Inspired by Charlie's impressive list of memories for 2007, I'm going to do my own brand of reflections on the year. Here are my three favorite things about 2007:
1) Meeting Charlie. It really is crazy how meeting one person can change your life. Looking back, it's hard for me to remember how I spent my weekends before we met. Charlie so quickly became such an important and wonderful part of my life that it seems like I have known him much longer than I actually have. One day when I am much older and write a list of my best and most significant life-events, I know "meeting Charlie" will still be #1 on my list. :)
2) Buying an apartment (OK, I actually moved on 12/29/06, but I am counting it for 2007). Buying my apartment, painting it, furnishing it and living in a place that I own has been a really great experience for me. It gave me a sense of accomplishment to go through the buying process on my own, and to turn this apartment from someone else's home into my own. Hopefully my 2008 list will include selling it at a huge profit! Haha
3) The holidays. Getting to share the holidays with someone I love and care about has made this time of year a whole new experience for me. I always looked forward to Christmas but getting to share these holidays with Charlie and with my family made me realize how special this time of year truly is. And knowing I would share this time together with Charlie made preparing for it more fun than I have had in many years!
