Kind of. More like one event from each month…well, maybe two some months. Kevin can do his own if he wants. ;)

January– We started the New Year on a jet plane.  I wish I could say it was fun, but the trip still haunts me.

February– We celebrated World Nutella Day!

March– My grandpa died on the last day of February, so I flew home to Minnesota. Quite honestly, I still have not recovered. I still miss him, and generally try to bottle my emotions up. I suppose one day I’ll have to deal with it. On the other hand, I remember walking in and out of the church like it was yesterday… all the people staring. I try not to do that any more…

April– The Boy started at his new school!

May– Kevin came home from Lebanon and I presented my paper at the Planning Conference! Oh, and Bill died. Still haven’t really recovered from that either.

June–  Another big storm…a new job…and a trip to DC!

July– The Boy had surgery, and I was bit by the painting bug.

August– Busy busy busy… back to school, cloth diapering, and Bob died. Seriously…not a good year. Lots of death.

September– Went to Iowa and watched some football (not in Iowa).

October– We went to Minnesota. I attended the Senior Economist meeting and was discovered by a long lost pen pal!

November–My grandma had surgery to remove colon cancer. Yes We Can, Yes We Did! (Obama is elected President!!!) and Kevin left for Iran!

December– The Boy turned two and ends the year melting my heart. TU hosts the CUSA Championship game, but sucked it up big time!
