2008

1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?

Got married to an amazing man!

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

Well, sorta. Last year my resolution was to quit smoking. I did that for about 5 months, then temporarily fell off the wagon (but only “occasionally”) until November when I quit when I found out I was prego. My resolution for this year is to cut back on cursing. I’m effing sucking at that so far.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

HA! All my girlfriends are always giving birth! But a shout out to Becca (and Olivia!), Carra (and Nate!), Nicole (and Will), Jamie (and Sam) & Jody (and Sophie)! Am I forgetting anyone?

4. Did anyone close to you die?

Thank god, no! I am still really sad about Bernie Mac though. (America, these kids is terrible!)

5. What countries did you visit?

None! I can list states though: Texas, Indiana & Cali. I went camping a lot J How’s that for culture?

October 4th—my wedding! And the day we found out we were pregnant.
