Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes…

Today marks my one year in the working world…wow one year in Edmonton…boy how times flies…

Since it’s time for rent increases, car insurance renewals and all that fun stuff I figured it’s probably time see what I’ve done with myself.

When people ask me what’s up, my usual reply is nothing much. And a lot of times I feel like I’ve been moving backwards, but a lot actually has happened this past year and I’ve actually learned a lot.
Strange though, how far where I thought I’d be can be from where I actually am.

Just a few of the things that happened this year:

- First real job
- First car
- First car accident
- First life insurance policy
- First electric guitar (that dream of becoming a rock star however may take longer than I thought to realize)
- First family reunion
- First experience of –45C weather (with no wind-chill)
- First high school reunion (…which I couldn’t get time off to go to)
- First Futon (bought 8 months after I moved here)
- First heartbreak
- Baby sister goes off to university
- First two engagements of ACF people in my year
- Attended 2 weddings and a funeral
- First resignation

Thanks to all those who have been here for me, put up with my whining, laughed with me and cried with me...love you guys =)


And of course to end off I will quote my favorite musical (I’ve never seen but know all the words to):

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love?
Measure in love. Seasons of love.

525,600 minutes, 525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?

In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned, or the way that she died.
It's time now to sing out, tho the story never ends
let's celebrate remember a year in the life of friends.

Remember the love...Measure in love...

finally bought a blender...am having a fruit smoothie...YUM!
...also signed up for kung fu classes...hope i am not becoming davin, i kinda like having hair :P

*Delete Forever*

Finally took the courage to clean out my inbox.
263 emails full of inside jokes, plans, promises, apologies and prayers…that are no more…
figured it’d be easier without them sitting there reminding me all the time, but made the mistake of reading one…it just feels like it’s all happening all over again…and once again I lose.

my baby sister's gone off to university....boy does that make me feel old.
