Thank you, 2010

2010 has been a great year for me.  Sure there were a lot of problematic days, but over all I think my year was good.  Special thanks to my family, friends (both in real life and online) and the kitties!  I'm posting a rundown of my year and the things I am thankful for.  Please feel free to post your 2010 list/2011 resolutions on the comments section below :)

  1. What an eventful year! Wow! I missed a lot because I haven't been blogging.

    I hope mine becomes eventful too starting next year. I often see myself as a person who likes going to different places here at home, within the country and out of the country. I hope I'll be a traveler by the time I am 40 (when my kid is quite all grown up). But the earlier the better too.

    Do you have a relative who is a PMA cadet? I used to work there.

    My fiancé's dad graduated from PMA. We try to go up every year for the reunion.
