The Reflective one

I've been trying to sit down to write a reflective post but am having troubles.

2008 was an incredible year with everything that happened. Bunnyrat, new job, new boyfriend, new job, travel, vacation planning. It truly was fantastic. I don't know how far I can get into it.

I finally feel comfortable in life and comfortable in my own skin and I think it shows to others and through my accomplishments. My home continues to feel more like home, it's so cozy. Ryan kinda informally moved in this year. One day we were talking about moving in, I said it was too soon, and then he just never went home. It kinda happened, ha, ha. I enjoy it though, we help eachother. It's a new concept to me. I'm used of being the caretaker, but it's nice to see it in return and I can continue to do it without become bitter about it. It's nice. My place is getting a little small for 2 and all our stuff though.
That will be a challenge for 2009. A house would be hard to take care of if you want to travel yet condos are cramped. The 2009 challenge!

I'm impressed with how I've done with work. I was thrown into management and it was a little 'sink or swim'. I think I'm treading quite nicely now. I've made some big mistakes, but I think I'm making up for them. It doesn't help that the personalities of programmers are a little different than most people, but I think I'm doing okay and continuing to improve. I actually kinda miss work when I've been away for a while, which means I don't hate it, I must enjoy it. Plus everyone at the company is a great person, that helps lots.

Vacation, my first vacation since 2002 or 2003? Ryan and I went to Las Vegas. It was awesome. I like travelling with him. Well except for the part where he told me I could bring more goods across the border than I had and it being the opposite! I was a little nervous about that. But I look like an honest person, right?

I finally saw the Foo Fighters this year. I've wanted to see them since I was 14. They lived up to all the hype, it was absolutely amazing for the show and the company included. I'll never forget it.

Bunnyrat has been a great addition to my family this year. I have her trained pretty well, she's litter trained and doesn't really shed. She's super excited when I come home and if I'm chilling out, she's right here, either thumping her foot at me for attention, or stretched straight out, resting, and thinking I'm staring at her. Just don't leave her out of her cage while you're at work. Lesson learned.

In the new year I want to continue my swiming and the gym, save up for a trip to Europe, fix my living space problem, celebrate Toni's bday in Vegas, challenge myself at work, eat better, you know same old same old. I've surrounded myself with positive people who support me and care about me, anything is possible this year :)
