January: I turned 30. It was fun. That's all I remember.
February: Amit's bday (also the same as Groundhog Day)
March: ummm...
April: Barbados trip
May-August: Softball season. And...my parents were here. They got an apartment at Northpark for 3 months. It was great - I don't think I had to cook even once during those 3 months. And we took some local trips - Mendocino, Monterey, Sonoma wine tasting... Amit's mom came for a visit in August, too.
Sept-Oct: a total blur. We were both swamped at work, and while it was only a couple of months ago, I'm ashamed to say that I can't really even describe anything of significance that we did in those two months. Bahh...
Nov: Busy, busy...then we went to Ohio for Thanksgiving
Decemeber: more busy, busy, then off to Puerto Vallarta. One thing that I'm happy we did accomplish in December is some volunteer work for a family that we adopted for the Holidays. It was really rewarding to get to know them and focus on someone else. We were matched up with them through Habitat for Humanity...we're definitely planning to participate next year.
Somehow each year seems to go by faster and faster. I wish we could find a way to slow down time. I always remember that episode of The Twilight Zone where that guy gets a stop watch that can actually stop time. How amazing would that be - to be able to make the great moments in your life last longer. We have so many experiences every day, and sometimes it's the wonderful things that seem so brief.
Chethan & Srivalli hosted an 80's theme New Years party last night. It was a blast. Everyone got totally into it, and I had so much fun shopping for all that totally 80's jewellery! Amit's at the Sugar Bowl so he missed the party. I missed him there, but I know he's having a blast at the game - can't wait to see him on Thursday!
