the one with another year gone

As 2005 comes to an end, I felt like I should reflect back on what has changed in my life. It's been a big year.

* I have been a college grad for more than a year
* I became a law student
* I fell in love again - this time with my sweet puppy
* I moved to a new state to start a new life
* I got my first apartment for just me
* I had my first big girl job as a PR coordinator
* I lived in a different city or state than Brian for 75% of the year
* I went to Homecoming as an alum
* I realized that my parents still don't see me as an adult, and maybe they never will
* I missed my turn (again) in the getting married game
* I discovered that I'm stronger than I think I am

Tomorrow begins a new year and its time to make some resolutions. Most of them are silly ones that I know there's no chance I'll keep. But my main resolution is to make decisions that are mine. I'm going to take more chances and not worry about what everyone thinks or expects from me. It's my life and I'm going to start acting that way. Here's to the next 365 days - may we not waste a single one.
