2008 is almost over

2008 is the year of the rat. The year of the rat is believed to eat away all the bad in your life; debt, relationships, jobs, etc. It has been a difficult year but it held true. I got a new job in December 07, we gave our home up in March, Steve lost his job in June, and because of all this our relationship has become stronger. I started weight watchers in -4/2008 and have lost 40 pounds. We have done 2 major hikes this year and lots of small ones. We went to NY in September and have tons of day trips around the Pacific Northwest. Hopefully 2009 will be more mild then 2008. Only time will tell. I want to hike more and drink less or no diet soda. Happy New Year.
