2010 has been an outstanding year. Last year about this time, I made a list of things I would like to see resolved in 2010. Several long-term items have been addressed this year, and I am thankful. Here's an overview:
- I found a church that I really like, and I don't have to lie to be a part of. I'll write a 'shout out' post about Expressions OKC later. It's been a long time since I was part of a church I am proud of.
- The IRS is off of our back at work. I wrote about this a little earlier. This has been going on for three years, and it was time for it to be concluded. And, I won. Perfect.
- I have an extra house (long story) that has been a problem since 2006. I can't sell it for enough to pay off the mortgage, I can't afford the payments, utilities, insurance, etc. And until this year, I haven't been able to rent it or figure out how to get our from under it. I finally found a way to rent it for most of the mortgage, and at least for now, the problem is contained.
- My social life was at an all time low. I needed to make some new friends, get involved with some new organizations, reach out more and reconnect with some of my life long friends I've let get too far away.
- I had a wonderful vacation in Boston. But more importantly, I think I have found a place where I could live and enjoy life without driving if my eyes get worse (they're all screwed up, and have been my whole life). Living in Oklahoma is just not feasible without a car. Not so in Boston.
