2009

I feel that this year has been the best and eventful year of my life. I could go on and on and write a easy but who wants to read all of that. Lets keep it as simple as possible with the events in order from Jan to December.

I was laid off in January then mid February the company closed their doors.
Cody and I and with two good friends left for Vegas the first of February and got MARRIED. -We had a wonderful time and would do it again in a heart beat.
My grandmother got very Ill and help with taking care of her until the end of April- she is doing great now and getting back to normal.
In April I decided that enough was a enough and I began to start doing a "life style change"and began to exercise and eating right.
I found that I had alot of extra time during my job hunting so -I started volunteering at the local animal shelter - If only my dogs knew how good they have it.
Speaking of dogs- Mr. Bo landed kind of on our door step in May - Bella is okay with it now.
Did I mention he was a puppy- we have lost alot of things due to him learning but wouldn't change a thing.
I been reading my aunts blog for a long time....and decded to open up my own blog.
I started back to work temporary at the end of July doing payroll for a company - It was great getting up in the morning and working again.
We took another trip to Vegas in October- We had another great time. We called it Honeymoon take II.
My temporary job had ended but started working with a old co-worker/friend doing recruiting in the same week.
We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed being with friends and family.
I lost a little over 40 pounds this year.
My husband, family, friends and I are in great health and that is the best thing out of my 2009!

I am ready for the New Year. Lets bring on 2010.

On a Serious Note

I will be the first to admit Holidays can become long with traveling and eating than running to the next house. However, this year I am looking at it differently.

A close friend to Cody and I passed away today with Cancer. He found out this past March by going to the ER for a tooth that wouldn't stop bleeding. 12 hours later they were letting him know he had one of the worst kinds of cancer and he was far worst stage. 2 days after that he started chemo. He had cancer of the blood. He played off the and even acted like it was nothing. But after spending countless days in the hospital (more in the hospital than home) this year. Countless chemo treatments and the last biopsy revealed that the leukemia was back again. With 8 full body radiations treatments and 2 strong chemo rounds, the doctors said at Thanksgiving he needed to go home and live life has comfortable as possible and gave him a week to live.

He went home and lived life as much as he could. Laughed with family and friends, hosted parties, played poker at home with friends and just made people laugh. He even told his mom (who is 70 plus years old) "Mom don't be all upset you are old and you will probably follow right be hind me in a few weeks"
December 21st more than 3 weeks after the news he finally let God take him and let me be in a better place. He left a Wife, a son and a daughter.

RIP Mark Rozzi

Merry Christmas!!!!

Pay Phone

Today I seen a pay phone for the first time in a long time. I know that sounds crazy, but I have not seen one for a while since almost EVERYONE has a cell phone. I think you can consider them "outdated".


Have you seen a payphone lately?
