Happy New Decade

Posted on January 1st, 2010 by Pamela in Uncategorized

A few weeks ago I had an urge to throw a party for New Years rather than have the usual quiet evening in with a few friends. I didn’t put a ton of stock into my decision, it was an impulse that  I felt needed to be done.

I don’t know, maybe it was because I’m feeling like I need to celebrate even though the life event that I am still waiting for (settlement) is still on the horizon and I’m tired of waiting for something to party about. Or maybe subconsciously I knew that it was the close of a very significant decade in my life. The last 10 years have brought the biggest changes  that I have ever experienced and possibly ever will. Its hard to imagine another one that will be as  life changing. If it is, I’d like to know, I think I need to catch up on more sleep in order to pull off another 10 years like that.

To reflect:

  • Moved to Waterloo
  • Travelled to Morocco, Chile, Colorado, Western Canada,  Cuba, Congo, Germany, Italy, Ecuador.
  • Made fantastic new friends.
  • Began singing with the GPC
  • adopted Autumn
  • “slight” altercation with a school bus.
  • massive recovery from altercation.
  • met and married Chris (yay!)
  • mourned the loss of my dad
  • probably laughed as much as I cried.

I think I did pretty good, and of course I couldn’t have done it without my God and my incredible family and friends.

(feel free to comment on anything I may have missed, 10 years is a lot to go over, especially after partying it up the night before)

Now for what’s to come…
