I can't even remember where I found this... but I thought it was a good way to review the past year. Obviously, the person I stole it from did it as a review of 2006. I am slightly editing and doing it as a review of my first year as a college grad (the one year mark is coming up... one year on April 29th)
OH, and I am putting the lowlights first because in honor of Jenn during Bible Study... do the bad stuff first. You want to end on a good note!
The lowlights of my first year as a college grad:
1. Having to move from Ann Arbor
2. Leaving everyone in Michigan
3. Not getting the job at Google (I saw the light for a split second... and then it was snatched away!)
4. realizing I don't have summers anymore... what up with that people
5. realizing I can't just drop everything and travel like I used to (vacation days count!)
6. this job just isn't cutting it anymore (or ever... note to self just because it is a "good opportunity" doesn't mean I have to take the job)
7. Being on the job hunt again...
8. realizing the only mail you get as an adult is bills
9. UM losing to OSU and then losing at the Rose Bowl
10. not being home (or at 727) to watch "What Not to Wear" at noon anymore... and just plain not having time to watch it. I miss Stacy and Clinton.
The highlights of my first year as a college grad:
1. Didn't think I would say this... BUT... moving to North Carolina. It's been a GREAT thing
2. All my new co-workers (or should I say FRIENDS!)
3. Going to the UM vs. OSU game. We may have lost, but it was AWESOME to be there for THE game of the season
4. all of my trips to Michigan to visit... I always feel so loved
5. Jenn and Josh's wedding. What a great time!
6. getting my kitty! Belle is too cute for words!
7. FREEDOM! I can now support myself. Guys, I realize that I won't fail as an adult!
8. moving back to an area that has Chick-fil-a! (and, no, I am not kidding. I love it that much!)
9. Getting to know the Niemans w/ 2 kids... Having the Niemans w/ 11 kids nearby. I am TRULY a Nieman now! And, they always make me feel sooo loved
10. feeling so close to God. He has shown me repeatedly this year that He knows me, knows what is best for me. He is an awesome God, and I am so glad that I know Him!
