One year a-leaping!!

What am I grateful for that happened in 2011?

•  I planned and redecorated all of my room, bought all the furniture and accessories
•  I spent 11 weeks on placement with Tomorrow's People
• I met Charlotte online and we grew to be great friends even before finally meeting at Momentum.
• I became a squaddie adopter with Adopt a British Squaddie. To date I have had 5 soldiers.
• I spent 2 wonderful weeks in Keswick this summer. A*M*A*Z*I*N*G*
• I got a job: a job that I am thankful for and that I enjoy. Long may it continue!

 There are other things of note that I want to mention too; events that were significant for me:

• I met Jenny on my placement and we became very good friends - she now has a baby!
• I applied for the CRP for the 3rd time and didn't even get an f2f!
• Mum and I went to the Forces Festival in Amesbury - and broke down on the way back...
• I spent a lot of periods solidly working; day in, day out. Good for money, bad for soul :-)

And for 2012, I hear you asking/imagining/expecting.... What do I want?

• I want to still have my job
• I want enough work and enough free time to be/feel free and happy
• I want to enjoy my youth
• I want to see new things and meet new faces
• I want to be the best I can be at all that I do

Any highlights?

• Tckets for the Olympics in August!!!
• Going to Whitby in February and Llandudno in April

 Practically  >

• I want to be able to commit to a church family
• I want to sort out my charity giving into regular and organised payments
• We need to sort out all of our stuff and generally be organised & have routines and motivation to do all sorts of things that I'd like to; go to the gym, not hoard stuff, be tidy to all hopefully contribute to a carefree life :-D

 It won't be perfect but I'm quite looking forward to it: here's to the leap year, the year of 2012!!
