Okay, so 2008 is almost over, thank goodness. It has been a wild and crazy year. Some good and some bad.
First off the good, my sister-in-law got married to a great guy and had a beautiful wedding where Madeline got to live out one of her dreams of being a flower girl, and Connor bless his heart got up and gave a speech about how their wedding day is one of the best days of his life because his family just got bigger. In August of 2007 I started losing weight, Matt got me Nutri-system for our anniversary and it works. I got down to my goal weight before the wedding, and I was super happy, so happy I started eating not so good things for me and I went up one size. So, for this Christmas Matt got me an elliptical machine. I love the fact that Matt gets me things that I want, he doesn't judge me and tell me that I need to lose weight, I honestly don't think he cares in the least, he just wants me to be happy, so I am going to start off 2009 by being consistent with my health. Watch what I eat and exercise so that 2009 can be my most healthy year.
Okay, now for the bad parts of 2008. A good friend here at work quit, she had enough of the hypocrisy and quit. On the good side of that she started law school so the world will get a good lawyer out of the deal, but work hasn't been the same and a month after she quit the company "re-structured" my department and fired 5 people all in the same day. October 15th will live in infamy in my brain for quite some time, it wasn't a pretty day, lots of tears and drama. On the good side of that I still have a job. My department went from 17 people when I first started back in January of 2007 to 7 people total. The economy sucks and in November what happened in my department happened in the rest of the company, they let go a total of 13 people in one day. Yikes! The company is still here and going, but everything is very slow and it's not a happy fun place to come to work. I continually think that I am next to be "re-structured".
So, here's to 2009, may it be a better year for the economy, and may I get back into my size 8's and keep my job!

Let's hear it for size eights! I think I was last an eight when I was...um, eight.
I want to get Ben up off of his keester to keep him alive and kicking for 2010. I'd also like him to be employed.
I think Connor's speech sounds adorable, by the way!
Love you and miss you and will write more regularly when I get the work email back--(trainee sits at my computer right now) mmkay?
Be safe for new year's!
