2005 in a Nutshell...

I look back at 2005 and am in awe in how much I accomplished in one year. I hit of milestones, experienced worlds of hurt and sorrow, loved someone and was loved in return, and achieved a childhood dream. I went from a dependent young girl to a very independent young woman. I went from learning about what I wanted to do with my future to dedicating my life to serving this great country and the people who are within it and to defend the rights we stand for. I changed into a well disciplined soldier and gave up a life that I was so accustomed to for the hardest lifestyle one person can lead and fell in love with the militaries crazy ass world. I fell in love so deeply with a man who shook me to the core and helped me have confidence in life and love. I went through many emotional struggles with my family and still am looking for answers to the questions that started it all. But most of all, 2005 was the year that I found myself. I became more comfortable in my own skin than I have ever been in my entire life. I learned alot of things the hardest way possible, came in contact with people who will forever touch my life, and went off to endure some of the hardest times I will never forget. My life will never be the same, and 2005 will definately stick out in my mind as one of the best years of my life. Hopefully 2006 will bring more and I will live and learn more than ever before.
