Tribute to 2007

I felt the need to give some attention to the year that is coming to a close so I took this from Krista.

1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before? Hm? Watched my husband get his MBA and spent nearly 10 months of the year breastfeeding.
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Well, looking back at my blog, I didn't stick to all of them for the full year, but made a good effort when I could. I did really good at my non-resolutions, though. Stay tuned for this coming year's resolutions - one will be to go on a trip alone with my hubby.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? There were a few ladies in my department that had babies. Other than that it wasn't a big year for babies but there are some on the way in 2008
4. Did anyone close to you die? I honestly don't remember attending a single wake or funeral this year.
5. What countries did you visit? Good ol' USA
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007? More time with John home
7. What dates from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Probably November 8, when Jeremiah turned one
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Managing to work full time, be a mom, a wife and a student simultaneously
9. What was your biggest failure? Not always slowing down enough to enjoy the little things
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? just a few rounds with flu and food poisoning
11. What was the best thing you bought? new car
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? My hubby's - for keeping his promise of getting his Master's degree
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Appalled and depressed are pretty strong words. I don't think I was that mad at anyone
14. Where did most of your money go? diapers and gas
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Jeremiah's milestones and John's graduation

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? 
b) thinner or fatter? 
c) richer or poorer? Happier, I guess? Definitely thinner. I was 8 weeks postpartum at this time last year. Probably poorer but we're OK
