Looking back on 2006

[Melinda]

With only 18 days left in 2006, take a look back and think about the things you accomplished and things that changed in your lives this year.

List some of the events / occasions that made this year especially memorable for you, big things, small things, good things, bad things...


My list:

1) Bought and moved into our new home
2) Planned our wedding for April 2007 and took care of all the details and booked the honeymoon! (almost there!)
3) Fiance got a fantastic new job
4) Worked my fanny off doing various photography jobs this year, already booking lots for next year!
5) Diagnosed with severely low iron, put on 3 pills a day to fix it
6) Decided on my game plan for writing two different books this upcoming year, a children's book and a regular book


What are your big events of 2006?

Med school admission is the only really important one, it's been a goal that I have been working my butt0ckz off to achieve for many years. The degree...meh...just a piece of paper really but I guess it does count as some kind of an achievement.

1 more exam and I'm done my first semester!!

I just can't believe that this yr is over and went so quickly.

Some of the things I am proud of

1) Separated from my ex - probably one of the toughest things that I had to overcome
2) Part of #1 - getting my own place, my own things - feels good to pay for everything myself, although its tough some months
3) Went back to school
4) Was able to take a couple of vacations
5) Became an Auntie again
6) Rekindled and old love from my past
7) Got my Learners finally - yes I am 27, its sad

Looking forward to what next yr brings. I wish the best for everyone in 2007!!
