Closing a Chapter

....or so I thought.

I was fully prepared for 2012 to be over and 2013 to be the start of a great year.
Last year sucked.  Hard.  It was the worst year I can remember having.  So bad, in fact, I can't even bring myself to do a year-in-review because it might bring on a serious pity party.

As the Mister & I rang in the new year, I felt hopeful and optimistic and so sure that things were going to finally move into a more positive direction.
Well, that didn't really happen.
On January 2nd, the Mister lost his job.

For a second year in a row, the Mister doesn't have a job at the new year.

I feel like our life is going somewhere dark and depressing.
blah.
