Post your top ten accomplishments and/or experiences of 2005.

**Rain Man** · 12-20-2005, 01:29 PM

As the new year grows nigh, what were the highlights of 2005 for you? You can post good experiences or good accomplishments.

For me, I would go with the following top ten (in no particular order):

1. My company had a record year, and we beat our revenue goal significantly.

2. My wife and I got to visit Yellowstone National Park, which was kind of cool. I was impressed with Old Faithful.

3. I somehow managed to make it another year without my wife realizing that I'm nothing but a big slug in a t-shirt and Nikes.

4. We got a special cat fence in our yard, so now our cats can go out any time they want, and can't leave the yard. (Truthfully, this may be the top accomplishment.)

5. I managed to use an entire tube of ChapStick, top to bottom, without losing it.

6. My company is extremely well positioned for next year, with a lot of work already under contract.

7. I won a work project that was very rewarding from a personal perspective. (Long story.)

8. My wife and I have decided to finish off our house rehab, so we're working with an architect and we're going to make it happen.

9. Another year of being happy and healthy for the whole family.

10. Nobody beat me up this year.

1) Moved back from Columbia and transferred to UMKC, to be closer to those I love.
2) Asked the greatest girl in the world to marry me and she said yes.
3) Good year at school, settled in my 3rd major, and I enjoy it immensely.

I guess my most major achievement this year is finally coming to the full and total realization that the Chiefs will, never, ever, and I mean ever win the Superbowl again.

I got a golden retreiver puppy in June... always wanted one.

Oh I also moved back to America, that was a big plus. Even if it was Utah...

I got to visit Yellowstone this year too. Its about a 5 hour drive from where I live now. I even managed to convince my Dad to come out and visit. It was a blast, though Old Faithful was about the least exciting part I thought.
