No & Yes
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Yes - Ruthie had the peanut & one of the breakfast gals had a beautiful baby girl.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Yes the first pet I have ever really loved. Jake - my jack russell terrier. I had no idea what loving a dog was before we got Jake. I'm sure it sounds silly to most- it would've to me once upon a time. I loved how he followed me around like my shadow. I loved how he loved me so much and so unconditionally. I loved how if I was sick or sad he knew it & stayed with me. Even though he was a really difficult dog for many reasons... I really miss him.

We went to NYC in the spring- which is like a different country compared to Utah. (Oh how I love New York!)

I've had so much fun reading these questionairres I may have to do one myself. I loved Dan in Real Life too. It was so good.
This was so fun to read. I think you, and I have quite a bit in common. You are younger...I was 41 in Feb! Oh wow! That means I will be 42 next month! Yikes! :)
you have had quite a year, my friend!! can't wait to keep up with you in 2008!
i love that you posted your list of *things i want to do in 2008* (i keep mine in my journal at home.) will you check things off as you get them done? (i love to do that!)
Your year at a glance looks like such a good one. It's kind of great how blogging gives you a way to record these thoughts and share them with others, and it's an added bonus that you can do this again next year and compare notes to yourself. I still need to do this post.
This was fun to read and learn more about you. We feel the same way about many things! :) I may try to do this review too, it's a great way to document the past year--since they always seem to fly past. Blogging has made a positive impact (well, gotta balance the time thing better, but...) on my life too.
patsy i loved your list! i'm glad i didn't read it though until i'd done mine. we do have some similarities, what a shocker! i'm so excited to make this list again for 2008. it's going to be a great year i can feel it!
