times, they are a'changin.

at year's end, i guess it's normal for people to start feeling a bit nostalgic about where the time has gone. it is so hard for me to believe that it's almost christmas already. this past weekend at home, i started thinking about all the things that have changed in the past year.

September 2010

last year, hubby was working at the bottom of his company's ladder answering customer service calls with a horrible work schedule. this year, he's moved up three or four pretty significant rungs and is actually involved in the testing and development of the games during normal 9-5 business hours.

last year, i was cramming for my last b.a. finals at csu fullerton and preparing my graduate school applications. i had no idea if i would get into graduate school, or where i would end up going. this year, i'm finishing up my first year of graduate school at the top ranked program in the state.

last year, we had one fun-loving kitten. this year, we have two.

last year, we had a 'functional' apartment with no personality. this year, our apartment is our favorite place in the world.

it's crazy to think about how much has changed this last year. but it's even crazier to think about all the things that will probably change in the next year.

next year, i will finish my academic classes in school and will be looking for a job. my cousin will have a six month old baby.hubby could be designing video games. our best friend could be married. my baby sister could have a degree.

while it's sad to see another year end, it's nice to be able to look back and see the great things that have happened to us and the progress we're making in life. the coming year is going to be so exciting, scary, amazing, nerve-wracking, sad, happy, and full of change. and i really can't wait to see where it takes us.
