I always do these!
1. Was this a good year for you?
Definitely! I certainly had my low points, but this year was very good as a whole.
2. What did you do this year that you'd never done before?
Got engaged, drove through a drive-thru (I've always been terrified of them), enjoyed a job in the entertainment industry.
3. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Last year I wrote that my goal was to "keep a job" and I'll say that was pretty successful. I worked at the same company throughout 2010. This year my resolution is to learn to drive stick!
4. What was your favorite moment of the year?
Seeing Mike down on one knee at Disneyland with a big fat engagement ring.

When I thought I was never gonna get a job that I enjoyed in the entertainment industry and wanted to move home and go back to school.
