a work in progress and a complete copy of leslie's blog looking back at her year... but what a great idea!
here's a sampling of what i've done this year...
*moved from nyc to chicago
*bought my very first house: 847 w fletcher!!!
*got TWO new jobs: in feb 07, i quit nnn after 5 years and joined gemini real estate advisors (grea) and in nov of 07, i quit grea and join tax strategies group (tsg)
*traveled for work to: texas, california (a few times!), vegas (twice!), vermont, georgia, florida (twice), oklahoma, rhode island, connecticut(a few times), maine, new hampshire, all over new york including buffalo, massachusetts (a few times), virginia, washington dc
*traveled for fun to: ca, bahamas (that was between jobs as a treat!), maine, illinois, colorado, vegas, cabo, dominican republic, indiana (phew! that's a lot of traveling!! am i forgetting anything?!)
*weddings and more weddings! heather hawley to rick mehl in chicago (unfortunately they chose to get married on a thurs and i wasn't living here yet so i couldn't go), laura schrage to chris campbell in culver, indiana (this would be the infamous wedding scott and i attended together after visiting dev and patrick in chicago), and ok maybe that was it, but it feels like there was another wedding that i went to... hmmm...i'll have to think on that some more
*baby showers! my first baby shower ever: jessica johnson (formerly thompson) at cirpriani downtown in nyc. baby anthony soon followed! and my second baby shower ever: courtney wucetich in ca for the most adorable little boy: alexander peter.
*on a sad note: my last grandparent, henry (hank) miller harper, jr passed away december 3rd.
*on a happier note, my mom had the brilliant idea to make us matching rings out of the diamonds from my grandmother's old gold watch that was really really dated and so that was her mother's day present to me even though i'm not a mother (obviously) but her idea is to pass the rings down to the girls in the family as they come along in the future.
*had a variety of visitors come and see me in nyc: sarah mac, meghan corea (who eventually moved to the city!), mom and dad, scott, kelley, higgins
*already have had a few people in chicago: mom and dad, alex, and sarah lyman will be here in a couple of days!
and then there were the variety of nights out on the town! gosh this year has flown by...i can't wait to see what 2008 brings!
