2010

It's the end of the year again, everyone! The time of year when everyone makes top ten lists and creates new year's resolutions and buys party hats and alcohol in preparation for the big celebration that takes place in order to count down from sixty and watch a giant ball drop (a tradition that I still don't really understand but enjoy celebrating).
Anyway, it's also the time when people think back on what they've done the past year. Including me. Which is why I'm making a list some big things from this year of my life that I want to remember. Or maybe don't want to remember, but I'll include them anyway. I wrote one last year, which you can find on my other blog that's no longer in use if you really want. But you probably don't, so I will continue. =)

Thanks, 2010. You've been so good to me. I can't wait to see what 2011 has waiting, and I can't wait to do all the things I already have planned for it.

I hope 2010 treated all of you just as well, and I hope 2011 treats you even better. =)
