2011, One Word at a Time
December 31, 2011
Let’s sum up each month of 2011 with a single word, plus the corresponding post.
January: Smiling
February: Bridesmaid
March: Emotion
April: Audit
May: Mothers
June: Mailbox
July: Limbo
August: Satisficing
September: Zen
October: Kiln
November: Yaaaaaay!
December: Transition
Why no link for December? Because I’m telling you about it right now.
Fittingly, December’s events bring me full circle to the encounter with Lori that started the year. In January, her family came to my region of the country. In December, I visited her house as part of a reconnaissance trip, because… this coming January, I will become her neighbor.
I got a job! A better job than any of the four for which I’ve been the runner-up in the past year and a half! We are moving to Loriland!
I am temporarily in transition, but I am finally out of Limbo.
Uhhhh… anybody want to buy a really cool house? I’ll throw in some pottery!
Happy New Year!

Congratulations! Limbo is one of the hardest places to be and I’m so glad you’re made your way out of it. The new job sounds great as does the new neighborhood! Best wishes for a laughter filled 2012.

That sounds awesome! I went to college there for 2 years, and it was great. I hope you all love it there. Congratulations!

I think I am the most excited person in the blogosphere about this!
OK, maybe we’re tied.
Happy dance!

Congratulations! I can’t wait to read about your moving adventures. We’ll be moving across the country this summer so I need all the tips I can get for a long-distance move with twin toddlers.

Congratulations! So very excited for you… Yay for being out of the limbo land!
I guess you will be moving away from not so near to me, to not near at all! Not that we have met, but would have loved to meet you some day!
