What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004? Our own place to live, a job in London, stability of any sort, energy and better health.

What were your biggest achievements of the year? Not having a nervous breakdown, depression and maintaining my sanity. Growing and expanding my horizons. Learning patience and more trust in Jehovah.

What was your biggest failure? Mmmm, I wish I had planned out the wedding better. And regardless of how others felt made more of an effect to spend time with them.

Did anyone close to you give birth? Nope, not yet.

Did anyone close to you die? I wasnt that close to her but my great-aunt died last month.

Did you suffer illness or injury? Illness. Im always sick with something or other. I have Epstein's Barr so it makes me tired all the time.

What was the best thing you bought? My wedding dress.

How will you remember 2004? As the year my life changed forever...for better or worse. =)


Bye-bye, 2004......
