Oh Eight, What Beauty In Thy Number

Time flies so quickly.

It's 4 days into 2008, and I can hardly believe everything that's happened since January 4th of last year.

I moved into my own apartment a few days after Christmas of '06.

I met Adam, my husband to be, on the 15th of January, '07.

February 28th, I was officially titled "girlfriend".

April 20th, I got engaged.

August 18th, I got married.

October 18th, we bought a house.

On the 15th of this month, I will have known Adam for a year, and on the 18th, we will have been married for 5 months.


This has been a year of unexpecteds.

Not only did I move out of my parents' house, I got married and bought a house. Straaaannnnge. :)
I didn't expect to meet, much less marry, my husband for a few years yet. I also didn't expect that we'd buy a house within three months of getting married.
I also got back in touch with some old friends that I surely didn't expect to be talking to for a long while. This makes me excited. There are a few people that I have missed terribly, and have wished at least to part on good terms with, and my expectations have been exceeded far beyond what I thought could happen. It's good to rediscover friends, especially as you grow up and mature and get over yourself.
There are other friends that I hope someday to talk to again, even just once, in the interest of leaving things at a good place, instead of either party having bitter memories of past events.
Some things haven't changed, and others have, and it's nice to come back around and leave the bad and keep the good. That's true for just about everything, I've begun to notice.


As far as this new year is concerned, here are some of my goals:

- To get healthy and in shape again. I have running shoes and a track suit, and I'm going to be getting out and running.. I want to be healthy and vigorous and energetic again.

- To write at least one song a week. I need to be polishing my craft, and growing in skill.

- To play piano more. I don't have any excuses, I've got a piano in my living room, a keyboard, a computer and some recording equipment...

- To get up and go to bed earlier, as a general rule, with a few exceptions here and there..

- To post on my blog more, as I seem to be terrible at keeping it current. :)


There are more, but I can't seem to think of any at the moment. I'm sick, and have strep throat, and so it's doubtful that I'll be able to come up with much more right now. I'll post again soon, promise. :)
