A Year in Reflection

As I come up on my 1-year wedding anniversary, I find myself looking back on my first year as a Whetter. It’s been quite a momentous year and one of the most exciting times of my life. Key highlights:

  • Gained an amazing husband, whom I respect, admire and cherish. I can also beat him in any debate/argument even though he was the Blue Valley State Debate Champion 3 years in a row. I think it’s his constant willingness to tell anyone of this Championship Debate years that makes my victories that much sweeter and my attraction to him that much stronger.

  • Moved-Finally out of Larryville. No more long commute for me.
    Bought a house- We may not be able to furnish every room, but I really don’t think a Christmas Tree room is that unreasonable. Just because the room is only used one month out of the year, doesn’t make it any less important to us.

  • Became an aunt for the 2nd time- I could not be more excited about having not one, but two nephews just down the street from us. Between Zach’s flag football, basketball and baseball games and Tanner crawling, pulling up on furniture and throwing up everywhere, it’s a exciting time to get to play with them and send them home. They are by far, my two favorite people under the age of 10 and I love every minute with them.

  • Bought a dog- Wrigley, ah Wrigley. Don’t be deceived by those droopy ears. She’s vicious.

  • New best friend- Finally came to the realization that that no matter what I do, I will always be a pale shade of white. SPF 30 is my best friend and I will fight it no more.

  • Started a garden- I may not being able to keep a cactus alive, but herbs are a whole other species.

Goals for 2009 (April to April)

  • Keep the herb garden alive
  • Run in my 2nd ½ marathon in under 2:20:00
  • Run away with my husband at least once

  • Upgrade the Night Rider. She’s working on her last leg
