I am "borrowing" this from another board I'm on. I thought it was nice.
You list your biggest events of the year, good, bad, or both.
1.) My dearest Mom-in-law passed away March 10th after a 8 year long uphill battle with multiple myeloma. Her passing was bittersweet -- we know she is with her Lord, but how we miss her.
2.) After being diagnosed infertile November 2005, we signed up for an adoption seminar (AWAA) and fell totally in love with the idea of adopting a baby internationally. The seminar was June 4th.
3.) At the end of June, I got very sick, ended up in the ER and left with a piece of paper that said we were pregnant!!!
4.) I quit my job in September to be a SAHM.
5.) In May, we ripped our our ugly, ugly kitchen, and replaced it with my dream kitchen. The work was finally done in September.
6.) In October, we visited my Grandma who was up this way on a trip. The significance of this is that I just reconnected with her in 2005 for the first time in 20+ years (family dispute with my parents)
7.) On December 1, my dad-in-law fell and broke his leg in 3 places. All of us kids have been pitching in to help him through this really difficult time. And I'm so glad that I am done work so that I can help him more.
8.) Mark & I celebrated our 9th anniversary (belated) in September -- we rented a house on a lake for a week. It was the most relaxing vacation that we have had in years!
9.) In a very coincidental manner (through the passing of my mom-in-law), we met a very dear couple and have hit it off very well with them. We have gotten together quite a few times now, and we just get along so well!!!
10.) We had the best Thanksgiving ever with Mark's Dad, brother & sister-in-law, and sister.
