As 2014 goes by...

slothiegal · December 2014

I don't usually post this sappy shit, but as the year is coming to an end, it's really something to look back and reflect on. It's been one of the toughest; but without a doubt, one of the most rewarding. I'm truly lucky to be able to call slothieguy my husband and for all of my family and friends who have been there along the way.

What are you all grateful for this past year?

Wish y'all a great 2015!

beethery · December 2014

I am grateful for the family I'm surrounded by, the health of my animals, and the existence of Chipotle and alcohol.

ShesSoCold · December 2014

I'm grateful for my H, my family and the time I had with my mom. I'm ready to tell 2014 to suck it and grab 2015 by the balls.

sarawifenow · December 2014

I'm grateful for my H, my family, and my boss who is just amazing. 2014 had a lot of ups and a lots of downs. I am looking forward to 2015.

climbingsingle · December 2014

I grateful for my husband. And I'm so happy that we were able to have the wedding we did, with all of our family and friends. I'm grateful that we were able to take such a kickass honeymoon.

Liatris2010 · December 2014

2014 had some bumps, but everything worked out A-okay in the end and I am incredibly grateful for that!!!

maeday2 · December 2014

I'm a sucker for being a sap.

I'm grateful that FI and I will finally be together and we have such supportive wonderful families that have supported this crazy ride from day one. I'm grateful that Mister Huckleberry walked into my life and is the most badass dog ever and has only tried to eat FI a couple times. I hate my job, but I'm grateful for the opportunities and experience it's provided me this year. (But I'll be happy to throw up deuces at this building in a few months.)

Best wishes to y'all for an awesome 2015!

cupcait927 · December 2014

I'm grateful for the house we were able to purchase, the beautiful wedding we were able to have, and all of the progress that we've made in our lives, both personally and professionally. 2014 was a whirlwind of really awesome things happening in our lives and we both know how incredibly lucky we are and to certainly take none of it for granted. We're ready for a MUCH slower 2015, however.

This has been such a huge and wild year for me. I had pretty much ruled out dating altogether at the end of last year, and decided to just spend this year working on living the life I want to live, taking the trips I wanted to take, and not taking shit from anyone. I was pretty bored with my job and started realizing that it wasn't really going to ever go anywhere, and realized that I was allowing my life to become stagnant and unhappy because I was staying in my hometown for everyone else, even though that wasn't what I ever wanted. So I started making some changes -- I took a big trip at the end of January, then started working on saving as much money as possible while researching new cities I might want to move to.

Then I met FI and he just fit right into my life in the best way. I said something about wanting to see the botanical gardens on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, because I hadn't been across the border since I was a kid, but none of my friends have passports, and he was just like "Let's go!" So we did. And now we're getting married, and I moved to his city, and we have a big trip planned in May to get married in New Orleans, and soon his company will transfer him and we'll move to a new city. Our life is exciting and comfortable at the same time, and I could never have anticipated this time last year that this would be my life now.

I'm so grateful that I've started taking chances, even the scary ones, and stopped letting people hold me back.

Now I just need to get a job. :P

[Deleted User] · December 2014

I'm grateful for my fiance, myoverall health, a well-paying job, our (new) apartment, and for a family and in-laws who truly care for me.

While there were some bumps in 2014; I can say that I don't have the "good riddance" feeling about this year that I've had about many others.

maeday2 · December 2014

@esstee33 I didn't know you were getting hitched in New Orleans in May! Can I crash?

l9i · December 2014

I thought 2013 had a lot of changes, but so did 2014. I finished my MBA. I practically killed myself to finish it before the wedding along with planning and working fulltime, but I did it! Getting married was a highlight and I'm so thankful for my H and being able to share that day with so many friends and family together. I'm was equally excited for accomplishments in H's life. He began his Masters, got an assistantship, and accepted an internship for a really great company in which we starts next week. He struggled finding jobs with his undergrad so I'm very excited for him that he went back to school and is now finding many opportunities!

2015 may hold some major changes (job relocation) and I/we can't wait!

stefuhknee · December 2014

2014 has definitely been a difficult year for me but I've triumphed with the help of my amazing friends and family. I'm so thankful to be surrounded by so much love. I'm also very thankful for my son who manages to put a smile on my face about 50,000X a day.

Hell yeah! We're driving down there and partying it up in the French Quarter, then getting married at the Algiers Courthouse. Then we might drive over to Florida to drink fruity beverages on the beach before we drive home.

AddieCake · December 2014

I'm grateful that I have my husband by my side for all things, especially our struggles in TTC. We had a failed IVF cycle this past summer, but we have moved on to Plan B, and are going into 2015 with high hopes and a positive attitude!

That sounds perfect. Let me know if you need recs for places to eat/drink while in NO!

Inkdancer · December 2014

2014 can suck it.

I am grateful for my DH, our kitty, and our house. But there was so much drama and bullshit that I am just plain ready to move forward.

Blergbot · December 2014

Wow. This year has been so amazing for me. I'm thankful for my loving H and our fantastic wedding. I'm thankful for our sweet little one, currently gestating in my ute. I'm thankful for our beautiful new home. And I'm thankful (and incredibly releived!) for finishing my Master's program while everything else was going on. Bring it, 2015!

chibiyui · December 2014

I am grateful for H, my family and friends, and having the sort of security in life that I used to dream about.

Instead of having panic attacks multiple times a month, I now get them a couple times a year. I am so grateful that I can go to sleep at night without worry.

lovegood90 · December 2014

I'm grateful for getting a new job in 2014 and exploring this new industry, moving in with BF and creating our little home together, my family and new friends I've made this year, and all the travel opportunities I've been lucky enough to have! Hopefully 2015 brings even more happiness and exciting opportunities

pinkcow13 · December 2014

I'm grateful for FI, our lovely kitties, and all the fun times with family and friends this year. I'm grateful for my job, and the opportunities it has provided me with. And I'm grateful for all you ladies. This was the year I really started posting here, and I'm so thankful to have you ladies throughout this whole wedding planning. You guys kept me same through everything, and I'm happy to say that I've made some real friendships on here.

plainjane0415 · December 2014

I'm grateful for a supportive and hard working FI. I am so lucky that he asked me to marry him! (sap, sap, sappy, sap) I am also very grateful for wonderful parents, and soon to be in laws. And of course forever grateful for our 4 pups. Life really is better with a dog. Or, dogS in my case.

kmmssg · December 2014

I am grateful for DH, our kids, kids in law, and grandkids....and our kitties.

Very grateful for my new job. I went up against 60 other applicants and got it. Feeling pretty blessed on that one.

My inlaw side of the family absolutely rocks, my friends are the best in the world, and my family is healthy. I feel incredibly lucky.

Oh, and we rocked DD's wedding right down to their exact vision and it was a blast!

Oh, girl, please tell me you're going to be there the week of the 18th.

southernbelle0915 · December 2014

Aw, @slothiegal, so sentimental! What a good thread as the year closes out!

We did a ton of fun work on our house this year, really cool to watch it all come together. Had a bunch of fun parties and some really great memories. Otherwise, nothing monumental to report!

2015 holds a bunch of changes for us along with some sweet trips planned, so looking forward to that! Also, I'm going to be an aunt in 2015, so I can't wait to spoil my little niece (they found out!!) as much as possible. And many trips to New Orleans to do it.

morewineplease · December 2014

I am grateful for my FI, family, and the fact that everyone is in relatively good health considering what others I know are going through.

I am grateful that i have a job that allowed me to take off a month for an amazing vacation. I am grateful for my kitties (while missing the one we lost this year).

I'm thankful for my surgery which is giving us better hope at starting a family.

jdluvr06 · December 2014
