January: I got married, and my last name went from 1 syllable to 4.
February: We celebrated my mom's 55th Birthday Do-Over by hiking down a giant mountain, since she was in the hospital last year and I'm thankful that she's all healthy and recovered since then.
March: I turned 28, and DH took me to see LOVE in Vegas, which has been on my wishlist since it opened a few years ago.
April: I knit a sweater for DH, just in time for the weather to shoot up into the 80's.
May: We successfully staged a crab-feed in my mom's backyard for my sister's 26th birthday (this was a big year for b-days, apparently).
June: My beloved Bulldogs won the College World Series. I cried. Bought a new car.
July: Visited Chicago for the first time, and got to see my dear friend K who moved away from CA 3 years ago.
August: Knit a sweater in 14 days. Made my DH watch copious amounts of Olympic coverage.
September: Helped plan/host my 10-year HS reunion. Yep, definitely not doing that again for the 20-year.
October: FINALLY got my wedding photos. Watched my Bulldog football team slide into a depressing losing streak.
November: Hosted Thanksgiving for the first time. Doing piles of dishes for 2 days was TOTALLY worth it to not have to leave the house!
December: Met the governor of CA. But most of all (well, not really, but pretend so for dramatic effect), I finished this freaking sweater:
Thermal, from Knitty. Ravelry deats here.
It only took 1.5 years! (Casted on in July 2007).
I freaking love it. Seriously. Probably my favorite FO to date. I have no idea why I waited so long to finish it! At least it's only January and I can still get some usage it this year.
All and all, a pretty solid year. Looking forwards to many new firsts in 2009 - we are headed to Europe, and may possibly be expanding the family (wink wink).
To ring in 2009, we are headed to a fancy-schmancy 4-course dinner tonight at a local restaurant. Nothing says 2009 like Smoked Swordfish Carpaccio and Pancetta & Radicchio Wrapped Scallops.
CHEERS to a safe and happy New Years Eve. See you all in 2009!
