the seedy life

the goods

~ japan : still feels like a dream. i miss it terribly a lot of the time. someone asked me recently if we'll ever go back. probably not is what i said, and it made me really sad. but life has to go on, right?

~ jobs : d is finally working somewhere that is recognizing and rewarding his work. in 3 months, he's doubled his wage and been put in charge. and i think he actually enjoys working there. weird. and i love my job. nothing new there, but what is new is that i am constantly surrounded by people at the school who actually see the work i'm doing and support and encourage me in it.

~ friends : reconnected with the wonderful ones. ousted the selfish ones.

~ family : lived with my parents for a bit while we looked for a place. i am so lucky to have them. d's mom and aunt came to visit in october. i'm also lucky to have them. scott and candice, lisa and andrew, sean and chelsea... amazingness coupled. jennifer and aidan get stuck in the family category too. awwwwwwww!!!

2008 will hopefully bring about much of the same. stick travelling and healthiness and adventure in there and it'll be the best yet!!!

i do, of course have resolutions. i'm sure everyone does. i heard on the news that only 20% of people keep them past february. the most important one i have i think is planning for the future. next comes healthiness, patience, and keeping up on keeping in touch.

happy new year everyone!!
