It’s time again for my annual Christmas post, just like the ones I did in 2006, 2007, and 2008.

This past year was one of trials and tribulations, and my poor little blog has suffered because of it. The Drama that started early in the year has continued, though it’s leveled out to a point that it’s not driving us to the nuthouse. Mister’s unemployment is related to The Drama, and neither situation is resolved at this point. Also, Mister had a surgery recently, so all this stuff brings a lot of stress, tension, and help-me-before-I-crack moments.

But even in these worst of times, I realized how much Mister and I need each other. How much we love each other. How much we lift each other up. When I spend too much time and energy worrying about him, he’s the one who says, “When you’re out at the store today, why don’t you stop and get yourself something special. You deserve it.” I know I married the most wonderful man in the whole world, and I don’t think either one of us would have made it through this year without each other.

Some good things happened this year as well. I turned Thirty-Five (not sure you can call that a good thing, but whatever), and Mister and I celebrated our First Anniversary. We also took another vacation to New England to visit my family. I miss them and that part of the country a lot, so the vacations there are always nice.

One thing that I don’t think I mentioned here is a promotion! I got a promotion at work last month, due to someone on our team retiring, and I’ve been crazy busy. The extra money is nice, and so is the job security! As busy and crazy as it can get (like now, since I work in finance), I really enjoy my job and the people I work with, which makes it worth it. I’ve been there 2 years now (2 1/2 if you count the time I was there as a temp), and I’m looking forward to many more years.

That about sums up my year. There’s just a week left to 2009, which I’m looking forward to spending with Mister in the most relaxing way possible.

Merry Christmas, everyone.
