Happy New Year!

Posted on 09:38 by Unknown
2009!

This year always seemed so far off. 2008 was far off enough, and then when I took a semester off from school and realized I wouldn't graduate until 2009, it seemed like I would be in law school forever. (Which, really, would have been fine with me.)

But, it is indeed 2009. Time for me to start my second career and make it stick, which includes passing the bar. K will be turning two in two months, and will probably start preschool this summer. JW is making noises about career changes of his own.

It's also our college reunion year! 10 years. At our five-year reunion, everyone I talked to seemed to be in a transitional phase, about to start something new or thinking about making a change. It'll be fun to see where we all are now.

JW asked me what my resolutions were. I told him that this will be a go-with-the-flow kind of year, not a resolution year. We'll just see what happens.

Highlights of the old year:
January: Reflecting on 2007 and looking forward to 2008.
March: K turns 1 and learns how to walk!
April: I turn 30 and finish up my 2.5L year.
June: K meets his baby cousin! And I start my third and last summer associate job.
August: JW and I celebrate our 6th anniversary in Montreal, leaving K with the grandparents -- the first and so far only time I've been away from him overnight.
September: I start my last semester of law school.
October: K is a non-sexy bat for Halloween.
November: President Obaba!
December: All done with law school. (And, we made our first annual New Year's Eve beef Wellington dinner. YUM.)
