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.
