Happy New Year 2009

I am happy to report that I survived the many ups and down's of 2008. Lots of things occurred during that year and the end of 2007 that were great and some that were not so great.
My accomplishments and good things that happened this year:

2. Completed my thesis project on Medication tools for Transplant Patients
3. Rita and Jed came and visited me in Seattle
4. Mom, Dad, Kai, and Benny came to my Graduation
5. I got a job as a staff Nurse at a hospital
6. I went crabbing and salt water fishing for the first time and loved it!!
7. I passed my Nurse Practitioner Boards Exam in November
8.I have a nice boyfriend who loves and cares about me and we do lots of fun things together.

Not so good things:
1. Lots of stress from finishing up Graduate school
2. Lack of money
3. Looming student loan debt
4. Economic Hard ship
5. Gas price up to $4.50 in Seattle. Made driving almost non-existent and pricey
6. Ali my neighbor's Boxer died
7. Car accident ticket(not my fault) will contest in a few days

9. Job searching; difficult and stressful
10. Paying for things like license's and tests that are ridiculously expensive
