Reverb 10 | Prompt 1| One Word

Here is what reverb is all about. Go and read and participate if you like. I'm playing catch up so I will have two posts on this today.

Prompt 1

Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you are choosing that word. Now image that it is one year from today, what would you like your word to be that captures 2011 for you.

My word that I chose to try and do was determined. I was determined to do many things, such as lose weight (which I did, but need to lose more), keep up with scrapbooking, and just to finish all those projects that have been sitting around the house just screaming to be complete.
I wasn't great but I wasn't terrible either. It has taken me some time to get adjusted to all the change this year. Which really should have been my word for the year. My father said it best, it is the year of change. So far this year here are some of the changes.
  • I had Max January 1, 2010
  • My parents separated after being together 35 years
  • We did a huge international move from England to the US (Oklahoma specifically)
  • We bought our first house
  • We paid our first mortgage
  • My parents start dating other people
  • I'm still home with Max not working
  • Tim got a new job outside of the normal shop that he is use to
  • Max is growing and ever changing from day to day
  • My sister got in engaged
  • My parents divorce was final on Thanksgiving Day
  • My Mom is probably moving to Rhode Island to be with her boyfriend
  • This is our first holiday season in the states for 7 years now

A year of change....for next year I'm hoping for a calmer more laid back kind of year. Fingers crossed it comes true.
