@#$% YOU 2009!

This is not me whining about things like I always do, it is just something I have learned this last year. Most people have bad years, and they are happy to move on to the next. That is what 2009 is for me. My best friend asked me if Tiff and I were going to go to his New Year's Eve party this week and I told him I am not even going to celebrate the end of this stupid year.
This year was the last year I spend my twenties in. Most people approach their 30's with anxiety and sadness. I joke about turning 30, but I am extremely excited to turn this age. If you think about it, 0-10 you are just trying to develop into a human being. 11-20 you are trying to just develop into a human being. 21-29 life changes so fast and I loved my 20's. They were great and the things that I have gotten while in my twenties, I am excited to bring into my thirties. I am really excited to be settled down for a decade and enjoy seeing my offspring grow up with the love of my life.
2009 was hard on me, it beat me over the head. And the best thing is that it finished itself off with a huge snowstorm that kept me from being with my girls for Christmas. Being fired for the first time from a job that I had grown to hate (I will see that as a tie). Obama was sworn in as President, I chewed off more than I could eat with the Tea Party early in the year. But what a way to lose your mind, ehh?
I have had some good things this year, but overall, I am glad to be leaving 2009 in one piece. I thank God for making me sit and think about what I really want to do, kick my butt out of a job I was no longer wanted in, and letting me watch the most beautiful girl grow up WAY too fast. 2010 is where I get off the mat, and get back into the fight stronger and wiser. AND turn 30!
