My Year In Review
A lot of websites, news programs and magazines recap the year that was during this time of year. Here is my recap of 2011 and the things that made an impact on my life this year:
Family
-
My younger sister and her husband moving back home after 7 years
-
My mom fully recovering from her suddent illness
-
Watching my 3 nephews learn and grow each day. They say and do the funniest things and they make my life much richer
Friends
-
My friends are the best. They are here for me no matter what is going on. They listen to me complain, they cheer me up when I’m sad and they celebrate my happy times
-
New friends and friends I have grown closer to this year
-
Ending long friendships because they’ve shown their true colors
Work/School
-
I started 2011 unemployed. I was feeling depressed and hopeless. But in April I started working again, and even though this job isn’t all I dreamed it would be, I am thankful I have one
-
Getting a significant raise at said job only 7 months later
-
Graduation! I now have an MBA!
