a look back

2010 was, for the most part, a great year. It started out very rocky, but progressed into something fantastic.

The end of March I was promoted(finally!) to the General Manager. It has been a long, challenging, and rewarding nine months. I had to straighten a lot of things out, teach my employees a lot, and learn to let go of some things. I have grown a lot this past year as an employee and manager, and I still have a lot to learn.

Also in March, Mike and I FINALLY moved into our own apartment. Thank god. It has been great. We got lucky and have great friends for neighbors. We BBQ and drink when it's nice out and we love it! The unfortunate part is we have a set of impossible neighbors. One has a tiny dog that poops in our part of the yard and she never cleans up after it, the other set thinks we are horrible people because we drink and a few people smoke. But we really do like it for the most part.

Mike and I were able to go to Casper and see his family in September. It was a great week and we enjoyed all of it. I met a lot of really nice people, and it is something we will have to do again. In October I had to go to New Jersey for training. I was not looking forward to it; I was dreading it. It turned out great. I met a few really great people as well as having the opportunity to make some great contacts in our corporate office.

2011 is going to be just as great, if not better!
