8. Make one craft project per month.
9. Take a trip with SB.
10. Reduce magazine subscriptions to 5 or fewer.

As we start thinking and talking about this whole marriage business, I'm going to need a place to talk about what I'm thinking - not just about the wedding, whatever that'll look like, but also about the marriage/wedding issues that I still need to work through from my previous go at it. So, that's a warning, though I'll probably heavily filter most of it.

Yesterday was great. We had lots of friendos over for waffles and board games, which was fun and relaxing and such a dramatic change from last year, when we spent the day mourning the loss of little Sid with no friends to keep us warm and comforted. Have I mentioned we're settled here? Because we are, and it's great, and I'm so thankful for friendos like Sipes and [livejournal.com profile] caffree and [livejournal.com profile] dilicous for helping make that happen.

I really liked [livejournal.com profile] nevers's format for this, so:

Winter: really struggled with depression, adopted Mina, turned 28, visited [livejournal.com profile] sebethis in Philly, voted for Obama in the primary after much internal debate, went back to IL for LEEP weekend and saw lots of people I love, visits from both families

Spring: visits from Angie & Soy, trip to New York (and time with [livejournal.com profile] aise and [livejournal.com profile] weetziefae), saw the Pope!, reading Food Politics causes me to be obsessive, farmers' market love, trip to Chicago for Bamboo, staycation

Summer: 5K, Bonnaroo, crazy fast class at GW, work angst, job interview and offer, lots of baseball, apartment hunting, beautiful little garden, One Local Summer, Obama clinches the nomination, first conference presentation in Denver, moving to a beautiful new apt

Fall: much more satisfied at work, very happy in the new apt, very happy in Alexandria, making good friendos, visits from friendos and Mom, trip to SF for conferences and Bamboo, sick Mina, HOLY SHIT OBAMA WINS AND THEN I CRY FOR A MONTH, hiking, girls' weekend, crafting, apple picking, data collection, two fun Thanksgivings

Winter: depression coming 'round again, lots of changes at work, happy hours, trip to CA with SB, Jenn and Bill get engaged, ate beef (!!!), WE GET ENGAGED

Things I'd Never Done Before: got my legs waxed, ran a 5K, negotiated to make my work life better, rented a car, presented at a conference, volunteered for a political candidate

Music: Death Cab, The National, selected MGMT tracks, Cut Copy, New Order's Power Corruption & Lies
