The best of 2010
I stole this from the H&F board-but thought it would be fun to read all of your answers! (esp. since we are all kumbyaing
)
Tomorrow is the ending of a decade! What were some highlights for you over the last 10 years?
Re: The best of 2010
In no particular order... mostly because I can't remember the order of all of them...
Graduating high school! (yes, 2011 will be my 10 year h.s. reunion so I get to count this one)
Getting married (obv.)
Meeting Ted! I guess this goes with getting married - but meeting Ted is probably the best thing that's ever happened to me, for so many reasons.
Finding true friends, and learning how to be a true friend.
The amazing things I've learned about myself.
Learning how to cook! (and cook really well!)
Smart phones. 'Nuff said.
The 10 day trip through Great Britain that my family took in 2007. It was so fun, and that was the last trip we took just the 4 of us before my brother met his long-term girlfriend, and I met Ted.
The trip Ted & I took to Paris
Cancun!
The two weeks I spent trekking through Europe. Just me and my (then) best friend. It was my first taste of real independence, I was 20 and it was glorious.
Finding the DW forum. Aawwww.
My 21st birthday weekend in Vegas. Wow. Those stories will never see the light of day
Becoming a home owner! The juice is worth the squeeze, if you will.
Getting Lasik surgery. So worth it.
I know I'm missing some stuff in there, but these are thing things that pop in my head when I think of highlights over the past 10 years
I like this idea!
~Meeting Matthew, of course! And getting married.
~Getting our three little furbabies
~Buying our first house
~Getting my Master's degree!
~Growing up. Realizing what matters and what doesn't.
~Hawaii!
~Spending a summer in Costa Rica
Ohmygosh. 10 yrs. Can I even remember back that far? LOL! a LOT has happened in the past 10yrs. for sure. These aren't in any order....
My Planning Bio! Married Photos! My Blog!
Great Idea! I never even thought about this new year in that way before
Graduate college
First semi-grown up job
Current "forever" career
Meeting Vin and getting married
Buying our house
Mexico!
...and I have to copy mishy above: "Growing up. Realizing what matters and what doesn't."
Wow! So many things have happened in the past 10 years! I am not even that old lol. 10 years ago I would have been 13, weird to think about!
Graduating High School
Graduating college
Getting married
Buying our first home
I have to agree that finding the DW board is one of them
St. Thomas, and our other travels
Meeting the friends that are true and mean the most to me
I know there is lots more, but this is it for now
Hmmmm..... I would say.....
Getting Married
Buying a house
Graduating High School / College
Becoming an aunt
Excelling in my career
Wow the last 10 years have flown! Some of mine will mirror some of the previous responses but oh well..
-Meeting DH (We met in May 2000), and then not liking him for the next 4 years until we started dating.
-Getting engaged and then married!
-My first job. I loved that place and met some great people there. It was fun to work there for 6 years but everything comes to an end.
-Travelling. My parents split in 2002 and my mom and I took some great trips that we wouldn't have done otherwise. In the last 8 years I've been on 9 cruises, been to Hawaii twice, NYC, and Miami/Ft. Lauderdale.
-Discovering the DW board as others have mentioned, even though I lurked for quite awhile before I started posting.
-Going to college
-Adopting my doggy
-Buying our condo. Its not a house, but at least when I send that check in every month its going a little towards something
-Buying my first car all on my own.
Hatteras, North Carolina
UPDATED 11/05/10 Lots of Wedding PICS!
UPDATED 07/28/10 My Planning Bio
-Moving to Cincinnati/breaking up w/ my psycho ex
-Taking Kylie home from the pound
-Meeting Christian
-Buying my first car on my own
-Graduating College
-Becoming a homeowner
-Finding the DW board!
-Getting married
-Traveling to Europe twice (never thought that and many more would happen)
-Finally getting out of retail & changing my career
I'm sure there is more but those are what first popped into my head
So tough!
- growing up
-traveling, even if it's only been luxury vacations to the caribbean
-meeting & marrying Bri
-starting and continuing my career at my current job 5 1/2 years ago, which was a great move for me!
-becoming a mother
-appreciating family
-realizing that people that you don't know IRL can be just as important as your "real" friends!
As with everyone else, I'm sure there are many, many more!
So so tough:
Graduating high school
Living alone for a year.
Living with close friends and partying it up.
Giving DH a third chance.
Buying a house on my own.
Getting married.
Finally getting up the courage to quit my shiity job for one that I love.
Narrowing down my circle to people who are the best friends anyone could ask for.
Realizing that you can have great friends even though you've never met them IRL.
Probably my #1 is spending a week in paradise with the most important people in my life. I get teary every time I think about it!
