just a reflection

oh 2010, you've done me good and you've done me bad. 

2010 has brought many laughs, and many tears. i can't thank my family and friends enough because without them, i couldn't have made it through.

in january, i got to ring in the new year with doc, even though he burnt his arm, and it was a complete disaster, i was one lucky girl being able to spend it with him.
in february, doc was in soi, and while i did not get to spend valentines day with him, i got the most beautiful arrangement of flowers from him.
in march, i got to marry my absolute best friend. i got to fly to hawaii for the first time, and spend five wonderful days with him. while i was in hawaii, one of my best friends kyla got to move to texas. 
in april, i was honored to be in one of my best friends wedding. i wish amber and kelly nothing but a life time of happiness. 
in may, i finished my first year of college, and the last couple of days i got to fly out to hawaii. my cousin jared got married, and it was wonderful to see all my family together again. 
in june, i got to spend a week with doc in beautiful hawaii. i also moved out to live with bethany and start an adventure living on my own. i also had to say 'see ya later' to amber as she moved off to cali to be with kelly.
in july, i celebrated my 19th birthday in hawaii with doc. it was such a surprise to be able to spend it with him, and even though 19 isn't a 'big one' i loved being able to spend it with him, even if i was a complete fool, and got roasted in the sun.
in august, doc went off to training for six weeks, and i started my second year of college at highland. i was also offered a full time job at the alumni center, and started august 1st. i got to book doc pre-deployment flight home for october...a countdown to look forward to! my amazing cousin emily got married, and i was very excited that i got to be apart of her special day :)
in september, doc and i celebrated our three year anniversary :)
in october, the countdown to doc coming home was finally over! he was home for two full weeks, and it was the best two weeks ever!  i was one lucky girl, being able to fly out to hawaii again and go to the Marine Corps birthday ball.
in november, i had to say my final 'see ya later' to my best friend. he's currently in afghanistan fighting for our country, and i couldn't be more incredibly proud of him. i got to start working on my very first care package and i got to send it.
in december, i received numerous phone calls and a few letters from doc. i had to celebrate christmas without him, but received the best christmas gift a girl could ask for, a phone call. 

i know 2011 will bring many more laughs and many more tears, some happy and of course some sad. i'm so ready for june to be here and be able to tell myself i've made it. i can't wait to see doc again, and i know it will be one of the happiest days of my life. just like 2010, i know i won't be able to make it through 2011 without the love and support of my family and friends <3
