Life can change so much in 9 months. (Not in any particular order) I got married, lost 75 pounds, at my day job I got a raise + monthly bonus + extra week of vacation a year, bought a house, and grew my small business.

Hard work and determination paid off. The real hard part is coming the next 4 years I feel. Will I have a job in the next 6 months? Will I lose my house? Will my disabled Veteran husband lose his health benefits? Will I be able to afford to keep my small business going? Who knows. The political climate is not reassuring.
