The best of 2010

Hellooo all! I’ve dropped by for the second time in months to list my 2010 highlights, here is the best of the best that has kept me smiling all year!

#1 - NEW JOB! I hoped, I prayed, I cried and begged the universe to send me a new job, and it happened this past year! I was able to get away from environment that was extremely bad for me and negative and ended up working for one of the best companies in the world (in my opinion!). It really could not have happened any better, either. I was laid off of Doom Island on Sept 30th, got a little mini vacation, and started my first day of work on Nov 30th. I even had a little extra severance pay as a bonus, it was amazing!!!

#2 - I moved in with Kevin. This was a choice that brought me a lot of internal conflict over the summer. I was excited, but worried - I had never lived with someone I was in a relationship with before, not to mention a boy. I didn’t even grow up with a brother in my house so my Dad was it and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I also didn’t know how it would affect our relationship, but it has been amazing. I am so happy I did it and so grateful for our relationship.

#3 - My sister moved to Chicago! We hadn’t lived in the same city since I was 17 (10 years ago, yikes) and I couldn’t be happier to have her back, living less than a block from me nonetheless.

#4 - This was my second year tutoring with Casa Central, the longer I work with the kids there the more attached I am to them. Working with Casa is a huge point of pride for me. I am proud of myself for taking the step to sign up two years ago, and for sticking with it every Wednesday since then, and most of all I am proud to be a part of such an amazing organization. It has been one of the best experiences I have been a part in Chicago.

What amazing things happened to you over the past year?
