And our star shines like a miracle

Happy new year!

Well I rang in '08 last night with a bunch of awesome people and the perfect amount of liquor (silly-drunk earlier on but sobered up by bedtime). It really was the perfect end to a year that has been quite good to me, and it hopefully set the pace for a year that will be even better. I am looking forward to a couple of vacations this year and to moving in with Bill at the end of the summer, and aside from that all I can hope is that I get to spend as much time as possible with the people who make me laugh until I [insert embarrassing noise here].

Here are my top five highlights of 2007:

5. Getting Promoted - I was afraid it would never happen, but I did in fact get a promotion, and I'm much happier now than I was in my old position. Now I can look forward to my next new job, which will hopefully be post-graduation in May.

4. Feist Concert - I had a blast at this show, that's really all there is to it.

3. The Birthday Party - My mom: "Your birthday party?" Me: "No, mom, THE birthday party." I got momentously tipsy, got cake smashed all over me, and danced till I was literally red in the face. It was quite a celebration for my two favorite Fucking Birthday Twins of all time.

2. Nickel Creek Concert - I had waited forever to see Nickel Creek live, and I finally got my chance this summer at their Farewell for Now Tour (basically the See Us Now Or Live With The Regret Forever tour). I had second-row seats (OMG!!1!) and somehow, miraculously, it didn't thunderstorm on us despite the bajillion degree weather with like 100% humidity. It was quite the evening, and the first thing I have ever gotten to cross off my "to do before I die" list. Yay!

1. San Diego Trip - San Diego was a great place to visit. We managed to squeeze in SO many activities and restaurants, and the weather was amazing. I was stoked to get to spend so many days hanging out with Bill, and I felt like we were super grown-up flying across the country by ourselves and renting our own car and whatnot. Not to mention flying out on the cheap thanks to Skybus. The whole thing was just absolutely perfect, I don't even know what to say.

So there's my list. There were a million other great moments of course, and I'm thankful for all of them. I honestly have NO idea what 2008 has in store for me or where I will be a year from now. I hope that I'm happy, and I hope that you are too. Thanks for hangin' with me.
