I prefer Berlin very much to Amsterdam ! It is the city I could totally imagine living there .

I have so many high points from this year that it is hard to decide. One that i can't really share but suffice to say that a line was crossed that i have never crossed before and that is something nothing can ever remove from me.

We have also had orgers galore at our house creating so many fine memories and laughs.
However April 7th 2008 will be forever a happy memory that many of you guys shared with us also.

Thanks for all your wishes and sharing our journey.

That is what some are referred to as here

Shoot. I'm glad you made this thread. Let's see: I moved (again) on 1/5 to a great little apartment.

Right around that time, a neighbor girl from my hometown named Courtney lost her long bout with a rare form of cancer. She was only 17. Her funeral (my first ever) was easily the worst day of my life. I'm constantly reminded by her incredible, wise outlook on life and how insane it is at how the least deserving individuals are plucked early from this place. The only good thing any us who miss her can take out of it are the proverbial cliche' life-appreciation mentions which I'll spare for now.

My best friend's little brother and his new wife had a very premature baby in the spring, and in my utter hopelessness I created a thread begging for any hope you all could throw me. Your thoughts and prayers worked and she's a happy, healthy girl, despite being born at a little over a pound.

Mid year, I finally took action on several health-related issues right in the nick of time. Progress is slow and the meds are hell, but things will look up with patience.

I'm ending my second semester as a (finally) full-time student, and I'm loving it. It's a pathetically poor life, but a person can get used to almost anything. It will be worth it.

I thank you for the thread as it reminds us all to kick a little ass in '09.

I'm still trippin out that you guys are married I wish the best for you both, I really do

The best moment for me this year was doing a presentation on the power of forgiveness in front of a public speaking group and finding that I had the ability and a voice to speak my message. The runner up is the Org's music project which has really taken those moments with the public speaking group and brought them to life. Amazing.
