Post the highlights or really crappy parts of this year. I'll go first.

- Fiance cheats on me, she gets kicked out of my place.
- I get a sweet job as a Network Engineer in my field that kick ass plus pays pretty damn good (even though I want more :p ).
- I lost 30 pounds.
- After I went single, I "met" a lot of interesting girls :D but that's not what I'm looking for. I want another relationship and nothing ever seems to work out, and all of the "good" girls are taken.

For me obviously, I went to hell and back. Very crazy year.

All in all, ok.

Had some problems with my kids but nothing we can't work through.

Between me and the wife we made a ton of money.

- Bought my first new car, Scion xB
- After planning on living with my parents until I finished school, they ended up getting orders to NC
- helped my family buy a townhouse, started renting it from my family
- Moved out on my own
- Took a management position at work
- Came out
- Failed the two classes I took because I work/nef too much
- Lost a good amount of weight, especially since I have to buy my food now
- Developed some new and very close friendships :)

Overall it was pretty good, but my schooling really took a hit. I can honestly say I have a life now, and job wise it's been great :) Next year, I'll try to juggle all three....And DATING! :D

You can't get much better ... and worse than that. Congrats on the job (I'm jealous, btw) -- and for the rest, have a :beer: and forget about it.

More on the upside for me. I got my own place, have 2 great roommates (both good looking girls :D).

The only bad thing about this years was I did not have a car. So I had to get a ride from friends. But that will all change once I do my taxes.:D

I gained like 20 lbs, which I will get rid of (and more) next year. I blame it on my job, since I get fed all day long and don't exercise nearly as much as I should.
I'm becoming more and more tired each day, no matter how much I sleep.
I got into a car accident, totaled my '01 Focus, replaced it with an '05 Altima that is really mine (as in I make the payments and it's under my name.. Focus wasn't under my name, but I still made the payments).
Built myself a new PC. Built my little brother a PC.
And I got a DVD player for X-mas, but I have no way of hooking it up because my TV is mounted on the wall on the opposite side of the room where I have my VCR and DirectTV box. I'll have to run cables through the walls, which shouldn't be too bad, since we already have coaxial running through there.. but it hasn't been touched since my room was built 6 years ago. And I don't really feel up to taking down and/or patching drywall.

Overall, it was pretty good. It went by fast though, it's already been one year at my current job.

*List is not in chronological order.

Yep. I just played the cards that were dealt to me. Life's a bitch, and I realize that now. It's quite ironic thought, right after I found out about my ex and I called it quits, I get the call from my current employer asking if I would come in for a interview. Everything else is history from there. :)
