Alright, I'm always a sucker on new years eve going around and talking about the best and worst things of 2007 that
happened to you. It's always nice to
reflect and learn and take a minute to realize that all those things end up somehow becoming part of who you are as you move forward into the next year. I also always like to wish for things and make plans of what I'd like to see happen for the next year.
The BEST thing that happened to me in 2007 was nothing more than a 20 year come true for me. Those that know me well have heard the story about 1,000 times and you know what I DON'T care that you are hearing it again for the 1,001 time.
For mothers day, my hubby got me a plane ticket and 2- 2
ND row seats to see Harry Connick JR in Dallas.
My cousin Toni lives there and put me up and drove me around and went to the show with me.
Now, the show in it's self was AMAZING put what
happened afterward was the best. I felt like a crazed fan but I lingered outside the building by the tour buses after the show in hopes that Harry would indeed come out greet those that hung around.
And he did. He
walked out in a perfectly fitted black t shirt and jeans waved then walked through the gate and stood there.Yes standing in front of him feeling like a teenage girl with sweaty hand and almost no
ability to talk. He singed a CD insert I had (which is now framed) and I said I and he said HI back and thank you. He was nice and
more handsome in person than I ever could have
imagined he would be. I Will never forget it.
The Worst thing that happened in 2007 was the car accident that claimed the life of Chris's sister
Becky and our 2 year old niece.
Becky was how I meet Chris. I've always been thankful for her for that. Since she was my age and we
graduated together Class of 91, people you have known for 20 years that know almost
everything about are rare. But what breaks me up the most are the 3 other kids she left without a mom.
It's made me value my time and life here on earth because sometimes without warning it could be over.
On lighter note, looking in 2008, her
husband and since found a love again and is getting remarried and we wish him all the best.
2008---------------wishes, hopes and plans
I wish we would come up with the time and funds to take the kids to
Disney world before they get much older.
I hope that I manage my time better and work and get more things done.
I plan on have a huge yard sale and getting rid of all the outgrown kid stuff and making room in my basement for the kids an arts and crafts space.
I plan on reading more real books........not just magazines.
Wishing everyone the best 2008.
