A year in review-----2008

Last year when many of us were blogging over in AOL J-land, we were "challenged" to look back over the previous year and do an entry regarding the first entry of each month in our blogs. It was interesting to go back over the year and list the high lights. So here's my 2008 year in review.....hope to see yours soon!

JANUARY 2008 ----> Not a lot of posts in January, but I did learn through quizzes that I am a 70% tortured genius.

FEBRUARY 2008----> I lost my job due to new owners at my place of employment---they let all the "old" management go.

I used to have shoulder length hair----I decided that it was time for a change. I got it ct short and was even sporting a new color.

I received a NICE MATTERS award on my blog from my good friend Sunny who lives in California.

MARCH 2008 --> I spent much of March searching for a new job. I interviewed with a former employer and they hired me back....I start in April.

APRIL 2008 ----> I started my new job with a former employer.

I also discovered through qizzes tha I am a BUSY BEE, a HAZELNUT, and CORNFLAKES!!

MAY 2008 -----> My daughter Jade fell from the horse she was riding at a horse show and broke her wrist.

A fellow that I have known for 14 years asked me out for dinner.

JUNE 2008 ----> My eldest nephew died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

Glenn and I are officially dating.

I was finally able to give Jade her very own horse. "Sonny" came home on June 30.

JULY 2008 ----> I turned 41!!!!!

We got a new kitten --- "Simba"

AUGUST 2008 ------> Glenn gave me a huge diamond and wants to get married. We did set a tentative date.

My car was demolished in a car crash on August 20th.

Jade took Sonny to the county fair and showed him in his first ever horse show. It was great to see that all Jade's hard work over the summer paid off. They brought home a first and second place ribbon.

I always bake goodies and put them in the fair for judging----my cookies got 1st place and my pie came in 5th.

SEPTEMBER 2008 ----> I started another job. Since Glenn and I were dating, I decided that I didn't want to work in same place as he, so I found another job. This one I plan on staying at for a while.

Jade started 8th grade.

My aunt passed away. I now have only one aunt still living.

OCTOBER 2008 ----> Jade turned 14

NOVEMBER 2008 ---> We moved in with Glenn.

DECEMBER 2008 ----> It was great to get to spend some time with a few of my siblings this Christmas.
