To Do in 2008

Let's see...

Train for, and complete the Danskin Triathalon (eep!) with A, thereby getting into the best shape of my life to date. It's gonna be a long haul...

Get our debt under control (*sigh*)

Finish our Thank-You's

Grow an herb garden

Learn something crafty, and STICK WITH IT (complete a project)

Change my name on all my credit cards, bank accounts, etc.

Make some new friends, & spend time with them!

2007 wasn't the worst year on record:

E&I tied the knot & had a great honeymoon

E&I each lost a ton of weight, and (at least) began the uphill battle of the bulge

E has landed in the job of his life, and is one happy man-monkey

I actually completed one full year of employment with the same company!

L.E. was born, and has officially won the role of W-family Golden Child (sorry, Uncle E!)

Despite worries and frets, A found herself employed mostly-full-time all year!

A&H landed themselves a phat crib

Mom & J joined us for ye olde Christmas week (it has it's ups and downs... THANKS AGAIN, A&H!)

Dad & S have sold their house & will be moving South. (Why is this on the good-news list, you ask? Because it's ONE LESS reason for us to ever have to travel to UNY again! And who wouldn't rather spend a week in FL than in UNY, if you have to visit family on your only vacation per year?!)

I'm sure I'm missing a number of other good things that happened this year, but the point is that (for E&I, anyway), 2008 has some fair-sized shoes to fill. There will definitely be some surprises -- both good and bad, but one way or another, by the time it's over:

the Bush circus will be horrible history

I will definitely be in better physical shape than I am as I sit here today (digesting my duck breakfast-burger & two eggs, over easy w/ toast -- thanks, E!)

we'll be another year closer to our house & dog

...and E&I will have celebrated our very first, wonderful year of marriage!

2008, here we come.
