!).
    
24. Celebrated the new year in F ING RUSSIA!!!!!!
25. Moved technically two times but really three: From my amazing apartment > in with my amazing friend Leslie > in with my amazing parents > into my amazing house!!!
26. Bought my first house and it's so f ing AWESOME.
    

Like I said, not inclusive but it's what I could think of at this moment. Thanks everyone for making it ONE HELL OF A YEAR! Cheers to another!
