Out with the old... in with the new (year)

2009 is coming to a close. This year has given me so many firsts. This year has been one of the best.

This blog has been going on for a little over a year. It was originally intended to document the planning and eventual execution of mine and Lizzie's trip to Europe. So much more has happened and it's more than I would have ever imagined. Lizzie is really the sister I never had and I just want to thank her for being an amazing friend. You're the best hetero-life-mate a girl could ever have. You're aces, pickle!

Scout and I are now in a home. We're out of the awesome apartment we were in and now equally awesome homeowners.

I fulfilled one of my lifelong dreams and went to Europe. While I didn't stuff my face with madelines, I was under the Eiffel Tower... with Scout. Well, not with Scout, but on the phone with her so she could share the moment with me. The only thing that would have made the trip perfect was with her, but I know that she will be with me in Paris when she's 18, so this was a trial run. ;)

Here's an end to a well lived year. I can't wait to see what the new year has in store. The year goes out the same way it came in: with good friends, Scout, good food, and happiness.

May your 2010 be just as excellent. Thank you all for your readership and please continue to read to share in all of mine and Lizzie's adventures!
