    Just interested in the best and worst things that have happened to you guys this year.

    Best: Got married to a beautiful amazing woman
    Best: Passed the lengthy selection process to become a US Diplomat

    Worst: Got deeper in debt trying to salvage failed business ventures

    All in all I this was a great year. I guess as long as myself and my loved ones are healthy, they are all great years.

    Whoa, you were selected into the US Foreign Service?! That's awesome! :grin: I'm going to PM you later to ask a few questions if that's cool...it's something I've been really interested in for a while now.

    Your PM seems to be disabled. I don't want to derail this thread - do you mind emailing me through the board at some point?

    Best: Home flooded because a pipe burst, but we basically ended up with a brand new house because of insurance after I pitched in a few dollars.
    Best: Moved to a new church.
    Best: Got a new job making more money working from my home and I'm in charge of the company. I just didn't fit my former employer and was glad to say goodbye. Made them a ton of money.
    Best & Worst: Got an expensive new car for my wife.

    I realize 2010 (and 2009 for that matter) were very bad years for a lot of people, but we are very thankful our circumstances improved considerably.

    As if anyone really cares...

    Best: Work - Had my best year, and considering our largest competitor just had a devastating article written on them on the front page of the WSJ, I already know 2011 should be a banner year.

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704694004576019344291967866.html

    Worst: Finally, and begrudgingly had to let some friends go. I'm getting older and I enjoy folks my own age moreso than the younger set. (cue whatever old joke you'd like...)
