Happy New Year! Well not just quite yet but wow is 2007 really over? As the new year of 2008 begins I guess its a good time to reflect on some 2007 Highlights!
1. Got Married - May 31,2007
Probably the biggest thing in 2007. Phil and I had a dream wedding in the Bahamas - small, beautiful, meaningful (not that weddings aren't) but for all the plan changing we did I wouldn't of changed a thing!
2. Got a puppy - August 2007
This has been a huge change for Phil and I both but we are enjoying him so much! I never thought Phil would let me get a dog but he finally caved and we stumbled upon Levi. He's learned a lot down here in Florida being with three other Aussies and being apart of a "pack".
3. Traveled
Phil and I traveled to the Bahamas for our wedding (both Nassau and Abaco), we came down to West Palm a few times, and also ventured to North Carolina for a few visits with friends. We didn't go to the US Open this year or make down to Florida-Georgia ... I guess we took a sports watching year off :) I hope we do some more traveling next year - maybe a big trip to Europe or else a trip out west and some visiting with my Uncle Kim at his fab house in Oregon.
4. Loss
The other three "highlights" were happy ones, but one of the saddest days happened in 2007 was the loss of an amazing horse named Dusty. Dusty lived 23 great years and many which were spent laying in the grass and being on neighborhood watch in our backyard. He was an incredible horse and I miss him everyday. My mom was able to find a very nice and much smaller horse named Breezy after Dusty's passing. I know he will never take the place of Dusty in my heart, but I see how happy he makes my mom and how nice it is for her to ride again, so that does make me happy. And he's a horse of my own heart ... he prefers cookies over carrots :) nice!
5. Started a blog
I started this blog in June after I started reading photographer blogs and enjoyed them so much. It's been a great way to share pictures and memories. It's also very theraputic!!!
I guess I'll stop at the top 5, but I can say that these past two weeks in Florida have been awesome. I love the weather, the beach, and being so close to my parents, even though it can get a little cramped under the same roof :) I'm not sure what 2008 will bring, but I'm optomistic it will bring good things. I hope one day I can live closer to my parents, I hope my mom's battle gives her a break and she miraculously is cured, and I hope for health and happiness in 2008 for my family and friends. I'm so fortunate to have such a great family and husband, I feel as if my marriage continues to grow stronger each day and I'm thankful for the relationship and friendship that Phil and I have.
Happy New Year!!!
