Did you get married, meet the love of your life, have a baby, or land your dream job this year? Did you shed any negative baggage, break up with a deadbeat boyfriend, or get out of debt? If so, I bet it changed your life for the better, and of course, even the more unpleasant milestones can be learning experiences.
I don't know about you, but for me, it's been a long year chock full of highs and lows, even some life-changing moments. So do tell: What was your most life-changing event in 2007?

30We moved back to New York after 4 years away. NOTHING could make me happier!

32Lets see my grandmother passed away, then 3 weeks later my sister killed herself. about 4 weeks after that my uncle dies. but i am stronger because of all that. i broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years and am taking my state test to do real estate so i can take over the family commercial real estate business. o7 was the hardest year of my life so far but it has made me a better, stronger more determined woman!! i am ready to start a new year!
33I got up the courage to apply to my dream school, FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising), got in, and moved all by myself to Los Angeles. I never thought I would be able to do so much but I just finished my first quarter with straight A's! Every day I get prouder of myself and accomplish things I never imagined. I started working out with a personal trainer and kicked a jerk to the curb. I am super excited for all the new things to come in 2008!

472007 was a good and bad year. I married the love of my life in June and we finished a too-long renovation and redecorating on our home. Plus it was my second year in a row without a relaps of my eating disorder. On the other hand my best friend growing up dad killed himslef. It was extremely difficult because he was a strong figure in my life, as they lived across the street my whole childhood. But it brought closure to a lot of issue for them and led to my friend finding the courage to deal and live with her own eatting disorder and depression.
welcome 2008..please be a good year.
481. getting over my eating disorder which i has plagued me for 4 years.
2. Loving my body and the way i look.
3. Getting over my depression and finally going out again.
4. Finally deciding to move to Hawaii in Feb.
5. Getting rid of my superficial friends and getting great new ones.
49finding out I was 5 months pregnant, having to get surgery so my baby would survive being on bed rest for 4 months praying every day my child would survive, at 8 months he was born premature but was healthy and was able to go with all the regular new borns and not into the ICU. Everything happened so fast this year but thank god everything turned out just fine I love being a first time mother to my 4month old baby boy.
