cliche

2008 is on its way out, so here is my cliche' blog summing up the 12 months that have just passed...

i started the end of 2007 with a new job and welcomed 2008 in that same place.
we had a some losses, Ray Morales and Lewis Matteson. Both were greatly loved and have been and will be missed almost as much. we had a couple additions as well. Madison and Jones (my new niece and nephew) were introduced to the world late in 2008.

in 2008 we saw and felt change. our country hit economic bottom (or close to it), we lost an inexcusable amount of troops, jobs were lost, and i am not sure that the world will be the same. we have a new president. i, like the majority of voting americans, rejoiced. the media gained a new phrase "post-racial politics" (i think this is an inaccurate statement considering that we are calling something post racial. i think it will only be "post racial" when we don't notice.. which won't happen).

planets were subtracted from our solar system..
ted kennedy died.
the titans actually played a pretty good season
vanderbilt made it to a bowl game (and MIGHT win)
one of my best friends moved away...

i don't have any resolutions. i am not able to resolve anything at this point in time and may not be able to do so for awhile. i will try. i will try to show love more, i will try to learn things that i don't already know, i will try to confirm things that i think may be true, i will try to be a better friends, daughter, employee and wife.

i will try to be better and i hope we all will try to do the same.
