    I can't believe there's less than a month left of 2010...time FLIES! 

     

    It's been a great year for many of us, I know, so I thought we might all pause for a moment of gratitude and share the best thing that happened to us this year. 

     

    As for me...I met someone!  So, WB's official bachelorette is a little bit closer to maybe someday NOT being a bachelorette anymore!  Laughing   We're coming up on four months of dating and its going really well.

     

    How about you?  What was THE best thing that happened to you in 2010?   Smile

    I married the love of my life.  I've never experienced happiness or joy as I had on our wedding day.  So far, nothing can top it.

    The best thing that happen to me this year was hands down when I got married this past Monday! We're still having our full celebration in April but we legally tied the knot on my husband's birthday, Nov. 29. He came home from Iraq on the 23rd and we marched down to the JPs office 6 days later. Lol

    The best thing that happened to me this year was getting engaged!

    I hate to brag but this year was extra awesome.  I left my crappy clothing store job for one that's related to my college major and pays well, and I bought my first home with my man :) So even if we hadn't gotten engaged this year would have been great but getting to plan my wedding makes it even better!

    @Cheeks11: Congratulations!

    Thank you for starting this thread! 

    2010 has been very good to me.  In March, I received a great promotion at work.  In May, I got engaged to my best friend and the only person I can imagine spending the rest of my life with.  In September, my older sister gave birth to the cutest little baby girl and I became an auntie for the first time! 

    Through the year, I've been able to become closer with the friends that mean the most to me and have been able to distance myself from others who weren't the best fit.  It's been a great year for personal growth and learning new things.  I can only hope that 2011 can come close to 2010!

    So much has happened this year!

    FI moved here to be with me, no more LDR!

    I got called to the bar.

    FI and I bought an awesome apartment together.

    We got engaged!

    And we're getting married in less than a week!

    At midnight on Dec 31, 2009, I remember thinking to myself, "It's going to be a huge year... it's make or break for us," and being so scared and excited at once. I'm so thankful that it has turned out so wonderfully. :)

    Finally tied the knot in April after having to postpone our wedding for a whiiiiile (husband was laid off for 10 months!).

    Husband got the job of his dreams.

    Two amazing honeymoons...first one right after our wedding in April. We went snowboarding in Whistler and spent some time in Vancouver.

    And then he decided to take me on a 2nd honeymoon to Maui in Sept. It has been an amazing year!!

    We're setting off tomorrow for our first snowboarding trip of the season. We plan to go A LOT this season because after this one, we're gonna start trying for babies. :)

    When I think about it, honestly a lot of CRAP has happend the past year, and while I do have down days, FI has helped me through it all and it just doesn't seem so bad!

    FI and I moved back to our hometown- I have not lived here in 8 years. The 30 hour drive was awful but it was so worth it to be near family again.

    Became a homeowner :)

    Got married!

    Went to Europe for the first time on our honeymoon.

    Got knocked up (due in July 2011)!

    Engaged_With_Love    April 2011  

    This year has been a good one with many surprises good and bad. The BEST thing to happen to me this year is finding out I am expecting a little one! I have been on cloud 9 since I found out (except during times of morning sickness LOL).

    I hope everyone had a wonderful year and have atleast one amazing thing happen to them during the year! Here's to hoping for another blessed year in 2011!

    We fostered really young little puppies, I was a little worried about taking in little 6 week old things that really should still be with their momma but for various reasons couldn't be.  And that they'd poop and pee a lot more in the house than the older dogs but I loved it and them and seeing these little things have such big individual personalities so early on.

    We had a wonderful vacation to go overseas to a family members wedding and go exploring.

    And apparently we had a lot of fun there because a few weeks later we found out we're expecting our first child.
