2007 was such an emotional rollercoaster of a year. i started off the year in canada with my friend Tehra and i swore the rest of the year was gonna be kick ass because of it. i traveled a lot this year…our trips to costa rica and tahoe were awesome. i got to hang out with awesome friends both here in town and the ones that i have scattered all over the country. Nettie started school. we dealt with the stresses of listing our house on the market. but the death of my dad—-out of all the other things i did this year, him dying is the one thing that sticks out and totally defined my year. he died on my birthday. i wanted to go home to visit and it be a fun trip and instead i was home sooner than i expected to bury my father. and 5 mos later i’m still dealing with this. i probably will be for quite a while….

resolutions you ask? i’m totally NOT a fan of new years resolutions as i never stick to them. but one goal i DO have for this coming year—to freakin stick up for myself more. i dont know why i dont think that i’m worth it. that other people are more important than myself always…that if they insult me or take advantage of me that its ok because at least i’m being the bigger person. sometimes being the bigger person isn’t about keeping your mouth shut. i make myself sick sometimes with how i am with others—how i react and handle things when people are mean to me. i really REALLY want to work on that. we’ll see how i do.

anyway i hope you have a fabulous new year no matter how you celebrate. we, however, will be partying it up. OUR style:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
