I think it would be safe to say that I forgot about my precious little blog for awhile. Well, not forgot really, more like not having much to say that I thought anyone would care about. But, seeing how it's a new year and all, I figured...why not get back to it and alert the world as to my whereabouts in life. Here it is, a reflection on the 2007 that was...
- I officially completed a full year of full time work. After graduating in December 2006, I was hired back in Coeur d'Alene, where I have been since leaving good ol M-town. During my year of employment, I have experienced 2 raises, a promotion, and my first Christmas Bonus. Yay Me!
- 15 pounds down and hopefully a few more to go. Upon my return to my hometown, I decided to shed the weight that college had put on. I joined a gym, purchased some decent running shoes and overcame my fear of exercising in front of Mr. 0% body fat. With much success, I am now only a few pounds above what I weighed in high school. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself.
- I'm in love. Not to sound like a cheesy romantic movie or anything, but I have absolutely found the love of my life. He gets me...every crazy bit of me. There's really nothing that can beat that. I am very optimistic that this may be the end of dating for me. :)
- Sadly, I lost three very fuzzy friends of mine. First, my pup's daddy, Raleigh. His brother Rascal is now taking excellent care of her. Second, and very unexpectedly, my sheltie, Macie. Lastly, after 18 years of an incredible puppy life, we had to put Nemo down. For a 100 pound dog at her prime, 18 years is pretty much a miracle for her to live through. We miss them dearly, but remember them often.
- I have a sister-in-law! Believe it or not, the first Clark child is now married and I can officially call his wife my sister! Their July wedding was the most amazing time that I've had with the Grizwolds and an evening that I'll never forget. Congrats to my big brother for finally tying the knot. Other weddings of note: Steph and Tom, Joe and Kelsey...both beautiful brides and handsome hubbies.
- Auntie Chelle strikes again...My best friend popped out her first child in February. A beautiful, healthy boy that has just grown like the dickens. It's fun to watch Shannon turn into a mom and learn all the tricks before I have to go through it all. It's also fun to give him lots of sugar and turn him loose.
- Successfully partied with Mama and Papa Grizwold. After 23 years, my parents finally decided that spending New Years Eve with their kids just might be worth it. An evening of beer pong, champagne, and bonfire confessions made every bad minute of 2007 worth it.
There is plenty more from the 7th year of the new millennium, most of which I can't remember or don't want to say...but I think that pretty much sums it up. There are many things I have planned for 2008, among which are the following (in no particular order):
- Continue to stay in shape
- Redecorate my living room and bedroom
- Pay off credit cards
- Buy a new car (only if #3 is a success)
- Fly to California to meet my Italian Roomies
- Get a promotion or new job
- Teach my dog to walk on a leash (eek!)
- Develop better relationship with my Grandparents
- Read a book or two (I would say more, but this needs to be realistic)
- Make cakes for all major holidays and birthdays (not counting New Years. oops)
So there you have it, kids. My thoughts in a nutshell. That is all.
