How was your 2011?

[DreamfulSpirit]

The majority of the year was great...the latter part got bad.

My husband and I got new jobs that we LOVE and moved to Atlanta! We got married in June, honeymooned in July.

My oldest dog, Rusty, had to be put down in November. Originally diagnosed with pancreatitis, but I think it really was cancer. She was 13.

My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 49 on Tuesday. Doctors are saying they caught it early though! I think that is the best Christmas present I can ask for!

We got 2 new grandsons and had some good times but we also had some bad things happen right out of the blue. Oh please, 2012, be tons better than 2011!

Lots of ups and downs:

I was employed at the start of 2011 after being out of work for close to 2 years. Then, I was laid off again in July. I'm still looking for work and am set to make a complete career change come the New Year.

My husband, on the other hand, had a MUCH better year business-wise than 2010, which was a godsend when I lost my job this summer. Going forward, things look good for him.

My mom finally sold her house in FL and is up here living in PA near us full-time.

We lost two relatives in November: My husband's uncle died suddenly on the 8th, and 2 days before Thanksgiving we lost my father-in-law (brother of said uncle) to colon cancer. My father passed away 4 years ago in November as well, so needless to say it's not our favorite month. Fortunately, everyone else in the family seems to be doing well health-wise.

Hopefully 2012 will be filled with many more ups than downs!

This summer is when I received my scholarship for the New York Film Academy and my family and I made the decision to move to NYC next Fall. So, I'm definitely hoping and praying that 2012 is our year!

Yes, 2012, please be better!

Both my husband and I lost our jobs. That cast rather a pall over everything.

On the plus side - everyone I love is healthy. That's huge.

Better than 2010.
