A look back...

Okay, I guess it's time for a new post (thanks Kris). It's not that I don't have time to blog, I just have NOTHING interesting, witty or cute to say and even I get sick of reading about my children. Yes, I do read my own posts sometimes. I just think that maybe sometime I'll actually be clever or funny, but it hasn't happened yet. Dang it! Back on track, in honor of the new year, I think it would be good to reflect back on our, no my highlights of 2007 (Aaron is not interested in half of my accomplishments). So, here it goes (in no particular order):

• The birth of our darling daughter Avery on August 9 (of course)
• My sister Kim gestating her own little baby (is gestating a word?)
• Ally finally learning her letters (seriously I thought we were doomed to just princesses and dancing and that she would never be interested in learning and then just all of the sudden she got it and now loves the alphabet)
• Me plucking my own eyebrows (good-bye $15 waxes. I can finally do it YEAH!!!) - Seriously, this is a huge accomplishment. I have NEVER in my life been able to pluck my own eyebrows but in a effort to save money I braved up and you know what, it's not that bad.
• Me learning to paint my own toenails (Also in a effort to save more money, but I will never say good-bye to $30 pedicures. They are just too great. It just won't be that often)
• Getting caught up on my laundry (okay, I must be honest here I really was only caught up on my laundry for one week in May, but oh was that week glorious. I should really try that again)
• I quit my job (we've all heard enough of that)
• Starting finishing our basement (Maybe I'll be able to say next year that it was finished. One can only hope)
• When we installed our own fence (I say "we" very loosely. I think I was in charge of water and supervising although all of my supervising decisions were vetoed by Aaron. My dad, brother, our neighbor Ike and mostly Aaron were the main ones working on this project) -I love my neighbors dearly, but I REALLY love my fence.
• Learning to make my mom's rolls (Although, they will never be as good as hers. I swear she is leaving something secret out of the recipe)
• And finally, just great days with my awesome family.

So, here's to 2008. Maybe I can get it together this year. (Seriously, who am I kidding. I think scatterbraininess is just part of who I am. It is never cureable. I will try though, I will try)
