Thread: The best thing that happened to you in '08?

What was the best thing that happened to you or your family in 2008?

For me, I have a few.

I got some really killer deals! (Thanks everyone) I have enough shampoo, and paper products for the next year if not 10. I already have Christmas presents for 2009.

I was able to travel twice to MI, to meet a wonderful person! Who is now family! (atprm)

I have made some wonderful friends here! (Thank you!) When times were going bad I was happy to say you all were here for me!

Dh and I still have jobs, and gas in our cars. Even though we worried about both things! My dd has straight a's and my ds loves his new school.

I may not have a million dollars or the ups package everyday, but thats ok. There is always next year, right.....

I think the best part of the year was that all 3 of my adult Sons are doing good. All are healthy, fairly happy, all are working and we didn't have to loan or help any of them financially! That in itself is a shocker..lol

I have the BEST husband on earth and we both have been able to travel (Mexico 3 times this past year) and continue to work and prosper. He adores me and I love him so much.

Even though I would l would love to sell it (cross your fingers we have an offer) our mobile home park is full and profitable and we actually have pretty decent tenants! Thats been a lot less stress.

Oh WAIT!!!!!! The best part is I lost almost 50 lbs and I FEEL great!!!!!!!!!

My hubby got back into the job he left several years ago and is happier than ever in his work life.

I went back to school.

My kids are healthy and properly diagnosed.

I found out that even tho my family isn't there for me I have friends I've never met face to face that I know I can turn to, even if just for a b%$&hfest.

for us, we were blessed with an extension of long-lost-family and a couple who are fun to be with (beso/E).

for us, also, we commenced communications with my relatives in Poland -- something that we otherwise could not have accomplished if it were not for my cousin STILL being able to speak Russian (she talks to dh who translates into English).

DH did NOT die when he totaled moms truck 3 days after we buried her.
