Goodbye 2007: you were cruel.
Some small joys and too many sorrows. Welcome 2008; I'm ready for the end of life as I know it!
As the year drew to a close I needed to escape so badly; get time away where things were quiet and I had the time and silence to think. Amiliah, Mandy, and I fled the country...to Amiliah's family's condo at the Sun Peaks Ski Resort in Canada. It was, in a simple word, lovely. Perfect. Exactly what we needed. We cooked our own meals, watched an entire season of LOST along with a few movies (I recommend Disturbia!! But only if you like scary movies), played in the snow, relaxed in the hot tub, and I finally got to catch up on my Vogue reading (I'm finally on the correct month!) AND write in my journal (my heart was like a compressed hard stone in my chest; finally it's light again).

We watched professional skiers and snowboarders do tricks on New Years' Eve...
Kiss kiss!

Isn't it gorgeous??
Returned from a day on the slopes
Amiliah taught me to snowboard!
This is actually me, no joke. On the pre-bunny hill. :)

What a beautiful weekend you had, I am so glad you got to go and rest before what is sure to be another busy year for you. I miss you and will call you soon!
Just for the record, I had a fabulous time with you in 2007! Birthday lunches @ Kember and Jones, Maggianos, and Nordstrom's Cafe. Scottish adventures with Kellie! Massage day! Dinner and a Movie every Monday night! Parties: Birthday, Retirement, Christmas, Baby Shower. Lunches at the Metropolitan Market. And summer Mojitos!
And I can't wait for what 2008 will bring us!
Nicole - can't wait to talk to you!
Sarah - you are SO right. Lots of good times with you this year. And more to come I'm sure! Coming soon, a list of my favorite moments of 2007.
My dear e -
Why so many sorrows in '07? I must've missed those - I suppose you don't post those on here eh? Here's to a better '08. Lovage.
