Great Things in 2019

What is the best thing that has happened this year to you?  Describe when, what and where.

I've been able to start learning French with an amazing language partner. She seems to have similar outlooks on life and is putting the same energy that I am into our lessons. We talk every day since we started learning, and it doesn't matter that she's 20 years younger. I think, she could be a great new best friend. She's learning English.
