2007 was busy with completing my dissertation, graduating, planning a wedding, completing my internship, getting married, and moving into our 1st house together.
2008 was filled with my first year of work post-internship, Paul getting a job offer outside of AZ, the two of us deciding to move to San Francisco, apartment hunting, packing up our house, moving to CA, finding a new job for me, and living away from my family and friends in Arizona for the first time in my life.
I have no regrets from either of these years, and I know that 2009 will hold as much excitement in it as well. However, I am happy that it is not planned to include any of the excitement of the last two years!
What do I hope 2009 will include?
- A trip to Japan
- A trip to Guatamala
- Weekend trips to fun California destinations
- Continued trips home to Arizona to visit family and friends
- Making use of my gym membership regularly
- Continuing to have fun baking
- Developing more friendships in SF
- Reading some good books
- Being better about calling people to stay in touch
- Checking out more neighborhoods in the city
- Taking pictures
- More friends' weddings and babies being born
- More visits from friends
- Trips to LA to visit all of our family and friends that live there
- And being better about documenting the year
