Wow, was that a whiff of surprise I felt when I just wrote that? Have so many of my previous years been really that terrible?
No, not at all, just mostly 'meh'. I'm a bit of a 'meh' person at times... it takes a lot for me to truly kick back and crack open a beer at the end of a year and say, 'you know what? That year rocked!!' I'm usually much more meh. Not sure why... bit concerning, actually.
But I can honestly say I pretty much loved 2010.
♥ In 2010 I spent my first full year in Hong Kong. I got closer to the friends I'd made, found new ones, and gradually crawled further and further towards a home here.
♥ In 2010 we moved apartments into a place B and I feel totally relaxed in.
♥ In 2010 I discovered cooking. Shhhh... don't tell anyone how great it is.
♥ In 2010 all the members of my immediate family visited us in Hong Kong and, right at the beginning, B's family were here too. Seriously awesome stuff.
♥ In 2010 I started my own business. Within a few months I was busting at the seams with work and I'm currently, well, busting at the seams with work.
♥ In 2010 B and I drove through California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Arizona. Hello, view.
♥ In 2010 two of my closest girlfriends got engaged to fantastic blokes. Double swoon.
♥ In 2010 I was awarded a United States green card and became a permanent resident.
♥ In 2010 our family love doubled when we added two little furry critters: Otto and Ted. We carry their hearts.
♥ In 2010 I starred in a movie, a TV show and presented videos for one of the most well-respected media organisations in Hong Kong. So. Much. Fun.
♥ In 2010 I went back to my home town, Sydney, not once, but twice.
♥ In 2010 B and I starred in an American reality TV show.
♥ In 2010 I smiled more than I frowned.
Thank you, 2010. You pretty much rocked!
