2008 was a disaster. A roller coaster of emotions, really.
Started off good... Then shit hit the fan.
January - My best friend ends an engagement to a good man
In February/March... Marcos becomes ill. My Cousin in law becomes ill. Both victims of Cancer.
May - My grandmother passed away.
My cousin ends an engagement to her boyfriend of 3 years
A little peak of hope shined through since that week, the job I've been waiting for posted.
Waiting game... and on June 25th I started my career. I even moved to Blogspot to document all my travels.
Truly, that was short lived. And in October...shit REALLY hit the fan
Vegas - Break in... laptop is stolen (work laptop)
Bad break regarding Marcos' health
Uncle Ed passes away after a 2 year battle with Lou Gherig's Disease
Then:
On October 28, 2008 I was laid off. The worst news ever. The job I loved... and not many people can say that right?
November... more family drama, among other things. like fuckin' crazy bad.
and I continue my search for a new job. No Luck.
Granted.. with the bad came the good.
For instance:
Reconnected: with John, Aki, Jess, Jade to name a few
Disneyland - the Happiest Place on Earth
My cousin in law is officially on Remission. Cancer Free!
November 28, 2008 - Marcos and Sylvia get married.
December 9, 2008 - Isaiah Martin Lozano is born
But really. 2008 was the most challenging and testing year thus far. I guess life doesn't get any easier as I age. But this was a slap in the face. A huge bitch slap. I'm hoping for the next 2 weeks to pass so I can ring in 2009 and welcome it with open arms.
