Re: Happy New Year! (Everyone come here please)

Hardest moment in 2010? My grandmother passed away in March. She was an incredible woman and my last grandparent, I miss her a ton.

I KNOW we've got some new holiday engagements poking around in here; come say hi! Here's an easy poll for everyone (yes, you, too!) to answer to get things rolling.
Best memory of 2010? Ditto the "getting engaged"
Hardest moment in 2010? My boss left at my job, and turns out he made up my position. It's been totally redefine, and I'm helping out HR - which is what I'm studying in my MBA, but I'm still not thrilled with the position. Better than the alternative though!
What are you most looking forward to in 2011? (Other than your wedding) Finishing my MBA.
What are you most nervous for in 2011? The thought of starting a family - so good nervous.
ETA: After seeing other responses, I also definitely need to include when my dog Smoothie was put down in July. He had cancer and it was for the best, but it was terribly hard.
Hardest moment in 2010?: H went through a lot of drama with his family, which sucked. Especially since there was nothing I could do to help/change things. That, and there wer ea few really trying times at work this year.
What are you most looking forward to in 2011? (Other than your wedding): Hopefully buying a house! My sister also got accepted to the U, so I'm so excited to have her in the same city... instead of 3 hours away.
What are you most nervous for in 2011?: Buying a house! and saving up to start TTC.

Finally moving back to MN after living in SD for 5 years. Last night was also a blast. My 9y.o brother had a "dance party" and we all played Dance Central on his xbox. Watching a 9 year old dance to "Crank That" by Soulja Boy is hilarious! Also spending an entire year being engaged!
Other than getting married of course I'm really looking forward to the family reunion for my mom's side of the family in July. Everyone agreed the wedding weekend would go by too fast to count, but hey I'll take some extra vacation days!
(Hopefully) going back to school in the fall.
Deciding that after 10yr at my job it was time to leave. It was so hard telling my boss and staff, but it was the best for me. OH and all the crapola with my car...
Starting my new job (not in training anymore as of monday) Also of course the wedding. My FI gpa is turning 90 in june so going to TX for that too. OH and getting a new car!
Starting my new job :P Paying for the wedding, and paying for a new car... Money sucks...

And yes, I get that ALL the time about FI's age, he's definitely blessed with the "young looking" genes :-)
Getting engaged takes the cake. Everything else pales in comparison.
Having to put my puppy down. We'd had her for about 9 months and then she got violently ill. There was nothing anyone could do. I'm glad that FI was there for me during that time.
Besides the wedding, hopefully buying a home and getting a full time jiob. I've been underemployed for a long time and really need to get a full time teaching job.
The economy. Like I said, I really need a job. I hope that FI can get one, too, after her graduates.
Hardest moment in 2010?Finding out that my mom had breast cancer 2 months before the wedding
What are you most looking forward to in 2011?Enjoying time with friends, family and my Husband. 2010 was totally crazy with all of the planning, a huge work project and my mom being sick. I'm looking to slow down a little and enjoy life this year!
What are you most nervous for in 2011?I really want to find a better job. I've been at my job for 3 years since college and I'm ready to move into something better and more challenging.
Hardest moment in 2010? Ending a friendship with an incredibly toxic friend.
What are you most looking forward to in 2011? My birthday in 8 days! I'll be 24, whoa! :-P
What are you most nervous for in 2011? Finding wedding venues/vendors that won't make FI, myself and my parents go into debt.
Planning Bio-Added FOR SALE page, will be adding more stuff to it soon!
Getting engaged was ,of course, wonderful. FI getting a house and the two of us moving in together and having my dog finally able to live with us was wonderful too! We also took a fantastic vacation to NYC.
Finding out that my parents were moving and my brother is getting a divorce. Been a lot of family drama that's been extremely difficult to deal with.
I'm looking forward to taking a vacation to SC with FI this year and getting our house in order.
Trying to find a full time job. I hate interviewing!
So In Love
Planning Bio
Adopting Journey (our Boxer) and moving my sister and her family closer (2 miles) from all of us.
Watching my mom go through surgery and healing for hopefully a non-cancerous schwanoma in her neck, most recent surgery last Wed. waiting for path report from Mayo.
Aruba and finally starting a family (I'll be 32 when I get hitched!?)
Starting a family
Getting engaged!
We had to put our dog Boomer down in October.
Graduating from law school!! And getting married!
The bar exam, hands down.
Getting engaged, passing the CPA exam and becoming a godmother to my Best Friends lil girl...
FI g'pa just died before Christmas. 2010 was a great year and it was very sad to end it that way. He's in a better place and not in pain anymore...but FI was very close to him so it was really hard on him.
Getting Married is the obvious...but also looking forward to going on 2 vacations. Honeymoon is the big one but we are also going on a cruise in 3 months. We are a part of a 'vacation club' so it's so affordable to vacation at least twice a year!! Can't wait to get out of the cold!!!!
Planning the wedding. We have 8 weddings before ours so I am nervous about being able to get things done.
Getting enageged to the love of my life! :]]]]
Hardest moment in 2010?
Nothing really other than just school in general
What are you most looking forward to in 2011?
I am most looking foward to getting more planning done this year
What are you most nervous for in 2011?
Juggling school, a job, planning my wedding and being an officer in my sorority.
My Mom's radiation in Jan/Feb. Planning the wedding (I feel SO behind).
Moving in with my fiance this summer was a definite contender.. Also a trip to Beijing, China with my former vocal jazz group from college was awesome!
My parents losing their beautiful lake home due to the economy.
Besides the obvious (getting married!), I am looking forward to starting a new "big girl" job, my first full-time job ever!
Pretty much the two things I mentioned in the previous question, hehe! Nervous about getting everything pulled together (and paid for) for the wedding and nervous about starting my new job--I start in a week!
Happy new year, everyone!
[QUOTE]Best memory of 2010? bringing my first pet, Wesley, home. Now I know why people love their dogs so much! Also, getting engaged was pretty okay. Hardest moment in 2010? nothing really earth-shattering happened, but work really sucked until about a month ago when I got my old job back. What are you most looking forward to in 2011? Besides getting marrried, spending 4 whole days with my BFF during the week of the wedding. We see each other so rarely, I really look forward to it. Hopefully we'll take a honeymoon, too, but that hasn't been decided yet. I'm also looking forward to going back to school and getting a real chocolatier opened, if the economy ever improves. What are you most nervous for in 2011? <strong>Trying to get pregnant. I'm 35 now (as of 12/31/10), and am very worried about being more prone to birth defects because of my age and this will be my first child.
