Almost 2008, baby!

Stole this from one of the blogs I stalk. Thought it was a good summary of the year without some of those annoying questions that are usually there.

1) Where did you begin 2007?
In my house with my roommate and a delicious ice cream sundae... sad, huh?

2) What was your status by Valentine’s Day?
Blissfully taken and moving (fairly) quickly ;)

3) Were you in school (anytime this year)?
Does Sunday School count? Then, uh, no. But I've been researching some Master's Programs that I'm hoping to start in the Fall.

4) How did you earn your money?
Playing with and planning for my kiddos. Not bad. Not bad.

5) Did you have to go to the hospital?
Nope. Thankfully. But I did visit one of my kids who had heart surgery.

6) Did you have any encounters with the police?
The closest I got to any police was when my plane taxied to the back-40 and was met by 12 cars and the FBI. Does that count?

7) Where did you travel this year?
Um, yes. A bit-- Portland, St Louis, Springfield (MO), Orlando, New York, Greece (Athens & Corinth), Israel (Joppa, Tel Aviv, Tiberias, Jerusalem, etc), and Sacramento.

8) What did you purchase that was over $1,000?
My trip to Israel & Greece.

9) Did you know anybody who got married?
Uh, lots. 'Tis the season.

10) Did you know anybody who passed away?
Several folks from my church family.

11) Biggest surprise?
I'd probably have to say the boy. I wasn't exactly expecting to feel this way or be with someone this long-- but I'm definitely glad it happened.

12) Did you move anywhere?
For the first time in years, no.

13) What concerts/shows did you go to?
I went to a few concerts in Florida with the kiddos and another one at the Alaska State Fair, though at this point I have no idea who they were.

14) Are you registered to vote?
Yes I am!

15) Who did you want to win Dancing with the Stars?
Didn't really pay attention.

16) Where do you live now?
In a beautiful house with a horrible driveway atop a hill with a wonderful view... but, it's not mine.

17) Describe your birthday?
Spent in several airports and a few long plane rides with 18 high schoolers... then I promptly curb-checked our packed 15-passenger van and blew the tire. Ah, yes, great celebration of my 25 years :)

18) What's one thing you thought you'd never do but did in 2007?
Met a wonderful guy... online. Got in a dog sled. Went to Israel. Purchased a third red bridesmaid dress (ugh).

19) What has been your favorite moment?
Hyperventilating and everything that followed.

20) What's something you learned about yourself?
I'm a confident woman who loves her job, family & friends.

21) Any new additions to your family?
Technically, no. But I will say I absolutely LOVE the boy's pups.

22) What was your best month?
They've all been pretty wonderful :)
January, July & November top the charts though.

23) What music will you remember 2007 by?
Absolutely no clue.

24) Who has been your best drinking buddy?
Not so much into the bar scene. Though my Alaskan DCE folk certainly make the bar scene more fun! Oh, yeah, I guess the boy.

25) Favorite night out?
Century 16 + Icee + Sour Watermelons = Ideal :)

Well, I hope y'all have enjoyed celebrating our Savior's birth and will also enjoy celebrating the coming of 2008-- I'm sure it'll be much better than '07!
