thanks, 2008! jomama out!

2008 was the year:

we moved into a new house.



hubster and i went on a road trip to portland, oregon. and fell in love. (with the city. we were already in love with each other.)

sweet m. started kindergarten.

little red and the big bad wolf went on a walk through the woods.

the computer crashed and took with it hundreds of music files and thousands of pictures and home videos.


on a more personal note, sharing my depression issues with all of you was really cathartic and a huge step for me in facing how depression has changed me and my life. and i can say that this is the year that i felt most like myself again; more capable, more functioning, more happy, fewer bad days, and even in the really low points, a sense that things can only get better.
