It's been a great new year so far. It's hard to believe that it's the beginning of a new decade. I covered a lot of firsts in the previous. Years 18 to 28 were pretty big ones. I'm excited about the next ten years and what they will hold. It feels good to be in a place where I know who I am and what I want (for the most part!).
2009 was a good year and I had some "firsts": grad school, Paris, Chicago, discovering the Farmer's Market near my house, potato digging on a farm, eating escargot, missing a flight, attending (and hosting) cupcake parties, and seeing the Blue Man Group perform. Lots of travel: MS, LA, GA, SC, NC, MD, IL, NY, and France. As I looked around my New Year's Eve buddies, I realized that I had met all of them in 2009. Also, I discovered a lot of new music in 2009 (this mostly due to having lived with Milton). Finally, I moved from my first "home" in DC to a new home.
Having given up new year's resolution-making a few years ago, I am looking forward to some upcoming, foreseeable events in 2010: completing my thesis and graduating from grad school, completing my first half marathon (March), and doing some more traveling (Hawaii, Germany, Iceland and Spain are on my radar). Since grad school will be behind me, I'm anticipating much more spare time to read the books that have collected over the past year. There is also hope to actually watch the Netflix movies I receive rather than let them collect dust for about two months before getting around to watching them.
So, here we go... I'm ready.

Diane and I need a date for your graduation - we want to come up and see the big event. Love the chimes (and you too)that you gave me for Christmas. Mark hung them in the back and they make the most melodious sounds. Whem the wind blows and its not bitter cold I'll call you so you can hear them too. It was wonderful to see you even for a short visit so please come back to my beach! XOXOXOX
