expect the unexpected
Life is all about the unexpected and knowing that you just think you have your own plans in life but all the while God has the strings and is making the moves.
I've had a few moments in my short 28 years that have been life changing and I have to say that the year 2008 was full of them.
January 8, 2008 my alcoholic ex was finally out of my life.
January 14, 2008 my Papa passed away and I learned to spend more time and energy with my family and the people in life who truly cared for me.
March 17, 2008 I received a message back from this guy named Allen and from that moment on I knew he was special.
April 4, 2008 Allen took me on our very first date where we listened together for the first time to the song we would dance to at our wedding.
May 9, 2008 after dating for a little while Allen finally asked me to be his girlfriend.
August 25, 2008 was the day I finally moved to Austin to live with Allen in a one bedroom apartment he had picked out for us and the rest, as they say, is history.
I feel like 2008 was such a turning point in my life and is the sole reason I am where I am in life today. I made quite a few big, life changing decisions and I feel like I grew so much in that year. I wouldn't be married to my best friend now if it hadn't been for the events of 2008 and I still sometimes can't get over it.

Wow, what an amazing year to look back on. Thanks so much for sharing. I believe mine would truly have to be 2011.
It's truly amazing how much one year can change your life! You learned so much about yourself from something negative, and met the man of your dreams all in one year. So glad Allen came into your life. That is the same year a lot of things changed for me, as well. We have a lot in common!!
That was a great year for you!! I'm so happy for you that you have Allen :)
I REALLY want to join in in this one because it's perfect but I can't :( boo!
