What is the most significant thing that has happened to you this year..?

[molucass]

Significant can be interpreted any way you like.. whether it be positive or negative.


--I got my Felony in April, but he passed away on August 24th. :( I still just cannot believe he's gone.

--My Uncle Mike was killed in a helicopter crash leaving behind my aunt and his 12 yr. old son. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v407/spencerattie/spencer/bluecry.gif

-- My niece turned 1 yr. old!!

There are a few other things, but I'm sure you guys don't want to hear about those.

[Fox-Gal]

Oh, where to start.

I lost my Ginger and Brock this year on the dog side of the family.
MII, Dagwood and Evil when to RB on the cat side of the family.
And I also lost ChiChi, my Chin and some of my favorite fish, from the hurricans also. Briggs left for RB also this year.

My home got hit by 3 hurricans.......damage from 2 of them. Lose of personal item, that meant a lot to me.

I lost a very good friend.

On the good side:

I was lucky enough to rescue several pets, 5 that have stayed with me, the others have new wonderfull homes.

I became a great Aunt, just last month.

I started a new Biz.......that has taken off better then I dreamed it would.

And the best........ I have re-connected with my one Brother after 12 years. :D And am now getting a chance to be a Aunt again to his children.

[carole]

Absolutley nothing, and I am happy to report that, as 2001 was my worst year ever, so unless it is positive and good I am happy to have had a dull year this time around.:)

[Queen of Poop]

2004 is the worst year of my life, after 1986 when both my brother and sister died. I can't wait for this year to be over, next years got to be better.

Lost Sami my 12 year old dog in February
My step daughter broke her arm snow boarding in March
My husband started working again in March so that was a good thing, but we've spent ALOT of time fighting this year
My job changed, not for the better in May
Trouble (ferret) stopped responding to his meds and died in August
A couple of weeks after Trouble we discovered that Sebastian has the same disease Trouble did - he's having surgery in a couple of weeks.

And that's the big stuff!!

This year can't end soon enough.

[GraciesMommy]

Adopted Gracie in July
Got my belly ring in July
Went on a 7 day cruise in July (busy month!)

Had my 2 grandangels for one week (2 and 4 at the time) this summer (June)

My son got a divorce...which breaks my heart (the grands daddy)

My daughter graduated high school and started college

[Tonya]

This has been a horrible year for me. I don't even want to think about all the things that have happened and all the people that have died in my life this year. I cannot wait until 2004 is over and I can have a fresh start.

I'll list the good things that I can think of though.

-I am finally having a healthy and successful pregnancy.

-We sold our house and bought another.

-My nephew, Danny was born.

Jordan---
what about Caleb?!? You still have him don't you?!
:confused: :confused:

[NoahsMommy]

*Rescued Jonah

*Worked in a dramatic veterinary clinic where I met three life long friends...and many scary people I don't ever want to talk to again. ;) This job taught me how to deal with the worlds most difficult people.

*Got my ideal job for my current situation. Its going to be a wonderful beginnig for a lot of new things in my life. Its also restored me to who I am, its amazing how you can lose yourself when surrounded by negativity..

*Clarity and strength on a huge issue that's been bothering me for three years. Once you make a decision you know in your heart is right, its amazing how much weight is lifted off you.

*I'm no longer afraid of the doctor, hospitals or anything that could go wrong with me healthwise. This is HUGE, a few years ago I'd rather die in my closet than set foot in an ER or hospital.

2004 has been a year for growing for me. Its been frustrating, but necessary. :)

[karyn674]

A whole lot happened to me this year. So Let's see:

In Febuary finally left a job I used to adore cos it turned to be very bad. (Bosses where seperating) Too much negativity

March - April was working on a Canadian film by the name of Clarion's Call, being filmed here in Malta. People where fantastic :)

April- May flew with my husband to Cairo for a month, where we travelled all over Egypt and visited also Petra in Jordan. It was my dream holiday to travel only with hubby, guide book and back pack! Also got my open water and advanced in scuba diving in the Red Sea (for pics click on this link: http://www.pbase.com/karyn674/root)

Saved Pippa and eventually kept her at my mum's house!

Still struggling to make Pippa and Lulu friends, but to no avail.
