Re: How was 2011 and what are u looking forward to in 2012

Great idea!

The Good
Getting Engaged & finding this board- I seriously would be SO lost without all of these great ideas here.
Reaching 110% of my fundraising goal at work.
Getting a story for my organization on NY1 News- we had an 8 year old New Yorker of the Week!
Moving in with FH.
Booking all of our major vendors
Road trip to FL with my FH to see his family

The Bad
FH spending a week in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism- he missed his entire semester b/c of the hospital stay.
Even though I am happy to live with FH, it's hard moving away from my hometown and my quick commute to the city!

2012
Saving saving and more saving
Kicking a** even more at work
Losing weight
Getting FH gainfully employed once again
Getting into a Masters program

Thank you! He was only 18 months at the time, which is why we spent so long at the hospital. Within a month he was fine, and now its just a thing of the past. No marks or anything! It was horrible as a mom to see him in that pain Worst part was, I was maybe 10 feet from him, but I wasnt able to get there to stop the cup from tipping over.. Hoping 2012 is much kinder to us

Good in 2011:

Healthy, happy families & friends

Went to Disney World twice
Las Vegas trip
Fiance' got a raise at work!

And our hopes for the that to continue into 2012 and beyond for us and for all of you as well!

Re: How was 2011 and what are u looking forward to in 2012

as far as years, it's not so much 2012 that i'm worried about--it's being 28. 27 was an amazing year: got engaged, bought a house, adopted a puppy and scored my dream job. There's no way 28 can compare. I already sprained my ankle badly that apparently didn't heal right, have been more sickly and more broke than ever!
blahhh ..28 sux!
but 2012 brings my brothers' weddings and FH & I are that much closer to our own wedding!

ETA- TWOTY, more 2013 G2G in 2012
