I'd just like to share with everyone the top eight things that happened to me this year.
1. The adoption of Scratch. He has brightened my life more than anything else in the world. The first day when I brought him home he was so scared all he did was hide under a chair and meep. Now he is sleeping in my lap. I couldn't have asked for a better ending.
2. The discovery of TCS. The second day of Scratch's adoption wasn't going well, so I went online and found this wonderful site through Google. I couldn't have made it without you guys!
3. My new job. Last year at this time I was working for the worst company in the world. One year ago today I got the phone call telling me I got the job. It was the best decision I've ever made.
4. Renewal of my vows with my husband. He is my rock. I'd marry him again in a heart beat. I married my best friend.
5. 8-Bit's antics. I've been depressed most of my life. It sucks. But God gave me a gray kitten that seems to make me laugh every day. In my darkest moments I think about 8-Bit giving my bra as a gift to my Mom, and I laugh out loud.
6. Learning to let go. This is the first year of my life that I've realized I can't control all that goes on around me. I've learned this lesson first from Scratch and second from my SIL. It's a powerful one to learn, but it's been helpful.
7. Baking a pie that failed. Baking has taught me many things. The first and foremost is that if I fail at something that it's okay.
8. I am turning into my Mom, and that's okay. My Mom is one of the coolest people on the planet.
