2007 - A year in review

Everyone loves to review the year that is about to pass, so in the time honored tradition - here is a review of my year, month by month:

January - After a VERY stressful December we rolled into January in style. Celebrated my final year in the 20's with great friends at Spaghetti Factory where many trips to the bathroom lasted mysteriously long for some reason! And our friend Becky worried if her husband was being persued by a younger woman who tantalized him with the wonders of being 10!

February - Shortest month of the year ended up being the busiest! We spent a weekend peeking Behind the Cellar Door. And then preparing for Mimsy to turn the BIG 60! We threw a HUGE surprise party with all her friends and collegues!


March - Very interesting month. Not only were we celebrating Rick's birthday but we were also preparing for our first Family vacation to Cabo San Lucas Mexico at the end of the month. Little did we know that I would also be released from my hellish job just in time to be able to actually relax on the beautiful sandy beachs of Cabo while sipping a Margarita and NOT thinking about having to return to the terrible place I called work.

April - After our super fun trip to Mexico in the begining, the rest of April fell short with the only memoriable thing being the ever fun job search.

May - May found me working for a new company and us trying to recoop financially from me being off work for almost a month. All in all an rather uneventful month!

June - Aw, romance and wedding anniversary. We spent our 7 year anniversary camping and having a great time.

July - We celebrated our countries Independence in style - kickin' back "where da Vodka" drinks and lounging by the pool. Much to Miss Amelia's dismay!

August - As the summer came to an end we decided to wave it off with the Brown's camping in Terra's childhood camping area Bear River Resort/Ravin

September - One of the few uneventful months in 2007. Nothing happened and we made it to October!

October - Another big month. In the begining of the month my father passed away and left me to deal with unaddressed feelings. Rick and I had a much needed weekend in our favorite area Amador for their Big Crush weekend where we had amazing food and fun. October also brought Rick's dreams into reality with the launch of his first class at Natoma Station that helped him segway into other schools for the Spring sessions.

November - With Rick's classes going strong and schools signing up left and right we started into the Holiday Season with little stress. The one blip on our radar was the decision to move in January to a new and improved house (more on that later). We spent early Thanksgiving morn - helping Turkey's Trot and then enjoyed a yummy dinner at my Aunts. Then we spent the day after wine tasting and spending quality time with Jeffrey (Rick's brother).

December - As previously posted we went into Christmas more prepared than I've ever been for anything and ended up having a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable Christmas Eve Open House, and Christmas Day dinner, with our favorite and our best family members and friends there to share the time with us.

Now that we're on the last day of the year I look for 2008 to be more spectacular and fun. Rick's business is picking up a synergy that I know will only spread. We're moving into a home that we love. And hopefully it will be a year of peace and tranquility to everyone!
