At this time of the year, there are lots of articles and television specials about the past year, which name the best, the the worst, or the most interesting events. This has gotten me thinking about this year from my perspective. It was quite a year, with a lot of changes. Below is one post per month, what I deem to be the biggest event of each month (or at least the most interesting post). Please check them out so you can get an appreciation for why this was the most exciting (and exhausting) year I have ever had.
We had car problems.
We climbed 680 steps to the top of Oakbrook Tower.
I broke a tooth (post includes picture!)
I recorded a podcast while running the Shamrock Shuffle 8k.
We spent Memorial Day weekend biking Lakeshore Drive, going to a chocolate festival, and visiting Milwaukee.
We had more car problems.
I had a scary wedding dream.
We moved to suburbs, after I had lived in the city for six years. It was hard to say goodbye.
We got married.
We went to Hawaii.
We adopted Jiblets Kitty Pie.
I contemplated how much cats are like children.
So what will 2007 bring? We are going to be staying in the same apartment, because I told Prince E I cannot move again until I forget the pain the last move caused. The pain still lingers, so we aren't going anywhere. I am hoping to start doing podcasts again, if only for my own benefit (and my mom who is a devoted fan). Every year since I was about seven, I have had the same New Year's resolution: Don't worry so much. I really doubt I will ever be able to keep that one, but I do hope that I will learn how to relax a little more in the upcoming year. I want to start running again, which is easier said than done. We are planning a spring trip to Washington DC. I would like to try to start saving money for a house, but I have a spending problem. Overall, though, I just hope that 2007, the year in which I shall turn 30, is a happy year for me, the Prince, and the kitties.
Thanks to Betty and Kiki, I have a few wedding photos to show off.
Here is our first dance:
Our wedding was Hawaiian themed and we had a suprise performance of Hawaiian dancers who performed several dances and then taught all the guests how to hula. I was very happy with the number of people who participated in the lesson.
This photo is the day after the wedding, when I wore my wedding dress again on the dune buggy ride.
Tomorrow we leave for Hawaii!
Yesterday I got married. And guess what? The SUN CAME OUT!
It was raining and cloudy both Thursday and Friday. It was sprinkling all morning. Then a half an hour before the wedding, the sun came out. So pretty. Everything went well, but of course there were minor glitches here and there.
(like the DJ mispronouncing our name in our introduction, even after three people helped him learn it and wrote it down phonetically for him. It isn't even that hard of a name; and the caterers only giving people a tiny sliver of our fabulous wedding cheesecake, and leaving more than half of it left over. It was fine, though, because we all had some more later on in the evening back at the Inn)
Everyone looked so pretty and I was so happy that so many friends and family couldn't make it. I got two sweet text messages from my good friend RussianLlama back in Chicago who could not make it because of the whole recent giving birth thing. But I know her and her husband (and the baby) were here in spirit.
I hope to post some pictures at some point, if anyone took any that don't have actually people in them.
