Good morning 2013! Oh how I hope you will be good to me. It's been a year of long, honest, and tiring perseverance with very little reward. Yet there was some. I got engaged to the most amazing man I have ever met. My best friend and confident. My person. So that was essentially the best day ever.
The rest of the year however, has been long and tiresome. I feel like comparing myself to a hobbit, except he has his own hobbit hole. I had started on a crazy journey last year and followed it through an awesome but temporary job, a cheap and reasonably lousy job, a terrible awful black hole of a life job that didn't last, gaining and losing friends, road trips, hurdles, new household residents of the munchkin variety, not enough running, struggles, faith and much more. I don't know why I used a hobbit as a reference. Possibly because I feel relation with the little fellow in his long and difficult quest, but most likely because I just saw the movie and read the book. Too much awesome to be contained in my mind where hobbits are concerned.
Last night was an interesting end to the year, it was planned for weeks to be a fun get together of friends and movies, and ended up visiting with family and old family friends, discussing politics and where we are now. All the while holding desperately on to my immaturity through playing lego's with my nine-year-old cousin and wearing polka-dotted leggings.
And now here I am, in a whole new year, with all new chances to make this year the "Best year ever" before it all gets out of control and takes off like a bat outta hell. Off to work, off to friends, of to adventures, off to big crazy dreams and plans.
But first, coffee.
Love,
Alice
