One Year Vox Anniversary

So, a year ago today

I joined Vox. My first post was: http://indy.vox.com/library/post/ok-newbie-to-vox.html. Jenny left my first ever comment.

I confess to thinking

that I would bail in less than 30 days but here we are a year later. The past year has been a 'fun' year to say the least. With the old ex trying to scam me, the new ex taking me for everything, losing my home, bankruptcy, the reposession of both vehicles, and general loneliness and unhappyiness I'm happy to say that each day looks better. Of course when I look back at how terrible this year has been I get all emotional but I'm hoping the next 365 days bring resolution to a lot of crap.

My year hasn't been

all bad though. My relationship with my children is stronger than ever. My oldest son turned 18 and is miraculously starting to see the importance of college. My oldest daughter (16) broke up with her way to old for her boyfriend! My youngest son (17) finally got to start on the varsity squad this year at center. Then of course circle face - she is my best friend. She does more for me than I could ever do for her! She is my angel.

There is one thing

that I am certain of ... having this outlet has made the hell a little less hellish and the good times a little bit better. Thank you Vox.

Hello,

Looks like you added me to your neighborhood some time ago. I've been AWOL for a while, but I'm going to try to get back into Vox.

I'm also in Indianapolis, and I alsoo have a 17 year old son. We should have plenty to talk about!

I don't envy your being in Baltimore and being a Colts fan. I know people there are still quite bitter about the whole packing up and sneaking out in the middle of the night thing. Get over it, people!

I'm Christie, btw. Hope to get to know you better! :)

[this is good]

yayy happy voxiversary!!!! i believe you were one of my very first friends..and one of my 'sort of first' posts was a nachos post dedicated to you. but im glad we are friends:) you are the greatest <3

[this is good]

Awesome. You know, you're one of my oldest VOX peeps.

Happy One Year! *throws confetti*

Yes, I remember. I still want to eat some!

Happy One Year! Hope the next year is even better for you.

First, I have to say that Baltimore is not that bitter about it. You wish we were, but we aren't. I live here, my family is full of huge football fans and we never discuss it. I've never heard anyone from Baltimore mention it (unless specifically asked about it), but you Indy folks seem to bring it up all the time. Don't kid yourself that we sit around lamenting it. We don't.

Second, I wasn't your first comment. I was just the dumb one who went back and read your blog from the beginning. ;)

Third, I do hope the coming year is better for you, joey. Good luck!
