Christmas has come and gone and it just didn't feel like Christmas this year. Some years the merry is in it, other years life has the opposite effect. It wasn't a bad Christmas, far from it but for some reason I just didn't settle into the spirit. I think the past 2 months were so busy that I just didn't take the time to take everything in and appreciate what a wonderful year this has been. Without further ado here's my Christmas spirit!
There were things that weren't great also but I have to say that overall nothing was horrible. I still have to work on my weight issues, on eating a healthier diet, and incorporating exercise; things that I need to think and act upon. I have goals that I want to attain in the near future. I know there will be things that I will need to plan out carefully and others that will come quickly but all in good time. A toast to the old year, thanks for being kind, and to the new year lets hope you are a good one too!
- This year I was so lucky to meet some great people and see some wonderful people again. A friend from South America was here for 4 months and we had a great time! I made a new friend from my other home country - Mexico. Life is a lot better when you have wonderful people around you :)
- I got to go to Austin to see Juanes live in concert at Austin City Limits Live TV and it was awesome! I love that show and I hope to go to the festival some time in the future.
- I was part of a happy event in a friends life. Being a bridesmaid is always a lot of work, especially when you're the only one freaking out! The bride was so blasé that I felt the need to stress for her! No I kid, she was blasé but I tend to stress until after the event. After the wedding I was so relaxed :)
- I got to go to Santa Fe, a place I have always wanted to visit.
- Work was extremely productive and I learned so much! I have to say that work has ceased being a grindstone and I enjoy going in now. I also haven't felt the itch to move on! Usually a year in and I'm checking job sites.
- I have learned how to make delicious and simply gingerbread cookies.
- I had a wonderful birthday!
- I presented an awesome poster at a mini-conference.
