2007

So here I sit on December 31st, 2007 reflecting on a year that brought the highest of highs amongst many a sleepless night. A heard a quote once that has stuck with me - "Some years ask the questions and others answer." This year doesn't really fit that mold. So many prayers have been answered, but so many questions have been asked. I'd live it all over again in a heartbeat. January was full of parties - Merrill's Holiday bash with the fateful trip to R Bar for Fernet shots, then Vegas...oh Vegas. In February the love of my life asked me to marry him and I was at the top of the world. In March we had so much fun planning a classic San Francisco wedding. Then in April we found out that we had been blessed with a child. We were married on a beautiful day in May up in Napa, then I bid farewell to my twenties in June. July brought Grace Mae into our lives and a move to the East Bay. In August came Ivy Nicole and trips to Michigan and LA. The baby and I were showered with love in August and then again in September. October was a month of anticipation and belly painting. Then on November 9th we welcomed our little monkey into our lives. December was a month of ups and downs. Bonding as a family and getting to know our little boy has been wonderful, but saying goodbye to my Grama was not easy.

I'm so thankful for all that we have been blessed with this year and for the loving and supportive family and friends that were there with us along the way. Most of all, I want to thank my husband for the countless gifts that he's gives me on a daily basis...I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Cheers to 2007 - what a year!
