Hey all. Just had some thoughts about 2010 and I thought I'd share. After FI and I watched the ball drop last night, I was thinking about all of the things that had happened in 2010. FI and I had some really high highs, like getting engaged, moving into an apartment together, and getting a dog. We also had some really low lows, like the suicide of our friend and the toll of law school on our relationship.
It makes me so sad that Tyler couldn't have been here with us to celebrate a new year. He should have been there with us, sitting on the sofa, making some comment about a slutty girl he knew who could "suck start a leaf blower". He was so funny and brilliant. I really miss him. I guess the grieving process is supposed to be a really long one.
As hard as Tyler's death was (and still is for me), I'm really glad I have FI. He truly is my very best friend and I'm very lucky to have him. He puts up with my shiit. He is always there for me. He never judges me. He treats me like a queen. He hugs me and strokes my hair when I cry and laughs with me when something is funny.
If you'd told me last year at this time everything that would have happened this year, I would've never believed it. But I'm glad I have FI by my side for all of the surprises that will inevitably come my way.
Sorry for the rambling, mushy post. It was just what was on my mind. I hope 2011 has good surprises for all of you. You're all wonderful women and I'm glad to be a part of NEY with you.
