With the end of 2007 right around the corner, I thought I’d highlight some of my favorite parts of the last year. In pictures, of course.
We rang in the new year by celebrating my 24th birthday. The evening deserved a major thumbs-up. The girls are also making fun of my super-straight thumbs, or finger thumbs, if you will.
Midnight: the official start of 2007. We look like fools.
In May, my beautiful sorority sister (hi, Big!) got married. It was the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to.
In July, it was time for Vegas, baby! This particular picture was taken in the bathroom at the Paris casino. After we drank a yard drink and ran through the main floor speaking French.
Our first night, at the Bar at Times Square. Note the jet lag and the weirdo behind us. I love this picture and have it framed on my desk.
September 24, 2007. The best day of my life. Engaged!

Don’t think I don’t know how lucky I am. He hated having these pictures taken. He did it because I wanted to. 10 months to go!
On top of all that, I also started a great new job. I think 2007 has been my best year yet. I can’t wait to see what 2008 brings.

You know I never realized it but you got engaged on my parents’ 30th Wedding Anniversary. If that’s not a good omen. I don’t know what is!

It’s fascinating, how straight your thumbs are. And totally loving the bling picture, of course.

Remember how I think we have the same elbows (TBD)? We might have the same thumbs too. I had no idea straight thumbs were so uncommon because I too, have straight thumbs!

Lovely list. It got me thinking about the past 365 days. It was ayear that was rife with eye opening experiences. Loss, gains, love won–love lost…love renewed. Personal triumphs…arrears of faith. Smiles, frowns..tears of sadness and joy.
You got engaged in 2007, Molly and I finally learned how to engage myself. I’d say it was banner year.
A banner year indeed.
