New Year

I get reflective twice a year- at the new year and at my birthday. It’s a good time to think about where I was, how far I’ve come, and where I’m going.
For me, highlights of 2012 include:
• Falling in love;

• Celebrating a whole handful of years as Johan’s mom and starting to think about and prepare for Kindergarten;

• Restarting regular yoga practice;

• Paying off some debt;

• Doing a cleanse, going (mostly) caffeine and gluten free;

• Losing 20 lbs;

• Significant home improvements to prepare to sell my house;

• Reentering the world of international travel via an epic trip to Africa;



There is also a whole slew of things I’m excited for in 2013…


• Putting my house on the market, looking for and probably moving to a new place with Andrew, Johan, and Gonzo.

• A trip to Miami with Andrew and my law partners at the end of January;

• Doing another cleanse in February;

• Losing another 20 lbs;

• Traveling to Amsterdam and Budapest with Andrew, Johan, and my mom in April-May for Moira’s wedding;

• Wedding festivities for my wife including a bachelorette soiree in New Orleans, a wedding at Camp St. Croix, and a Johan wearing a turquoise bow tie.

Of course, one of the best parts about being reflective is acknowledging how the previous year brought me so many wonderful places that I never expected. Hoping this year brings more unexpected adventures for me and for you, dear reader.
