top 10 of 2008

My friend Laura challenged her friends to do this at the onset of the new year: write down your top 10 happenings of the previous year. These can be anything but try to be specific. So think back, way back to last January, February, and March and write them down. It's guaranteed to help you see the blessings in your life and is much more fun than setting resolutions for yourself.

So, here's mine. (fashionably late)

10. Netflix
9. Traveling to Munich with my sister
8. Designing and completing The Aztec World at the Field Museum
7. The adoption of my dear cat, Lila
6. Barack Obama
5. The first spring sunrise of 2008 (it happens every year, you'll know it when you see it)
4. Improving my knitting skills (among others)
3. Fantastic concerts: Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Eef Barzelay, Rue Royale, Andrew Bird, Phosphorescent, Rogue Wave, Dr. Dog (among several others)
2. July 3 fireworks! (and the whole summer, really)
1. Building a new relationship (JZ) / Welcoming new life (nephew Noam) (these tied for first)

Excellent top ten, Sarah! I'm thinking "the annual report Sarah designed for CGLA" may be on my 2009 top ten list. :)
