This is the first time I've done something like this, but I've been feeling really positive about what 2009 will bring, so I want to do a recap of 2008. Like any year, poo happened, but also like any other year, brilliant things full of awesome happened...and sometimes we get so caught up in the poo that we forget about all that awesome stuff. So, I want to celebrate 2008 before I head off into 2009.
