Another Year Gone

This is pretty much the obligatory "last post of the year" post.

I don't have much to say. Kc and I are headed to a steak dinner here shortly and then back home for a movie and popcorn. We are celebrating all alone this year and it'll be nice. I've never spent a New Years Eve with just one person before, but I'm thinking that spending it with my wonderful husband is a fairly great plan.

It's hard to believe another year has come and gone. 2009. Doesn't that just look odd? And different? I've never been one to embrace the new and unknown. And yet, I made it through this year ... and am o-k about the future.

Because it's the New Years thing to do ... here's a quick summary/recap and some highlights of our past year:
