Party like it's 2007

Hold on it almost is! Wow I can hardly believe it, where did the year go? It's been an eventful one that's for sure. I started out with some hospital visits in Jan and that turned instead a 3 month hiatus from work. When I did go back, of course it wasn't to Wendys. I also started the 2006 year with a broken heart, thankfully I had an awesome supporting cast made up of close friends and select family members (you know who you are) to help me through that. Took a while but thanks to them my heart mended just fine. Also in 2006 I took some critical steps towards my scouting career. More of course to be taken in 2007. I will work tirelessly until I achieve that dream. My 'pay the bills' job has changed from fast food to coffee house and now as pretty much settled at marketing research. In the past year I've made huge changes such as moving in with Lee and Jen. Something that was a temporary thing has turned into a long term thing (unless they go kicking me out LOL). Living with my big brother and sister in law has had a effect on me. It would be hard to explain but its great and I love the closer relationships I now have with all 4 of my newer room mates. This year has been a one of learning and maturity and not only in me. I've posted on here about Naomi and Elizabeth and all I can say now is wow. I love both of you so much and honestly no one could be prouder of how both of you have grown even in just a year. While not for me, the year even brought a baby. Watching Brooklyn grow over the last several months is too amazing to even put into words. Thank you so much Michelle and Jay for having me be such a big part of Brooklyns life. So much has happened this year I could go on for pages but even the ones I've already mentioned as you can see have a profound impact on a person. Amazing how in 12 months everything can change. I wanna wish all my family and friends a truly happy new year. I hope the 2007 brings all of you even more love, joy and fulfillment.
Love forever,
Mana xoxo
