Year End Review First off, Happy New Year!
I am glad to see another year starting myself. 2007 has been more aggravating, more stressful, more challenging than any I can remember. We started with moving from Alaska to WA, we are ending with us (ie: ME) still settling in and finding my feet. It wasn’t all bad, there were good things. A friend taking in people he’d only known from the internet, and giving us a place to stay for a while. Getting our own house on base. Bringing a new dog into the family.
It has also brought with it many financial difficulties, which we are closer each day to overcoming at tax time.
I have watched my oldest daughter turn into a full fledged teenager. I’ve seen her starting to have less angst, be less of a drama queen and even be less moody. I’ve seen her sister enter the stage she just started ending.
I’ve seen friends here I thought I wouldn’t see again, however brief it may have been. I’ve seen anthills the size of a 4 year old.
But I’m ready to see 2008 begin, and pray for a smoother year and a light at the end of the tunnel. In the mean time I’ll watch this CSI marathon, and wait.

Year End Review Not much happened in 2005 until recently. So, I’m basically reviewing the last 4 months of it I guess.
- Hunny deployed
- I discovered my independence
- I lost 22 pounds, putting me back at my weight of 118 (Pre Alaska weight)
- I discovered I like who I am better than who I thought others would like
- I went redhead, something I wanted forever, but never had the courage to go for
- I did major repairs on our truck
- My eyes turned green
It’s been challenging, but so far I’ve survived it in tact. Even when uttering a simple sentence ( I miss my husband) brought on a response of “Suck it up”, I returned fire like I used to and put the hag in her place. As I look forward to 12:00am January 1st, I think of just how much that one minute means in my life. I’ll be saying good bye to the year that I said good bye to my hunny, and welcoming with open arms the year he’ll return. I’ll be picking up a bottle of Jack Daniels tomorrow to celebrate that.
My resolutions this year?
- Be ME, whether people like it or not (as my hunny says, fuckem if they can’t take a joke)
- I will not take shit from ANYONE.
- I will stand up for myself, and what I believe in, against anyone regardless of the potential fallout.
