'09

In 2009, I will leave the job I've held for the past three and a half years, my first since graduating from college.

I will watch my roommate of the past three years and wonderful friend Melanie get married to a terrific man at the end of this month.

I will bid farewell to 25 and say hello to 26.

I will try in earnest to be a better person.

I will make mistakes and I will fail. But hopefully I'll come out a little better for it.
