2007 ... finally feeling better. The new apartment is great. I like living in the boonies. I like that there's no hassle, we're a straight shot from the east, easy to get to from everywhere, and we're no more than a half hour from anywhere we want to be ... well except to see Tim's family, but at least we're a solid half hour or 45 minutes closer to them. I like our bigger apartment and that our parents and friends like it, too. I don't even mind that I get up at 630 (give or take) everyday. We are here, and we're settling in, and I love it.

We have nice, friendly neighbors who give us hot tips on x-country ski spots. People hold the doors open. There are hardly any lights and even when there's traffic it doesn't feel like it. And, gosh darnit, we've got the littlest "big K" you'll ever see!

Surprising as it may seem, I constantly forget how important it is to have a good cry, a really good one.

I hate waiting ... does that make me impatient?

I'm very excited for our move to the boonies ... to a bonafide 2 bedroom apartment with 4 - 6 outlets in each room, all 3 pronged. Seems so simple, yet I am so excited to get there, to start the next phase, get everything set up, rehang our photos, hang the prints we never put up because we were never really happy with our current place.

The "next phase" ... it should be good. god, I hope it is. I need a good year, we all do. So many changes for others, too, friends moving away, friends that have moved will be feeling settled ... and what lies ahead for 2007 and this next phase? Only good things I hope!
