In the spirit of appreciating the year that was 2007, here’s what moments I’ll remember.
My Best Friend’s Wedding
Spending a week with my friend since Junior High, Rianna, was a treat. We shopped, we talked, we got hangovers, we had a great time. Oh, and she also got married. I was touched to be her Matron of Honor.
Wandering the West
Breaking in our new-to-us truck and 4 Wheel Popup camper on a two week trek around the West is an adventure we won’t soon forget. The desolate North Rim of the Grand Canyon, ancient cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde and (our favorite) hiking in Zion National Park. In fact, we were so enchanted with Zion, that we’re making plans to go back in 2008.
The 2007 Santa Cruz Film Festival
It took a lot of time and work, but the 2007 Film Festival had sold out audiences and Messrs. David Arquette and Pee Wee Herman in attendance. As a member of the Board of Directors, I couldn’t have asked for more. Be sure to put this on your calendar for next year, May 9-17, 2008.
Home Renovations
Hubby and I have a never ending to-do list when it comes to our house. This year we replaced our living room floor and completed renovating the downstairs bedroom into our new home office (post coming soon). We’re thrilled with the results. Next on the list, upstairs floor? Grout in the upstairs bathroom? New stair railings? Stay tuned.
Biking
The biking, ah the biking. My friend. My fun. Aside from my daily commute and new blog I had a couple of memorable rides in 2007: riding in the dark (no lights) at 10 pm in Death Valley, riding up the HWY 1 Coast by myself, and riding up to Waddell Creek for Nikkie’s birthday. Here’s to even more biking in ‘08!
It’s fun to stop and appreciate the good times we enjoy, instead of getting stuck on the bad or the sad. What was most memorable for you in 2007?
