I was going to make my last post this year about my best moment from 2008, but why not mention 20 things PLUS the #1 that seemed to come out of nowhere and make this year so memorable? I hope next year is even more challenging and filled with more of my own creative projects. Missing from this list (that will be in next year's) is spending time with my god daughter Trinidy and family, spending time with my cousin Christina and her family, finishing my short film and other things that I will include in my future goals post for 2009.  20 Best Moments From 2008 20.
