Happy New Year!

Yet another year has flown by. You’re always told they years go by faster as you get older but you never really believe it until it starts happening. And it’s happening!

Here’s a recap of 2007:

Worst:

• Mom’s emergency appendectomy and then the infection that followed a month later.
• Cancelling my CO trip due to the surgery.
• Learning my dear friend and coworker, Janet, has a brain tumor.
• Learning that one of our favorite volunteers has lung cancer.

Best:

• Sending my parents to Las Vegas after hearing them talk about it for years and never doing it. They got to see Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and Zion.
• My brother’s visit.
• Lots of weekend trips – NYC, CT, and the Adirondacks.
• Buying my 100-400 L IS and, most recently, the 580EX II flash.
• Sold my largest framed image at a show in CT.
• Sold two images to a textbook company for a middle school math book in NC. 100,000 copies. Yay!!

And some resolutions to start off 2008…not that I’ll actually keep them:

• No more junk food (i.e. diet)
• Try to write on my blog at least once a week (rather than once every six months ) And maybe start doing Sunday Scribblings.
• Begin a journal today and continue it until it’s full and I can begin a second. (My first Moleskine!)
• Better organize my tax records throughout the year rather than at the last minute.
• Write/Type letters that I owe people and snail mail them…because “real mail” is more fun to receive.

Ahhh, finishing one resolution just under the wire.
