2008 review

I got this survey-ish thingy off a friends blog. Its a great Idea so here you have it. Its close enough to the end of the year I think I can sum it up :)

2008 In Review :


1. How did you start out 2008? At my Aunt Dee's house, puting hard labor into a house so well worth it. I was so proud of her to finally be somewhere she wanted to be. We were having fun ( well most of us ) and laughing and talking and working. In my mind I was what I beleived to be happy. I was surrounded with true people. People I love to call my friends, and family.

2. What was your status? Mike and I married for almost 8 years, with one perfect lil girl. We were living what we thought to be our dream, had a beautiful home, nice things, and thought we had it all together.

3. Any changes in 2008? HUGE changes in 2008. Things I couldnt have predicted wouldnt want to have thought of, but now being at the end am so glad have happend. Mike and I were seperated for 4 months. It was alot of miss communication, miss understandings and a whole load of emotions on a crash. We found ourselves but that led us back to each other. We have lost everything matieral wise in our lifes. Our business, our home, our credit worth, and our car. We gained each others renewed trust love and discovered that were 2 stubborn people who didnt see/listen to what each wanted. We moved to our apartment, downsized all we own and Mike came off the road!!
I lost the connection my bestest bro and to this day it hurts. There's been huge changes and I am not sure if they will be fixed or can be or want to be. But Im praying hard!!
Madaya turned 2 - is potty trained, and growing like a week to us. I decided to work on me. Im going to have LapBand surgery and am working hard in that direction.

4. Most loyal friend of 2008? Wow - Unfortunatley its a tough question. My always best everythign, bro, was there each and every step of the way through my personal hell.... then for reasons that I am still unsure of on both sides things got sticky when Mike and I recouped... its on the mend now and for that alone I beleive were both loyal. Time will tell. I do have some pretty awesome people who have been here to pick up my peices and show me what unconditional means. Mike has been loyal! beyond.


5. Best decision made in 2008? Stop living what I thought to be " our dreams " , and finding what I really wanted! and to TRY ( try is very complex apparently ) to let go of those that are only giving me greif. To put me infront of others for a few moments and realize I need to be at my best, to be the best to others!

6. Worst decision made in 2008? Um.... lets scratch this. It hurts to recall.

7. Song for 2008? Realize by Colbie Callait would sum ALOT up!

8. Any new friendships for 2008? Yes, Im so thankful for Karen!

9. Most memorable moment for 2008? Theres been sooooo many. I really have been blessed through everything!

10. Funniest Moments of 2008? Gosh - Madaya is a ball of funniness each and every day... theres so much really! ( read through the blog! )

11. How will you end 2008? Well Mike just got laid off so... our plans, have cancelled But i hope with those who we love and admire who better to ring in the new year with?
