- Got married - Had my out of town family to my house (for the wedding in my backyard) and was proud to show it off. - Took the wife with me to Toronto on business, had a great vacation. - Ditto, only to Atlanta. - I was healthy (for the most part) all year long. - Got a promotion (kinda) at work. Just a reworking of my title. But it really eased the stress. - Found out who my REAL friends are and grew closer to them. - On a sad note, attended services for a friend who was killed in Iraq. - Honestly feel like a real mentor to my best friend. - Have seen my wife grow as a person and actually recognized it happening at the moment, it was breath taking. She's amazing.
There are so many more, but these popped into my head.
Wow, 10?! 10 is a lot! These are in no order. 1. Getting the job I have now 2. Losing the job I had before I got the current one 3. Um, something really personal happening that has never happened to me before 4. The thing that happened with the person related to #3 5. Sometime during this year I quit writing 6. Developing a new close friendship 7. Reconnecting with someone I knew a long time ago and what's been going on there 8. Dealing with a chronic health issue, finally 9. Me and this other person doing the thing again which we both really need to stop 10. My dog having 3 teeth pulled under general anesthesia.
Okay, these are also in no particular order: --The birth of my 3rd son --Seeing my husband graduate with his master's degree --Making the move to a new city and state --Surviving another year with severe depression (but surviving because of medication!) --Getting offered a job during the interview --Becoming closer to people who were once mere acquaintances but are now my best friends --Turning 30 and being in a good mood all day --Making my 4 year old's dream Halloween costume at the last second with just stuff from around the house and having people recognize that he was Obi Wan Kenobi --Started playing my flute again --Getting to play my flute in a really good group

Not sure if I can pinpoint 10, and these aren't in any particular order... Here goes... (And later prioritized.)
#3-Getting a new job-- one I actually like!
#4-Celebrating 1 year at our current residence.
#7-Going to a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, 30 feet off the front corner of the stage.
#2-The children were healthy all year long.
#5-We bought a new car!
#6-Celebrating a full year of blogging on "People Say Stupid Things."
#8-"Heroes," the best TV show to come on in years, IMO.
#1-Closing the book on a long, dark chapter in my life so I can open a new one!
