This year has been incredible in many ways and it has also been full of challenges and surprises.
I have been very blessed with health and the love and support of many people who have also lived to see another year. I have grown much closer to God, which I can say with all honesty is the best feeling in the world. I am officially engaged to the love of my life. My cousin and his family have finally moved to the US and the prospects of reunification with the rest of the family that I have left in Cuba are very encouraging.
My first semester as a philosophy major was also my hardest. I had never in my life studied so much or dedicated so much time to school. I had almost no free weekends, practically lived at the library and had so many all-nighters that I can't even remember how many they were. However, it was my most rewarding semester at FIU and for that I am grateful.
I changed my hair color to what, apparently, suits me best. I was constant and determined in my diet, which along with the support from my fiance, led me to success.
I was more adventurous, took more risks, had more fun, lived bigger and louder...
Finally, I grew closer to some people who have become very important in my life and, for one reason or another, grew apart from others that I still love very much. The latter situation I highly regret and hope to fix in 2012.
Well, what else can I say? I just can't wait for 2012: my wedding, graduation, family reunification, my 6th birthday (yes, there will be February 29th)... I know it is going to be my best year yet. :)
Happy New Year!!!
