In 2013 I:

• started off the year at my lowest point. 
• needed a distraction so I fostered a sick Beagle.
• nursed and then adopted the Beagle!
• went to Chicago and saw Pearl Jam at the legendary Wrigley Field show, which didn't let out till 2am after a 3-hour rain delay.
• was in two fairly major car accidents. 
• saw Pearl Jam--at Eddie Vedder's feet--in Pittsburgh, the first stop on their tour.
• followed Pearl Jam to Ontario, Phildalphia, Baltimore, Dallas and Phoenix.
• held Eddie Vedder's hand when he leaned out into the crowd in Phoenix.
• saw my beloved uncle for the first time in too many years. 
• quit my job of more than 10 years.
• started a new career in the corporate world. 

But most importantly..

• fell in love with a man who made me immediately realize that I had never truly been loved before. 
• got to be a part of his life, which includes the sweetest mornings in his arms and the most exciting nights, watching his band on stage.

What a year! But things aren't done changing in my life. 

I'm ready.
