2005 THE YEAR IN REVIEW
I am so glad that, this year of 2005 is finally coming to a close. It seems as though, I say that every year. I can't remember when, we've had a productive, uneventful year. I only have one resolve this year. Hopefully, and God willing, I will be able to find a decent job. That is the plan anyway. My husband and I also, have decided to surround ourselves with nothing but positive people. We went through a short period this past summer where; we were around a bunch of, positive energy sucking, drama freaks. Those people couldn't seem to manage their drink intake, marriages, children, finances, and work worries without envolving everyone else.
We also have a dear freind, who was almost fatally killed by a drunk driver this past May. He is still taking physical thereapy twice a week, and is driving now. He is still not back to work yet, but atleast he's still with us. On the upside, he and his fionce' bought a new home, and will close on it next week. Sadly enough, my family lost our beloved Shar Pei Maverick, to kidney failure this past November. He was 9 years and 11 months old, when he passed. It was one of the hardest things that, we as a family ever had to endure. We still miss, and love him so very much.
Unfortunately, we also lost a wonderful woman who was like an Aunt to my son, my husband, and I. Aunt Sue died unexpectedly Thanksgiving. She laid down for a nap that evening, had a heart attack in her sleep, and never woke up. That funeral was very hard to attend. It was also, our 11 year old son's first funeral. My Aunt Ruby, has also suffered physically from numerous illnesses this past year, and had to be put in the Nursing Home until she recovers. She will probably be released in mid January, and be able to go home.
Still remaining on the dark side of this year, my Cousin Kathy also lost her Sister Edna. She too had been sick for a very long time. However, on the lighter side, we managed to reconnect with our long lost Cousin Rusell. We regained contact with his brother Tom last year. Happily enough, our middle son, is in the school band this year, and is leaning to play the trumpet. In July, we also adopted another dog. Our boxer puppy, named Tigger. He is buck wild, and potty training really did stink. Another proud moment was this past summer was, when my parents celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary July 2nd. We also managed to, ditch the jerks next door who were renting the house. It is so very quiet now, with the new renters.
On December 22nd, the newest addition to our family was born. She has not come to live with us yet. However, I have already named her Noel. Our Boxer Tigger, his Mother had her second litter of puppys. She will get to come and live with us sometime in February. The beginning of December was quite trying. Both my Mom and I were in the Hospital. She had a mild heart attack, and I had a Hysterectomy. Yes, my Delivery Room is permanently closed now. In the beginning I thought that, having this surgery was one of the most dumbest things that I had ever done. The pain was worse then having my son. Although, I am on the mend, and not regretting my decision.
Lastly, and on the highest point of my year was, when my husband and I celebrated out sixth Wedding Anniversary in November. We're still managing to stay happy and together. Keep it real in 2006 ya'll!
