2005 has been a very eventful year. Some crushingly bad times, but at then end of the year, I've accomplished quite a bit. 40 things on the 101 in 1001 list have been completed. The first man to love me unconditionally passed away on April 2. Two Three of my friends had babies. I fell in love. I was dumped, badly. Started dating again. Dumped, badly. (Not in love this time). If I could do it again, I'd only have dated the first guy. (Note: Am willing to fall in love in 2006.) I joined the Jaycees. I learned that some of the people I considered friends were not. I made several new friends, and several friendships became closer. I finally felt "settled" in NC. I began to feel restless at my job. I turned 30. My skin started acting oddly. Bought new skincare regimen, which seems to be working. The biggest accomplishment was passing the PE exam.

I am thankful for my friends. My friends (Cdub, 2.0, Littly Matty, CP, Jbabe, and others.) who are here, who I know I can call upon for anything. I am thankful that I made several new friends this year. I hope that these friendships continue to grow. I hope I meet new people, people who can teach me new things and help me to grow.

I wish you all the best for 2006. I say, "Bring it on!"
