A New Year . . . Finally!

I'm happy to say that it is finally 2010. 2009 was just a crappy year. Yes some good things were in there, but overall it wasn't my favorite. To commemorate this new year I will list the 5 worst and the 5 best moments of 2009. Hopefully next year won't be as bad, but filled with even greater good things.

Top 5 Worst

1. I fell for a really great guy that I dated for a month, but then he dumped me not once, but three times over a two week period. I'm still trying to get over one of the worst heartbreaks I've had. Time heals everything right?
2. My crazy ex-boyfriend phone, text and email stalked me for most of the year. Take into account that we mutually broke things off in September of 2008. I believe he begged me to marry him several times this fall over the phone. Yeah . . .
3. My 15-year-old sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease, a form of lymphatic cancer. She's had two and started her third round of chemotherapy. She will miss the rest of her sophomore year of high school.
4. My sweet dog Putter passed away this fall. In a way this was good because she had been suffering for months with Cushing's Disease and a liver tumor.
5. Like most everyone else, finances were a bit tighter this year. I worked a part-time internship for no pay this summer along with my full-time summer job. I did not receive a raise or overtime pay for my full-time job. It was a bit of a let down, but it was still a good summer and a good job.

Top 5 Best

1. I had a really good room roommate during the Winter 2009 semester.
2. I acquired an internship with the Utah Grizzlies Hockey team working PR. I saw my first hockey game and I know that I don't really want to work in public relations doing sports. It was a good experience though.
3. I started going to a singles ward in West Bountiful and it was a great decision. I'm made several new friends who seem to be really good and a lot of fun. We would play ultimate frisbee on most Monday nights in front of the Bountiful Tabernacle.
4. I dated a really good guy who I was actually attracted to last summer. (I can never find both of those. It is usually one or the other) It was amazing and fun while it lasted. I guess that whole experience taught me alot about myself and that I can get what I want . . . well, at least if that is what Heavenly Father thinks is best for me.
5. I finally made a career choice with my major because of this guy. He is going into the medical profession and had been talking about volunteering at the hospital. I don't know what happened, but I started thinking that I need to be involved with more service and that I should volunteer at the hospital in Rexburg (which I am currently doing). I then had the thought that I should work in a hospital doing pubic relations or communications work. I am planning on getting a job with Intermountain Health Care after I graduate in April of 2010! No more confusion, at least with this aspect of my life.
