A little under eight hours left to go in the year, and as I look back, most of what stands out in my mind is just how incredibly busy this past year has been, for Prairie and for myself. That’s not to say it’s been a bad year — it hasn’t been at all, and in fact, overall I’d say it was quite a bit better than the year prior — but we just never seemed to stop moving. I was balancing a 12-credit load at school and two part-time jobs, Prairie was handling a number of teaching and tutoring positions at NSCC, and it seemed like any ‘free time’ we had was immediately filled with everything that we couldn’t get done otherwise.
Still, as things wrap up, life is looking pretty promising for the future. Still busy, to be sure, but busy for some very good reasons. I’m down to my final two quarters before graduating from NSCC with my Associate of Arts degree, and Prairie’s getting started with her new job at CWU Des Moines. We have rough plans to take a road trip this summer for some ‘just-us’ vacation time, and come next fall, I should have transferred into UW to go on towards getting my master’s degree.
Lots behind us, and lots coming up, but it’s all looking pretty good from here on out.
Happy New Year!
Other bits:
- Prairie’s posted her year-end thoughts as well.
- Over 2007, I posted 2,394 photos (an average of 6.5 photos per day, though it’s obvious from the calendar that I wasn’t posting anywhere near daily), and pushed my total uploaded photo count on Flickr to 11,104.
