Well its been a busy year with many ups and downs, and hardships but I managed to push through and come out on top as per my usual peppy style :3.

This year I had to deal with the loss of my best friend and this coming Christmas marks 1 year since her passing. It has been a tough year for a lot of things, because of this. Her and I had a lot of plans and things we had wanted to do together this year. As well as any family gatherings as she was usually there as well. But I focus on the memories and deal with the bad times as they come and I know I have a fantastic support system behind me :3

Work has continued to be excellent. I absolutely love my job and co workers and wouldn't change them for the world. We are most definitely a crazy lot. But sometimes I think that comes with the territory...I mean who wants to go to a job where your patients try to bite, and scratch you and when that doesn't work they poop and pee all over you? Not everyone it takes special people to want to do that.....We AHT's are a special bunch of individuals with a love of animals as our common driving force.

I was also lucky enough this year to by some stroke of luck land a most fantastic boyfriend. He stuck with me even when I wasn't making things easy. He could have walked away but he didn't and I can't express how happy I am that he didn't. I have found someone who can make me smile no matter what mood i'm in. Who will listen to me when I need someone to just talk to. He seems to know what makes me tick so to speak. I know I'm a difficult person. I hide behind biting sarcasm and anger when I get into situations where I'm out of my element or where I'm trying to hide what I'm really feeling and this tends to push people away or make things difficult... but I'm working on it. And I hope I get many more days and adventures with him. Its never a dull moment when we're together even if its just cuddling on the couch watching tv. He puts up with the crazy antics of me and my 3.5 Australian Shepherds....and tolerates me telling him his cat his overweight and needs to go on a diet...I'm an AHT I have this compulsion to fix animals....even if its just to lose weight..... XD I am very luck to be dating such a wonderful guy. I really really am. Its been 5 months and I'm not turning back. I want to see where this takes us however far that might be. Its an adventure and one that I look forward to. Love ya babe <3


Yes its been a year of ups and downs but I think the ups far out weigh the downs. 2012..bring it on. I look forward to the challenges the New Year is going to present.
