The Good:

- I had my girl for a good few weeks over the Summer and again during her Fall Break. And I got to go home to Nashville during her Spring Break.

- Not only having my girl here, but actually being able to afford to take her out and buy her things that she wants. I actually got teary buying her an American Girl doll.

- We found & moved into our amazing new apartment that I'm in love with. Seriously, being 5 walking distance away from the beach is awesome.

- Getting my sweet Penny. I've wanted a boxer of my own for well over 10 years and it's finally happened. She's such a sweet girl and getting better at not getting into things by the day.

- My "little sister" coming to visit. I hadn't seen her in almost 10 years. I'm so glad we're back in touch and that she's doing so well for herself. She's awesome.

- X Japan. Never in a million years did I think they would get back together, much less come to the U.S. for a concert. Forget about me ever getting to be there if it WERE to happen. That was probably the highlight of my life, not just the year. I seriously was in tears during the entire show, I was so happy. And dumbfounded. And in shock & awe. I keep my light up wristband thing in my purse actually lol.

The Bad:

- Moving to NYC. It's actually a mix of good/bad. I really didn't want to move again. I was ready to be home in Nashville and stay there. But..... It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. And I realize I'm lucky to have it. I also realize more now that I really truly am a Southern girl and always will be. Which is good.

- The anniversaries of my mom's & aunt's passing. And with that, having to go through my first birthday without her.

- My brother & his wife moving in with my dad. They're absolutely horrible people.
