Re: 2008 lows and highs
 
Lows:
Losing my dog to cancer at the beginning of the year. After over 13 years together, going through so much and him even saving my life once - it's still a tough one to bear.
Having to sell my bikes.

Highs:
Having some of my friends put together the funds that allowed me to go and buy a new puppy.
Successfully completeing my first year at Uni, as well as getting on their Dressage Academy.
Being given a wonky, hatrack-rib-showing lump of a horse and seeing him come soooo good over the past 6 months - resulting in our first show-jumping rosette.

Highs:
1. Being Best Man at a long-standing friend's wedding. People even laughed during my speech :takeabow:
2. New car
3. My kids are nuts but very happy. Must be doing something right:rolleyes:

Lows:
1. Teejay RIP
2. Not having ridden my bike since early July :(
3. Work has been somewhat less than enjoyable lately
4. Best friend has had a totally **** year and I've been worried about her for months :(

However, overall, 2008 has been okay (except for Teejay).
