This was my life plan (ha!):
-graduate high school at 18. check
-graduate college on time at 22. yeah graduated at 24
-marry high school/college sweetheart CTS right after graduation at age 22.
um, hs/college sweetheart CTS dumped me Easter weekend of Freshman year for another girl and ended up marrying her. Still not married. Haha.
-have kids with high school/college sweetheart at 24. see above.
Then I got to thinking, where is the rest of my plan??? ha. The things we don't know or understand at the ages of 15-18.
I just erased this long detailed paragraph about my 2008. Basically, there were only 3 major, important things in 2008 for me. One, I acquired 3 of the best friends in the whole entire world. I run everything by them. They are like my sisters, seriously=) Secondly, I met LC. He's the love of my life. I never knew what people meant when they said you'll just know. Because, I just know, and it's the most wonderful feeling in the whole world. I'm the luckiest girl on Earth. Last but not least, I REALLY got to know myself and what I'm made of in 2008. I finally know who I am and am comfortable in my own skin. Whether it was fighting my Mother's cancer, kicking out an alcoholic and emotionally abusive boyfriend, losing a best friend b/c we just weren't "cool" enough for her anymore, getting my own apartment w/o a roommate and paying all the bills myself, or finally allowing someone to love me in my whole entirety helped me to become the woman I am today.
Without this year, I don't think I would have grown as a person. I don't think I would understand the true meaning of everything happens for a reason, and that sometimes bad things have to happen in order for the good things to come along. I wouldn't know what that means if it weren't for 2008. Hopefully, 2009 will be the best year yet:)
