Blogo-versary Review

I missed my blogo-versary ... I remembered it before and after, but it slipped my focus on the actual day. I'll use the excuse that it was Friday and I was distracted by the slow collapse of my world.

But, I thought it was time for an annual review of sorts.

Where was I then? I was still dating Bean. Things were admittedly shaky, we'd already broken up & gotten back together and I'd moved out and was living with Loulou. Not the ideal place to be in when you've been dating for 2 & half years, but I guess it was a sign of things to come. It's 9 days to the anniversary of the end of our partnership. And I'm not sad. I haven't been anything more than certain I did the right thing back then for a long time.

And all that really means is that it's coming up for a year that Varen has been more than just a friend in my life :) It certainly doesn't seem that long at all but, with all our ups and downs, we're still together and we're still going strong.

I've bought myself a new car and have decided to invest in a house of my own. I traveled to Kenya, Uganda & the DRC (definitely a spot that's not on very many tourist's list), I saw the mighty Mountain Gorilla's up close and in person and watched as hordes of Wildebeest made their annual trek across the Masai Mara.

Technically I was sort of promoted into a Team Lead role at work this year as well. Now let's all just hope it becomes obvious by my pay package after Feb ;)

It's been quite year and it's all been recorded here online for posterity. I hope you've enjoyed the experience and ups & downs as much as I have (the ups for than the downs, obviously).
