I have done this for a few years now, so here it is again. My year in review, aka the first paragraph of the first entry of every month.

February
I love reading her journal. For valentines she gave me her journal from when she was 17 or 18. I love it. I feel so much closer to her. I feel like I know more about her. It only makes me love her more. She is so cute..was so cute. I feel like I understand her better. I think I know more about her insecurities and her fears. I just love her so much I want to know everything about her. I hope shell let me read another journal some day.
March
She’s right you know. I won’t quit trying to figure her out. I am so interested in everything about her. I hope she always challenges me this way. I would love for us to be in-sync but at the same time I would hate for us to become complacent. I want her to surprise me and me to surprise her always. I don’t want us to get bored with one another.
April
Sometimes she infuriates the hell out of me.
May
She is annoyed that I never update. I just don’t have much I want to say anymore. I'm enjoying life with her. She just moved in this weekend and I like it. I like having her around. I didn’t like having her leave at night and now I never have to deal with that.
June
Dinner was great. I got my favorite thing (crab and lobster stuffed mushrooms) and we split a seafood platter. Dana had never had lobster or fresh crab legs. It was great all around.
July
So I have decided to write about my dad some more. I think I am finally ready to get some of it out here. First I will write out his story and then I’ll write mine. Mine is the hard part. Mine is the part I haven’t really ever said.
August
Well our trip was spectacular. I had lots of fun. I met my moms boyfriend and he's not a bad guy. He is kind of annoying but he makes her happy so I'm ok with it. The trip was great. Ashley and Dana are great traveling companions. We had lots of fun making stops along the way. Each trip took about 8 hours (instead of the usual 5-6) because of our stops.
September
I am off the wagon. I forget this is even here and when I remember I just dont care.
October
I helped a kitty at my apartments. He was hurt (his eye was ruptured it turned out) so Dana helped me take him to the humane society in Fort Worth. I am glad he isnt suffering anymore.
November
Last week at work my boss made a racist joke that I found highly offensive. I told Dana, who subsequently plotted my bosses demise, and decided that I would confront them. The next day I told my coworkers I was uncomfortable with the joke and offended. I thought they got it but today they proved me wrong. My favorite coworker is treating me like she cant say anything cause ill call her a racist. She doesn't seem to understand the difference between making a blatantly derogatory remark about a group of people, making a personal joke, or having an intellectual discussion.
December
I know I did this before but this is a new year and a new contest.
I am dragging into the end of this semester. I cant stand my last two classes. One this week, one next week. LAME! I have one paper left for both classes but I don’t want to start them yet. Procrastinating.
It isn’t that good this year so I think ill take a hint from Ashley and just sum it up myself. Lets see.
I got engaged, moved in with Dana, got a dog, did a little self exploration, went to class - and hated it, went to work - and hated it more, fought with my coworkers, learned a bunch of stuff, read some books, tried out for - and made it into - the vagina monologues, crafted, ignored my friends, saw my family, met two of my moms boyfriends, learned the truth about what happened to my dad, tried to get an exercise routine and failed, tried again and failed, tried again and still going, saved a cat, made blankets for charity, gambled, went on a road trip, saw the extended family, spent a lot of money on my car, watched a ton of movies, participated in black Friday for the first time, drank champagne, saw the faint in concert, took too many pictures.
Overall it was a good year.
I don’t really do resolutions so I can’t say I have goals for the new year.
The only thing I have planned is school. I am rounding the end of my academic program (then I have practicum and internship). This is how it will look. Damn.
