Happy New Year!

It's been a long time since I blogged, I know, but I'm pretty sure no one really reads this anyway, so I'm sure I really haven't been missed. Unless I'm wrong. If so, I apologize for my absence.

I'm just doing what probably everybody else is doing today. No, not trying to fish bare handed. That's later. I mean reflecting on 2010 and either they're excited for 2011 or are feeling uninspired because you'd think by now we'd have hover cars, so what's the point?

This year has been extremely crazy and my life has gone through so many changes. At this time last year I was getting ready to go to a party at my brother in-law's apartment. I had hope for 2010 being a sweet year because why wouldn't it be? I was married and life was pretty good. We had a scary holiday season that year because shortly before Thanksgiving Chris was let go from the waterpark and we were terrified we were going to lose the house. Thankfully, he found a job two weeks later and we were fine. Still shaken up, but fine. Anyway, we were looking forward to 2010 and knew it was going to be great. My birthday followed shortly after (as it usually does) and life continued (as it usually does). February rolled around and Chris asked me for a divorce. I felt blindsided and didn't know what to do. We decided to go into counseling and everything was gong to be fine. In April, I went to the Beachbody Coach Summit and my life changed. Not because of what was being said at the Summit, but because I was in LA and I fell in love with it. I went home, but not completely. As cheesy as it sounds, my heart was left in LA. Anyway, things at home weren't going well. Chris and I filed for divorce and it was finalized in July. In August I took a vacation to LA just to make sure moving here was what I really wanted, and it definitely was. I moved here on Sept. 7th. It was one of the best days of my life.

Tonight I'll be at Knott's Berry Farm on a date. I keep thinking to this time last year and I was at a party with my husband. Now I'll be ringing in the New Year with a different man in a different town on the opposite side of the country. I want to say I have mixed feelings about it, but I don't. I'm happy. Just happy.

2010 was a roller coaster of a year. I'm very grateful for it because I learned a lot and have grown so much as a person. I'm really looking forward to the changes that 2011 will bring. I'm sure it will be great!
