grepet

I'm adopting H-bomb's slogan..."2008...it's gonna be great!"

We had a fabulous party at our place filled with games, Wii play, food, fun...until 4am! I was SO tired the next day, only proving I am getting old!

Work has been stressful lately...alot more to do all of a sudden and more intense emotional cases. I need to figure out how to balance the current load and develop the position into what I think it COULD be...so that I am best utilized...it's darn hard trying to figure out how to a job that is new to the agency too.

Have I mentioned that I LOVE our new digs? I love the space we have to entertain...Wil and I feel so blessed to have found some cool peeps to hang with in Texas...and thanks to Heather we now have a table too! Thanks dude...we appreciate it! More "rule" Uno coming soon!

Today marks the anniverary of my dad's death. Nomer and I (plus our families) went to A&W this afternoon (my dad's favorite...he loved rootbeer, cheeseburgers and fries). It was nice to remember and toast him with a frosty mug (I even resisted dropping one in my bag for the road ;). I can't believe it's been a whole year--still missing you dad!

Gosh, I know January is just another month, but there is something to this new year thing this time around. Life has changed so much this past year and it seems that we, and many friends, had a rough 2007...but I've made it through...we all have! Life is a little different now...I am a little different now...

"Norskie's have more fun" is a magnet I have on my fridge. But I also like how some of the Norwegian language translates. So in addition to "2008 is gonna be great," and to keep this entry short and simple, I'll add just one word to sum up 2007: Grepet. It's norwegian for "emotionally moved." I could recall events in great detail, but that says what I'm feeling looking back at each hill and valley.

Happy New Year folks. Peace.
