The year in review….
I lost one high school friend. Jilly’s Mom passed away too. Baby Liam was born. I graduate college and got my first professional job. Plus, I passed by licensure test with a 93! I was accepted to the U of M and Augsburg for grad school. I chose Augsburg because of its size and it fits my schedule. We celebrated our 10th anniversary. WOW! My heart was broken when Deep Throat was discovered. What a wonderful mystery it was! The kids spent a whole week with Ben’s parents. We had our first mini family vacation when we road tripped to Madison and Milwaukee. The kids loved staying the hotel and the zoo. I loved the road trip. We also found out my brother-in-law has a 4 year-old son. We got to meet him during our trip. We got to see Bob Mould in a smoke-free First Ave–still freaky! I got my dream car. Well…the runner up anyway. We went to an amazing pro-peace exhibit at St. Kate’s. And finally, I read 27 books over the course of the year. That number has really gone down, but there were some high quality books in there–Anna Karenina–Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Oh and I rocked the New Year’s Eve party last night with my awesome Chocolate Fountain!
So, now we are on to 2006. I’m not sure of my goals for 2006 yet. I know I need to renew my dedication to the whole “not smoking” thing. I’ve done well, but I’ve let myself slip way too much during the last six weeks. Hmmm…I’ll have to do some thinking.
