Happy New Year!

I watched the ball drop abot 20 mins ago and now I'm examining 2008.

On first look, it pretty well sucked

The beginning of the year started out well, I was with my parents and had a nice visit there.

Then I settled in for the worst winter since I moved here. In march, Michael and I got to go to my brothers wedding in CA while Nick dealt with with a 50 cm snowfall.

Within a few weeks of me getting back I crashed and burned and was in the hospital for depression.

I was off work for a few months while I did 'the program'. Towards the end, I had a huge stressful situation to deal with workwise, the same week I found out that I was pregnant again.

The work situation worked out, but I lost the baby before the week was out. I've done research and my PCOS can cause recurrent miscarriage.

Once I graduated I was back to work full time. Nick on the other hand had some of his own challenges to deal with.
Throughout the fall I tried not to focus on the economy and uncertainty, and focus on the positive things going on.

As the year comes to a close I find myself struggling.

But, I should quantify the things that went right this year.

1) I'm still here
2) I finally finished my college diploma
3) Michael is doing well in school
4) We are all basically healthy
5) I have a new niece :)

That's all i can come up with right now...
