Where oh where did 2008 go? I know that we're all asking that question. I know that it was a busy year for all of us. Hopefully 2009 will be a happy and prosperous for all of us!
2008 was filled with a lot of bitter sweetness for me. Lots of different milestones happened in our home. A recap: Nicholas and Melissa went to his duty station in N.C. Mom, Dad & I went to N.C. to see Nick off to Iraq (due to schedule changes they were unable to stay until he left). Melissa came back to AR. I went as far as I can with my knee as far as treatment goes, at least for now. Alan asked for a divorce (I later found out he's been subscribing to on-line personal websites). I bought a house & Daniel and I moved out of our home of 8 years. I applied for a job as a public safety dispatcher. Daniel turned 18 years old. We celebrated Christmas without Nick for the first time. And without Melissa as spent it with her family.
In 2009 we'll all be another year older, we'll sort out things that need sorted. I'll hopefully find a job with health benefits (that I'll be losing with Alan divorcing me). Daniel will be graduating from high school and going off to the Navy (if his plans work out) and Nick will come home safe and sound from Iraq.
I'm looking forward to the year with trepidation and hope. I know that sounds weird. I know Alan and I will be divorced, though perhaps not completely un-entangled as we have 2 houses to sell. I'm looking forward to starting over and starting again.
Happy New Year and may you be blessed this year!
