Now for the obligatory "passing of the year" nostalgia. This year's highlights:
1. The Year of the Dissertation: I wrote almost the entire thing this year. All right! 2009 WILL see a graduation (perhaps not a job, but that's another story).

2. Milestones for friends: two weddings. Peter and Candice's was a hot but amazing day.

We didn't make it to Ricki and Fritz's (though we really, really wanted to), but we were there in spirit:

3. New activities: in a strange role-reversal, Jay took up a musical instrument and I took up a sport, both having to do with rock:


4. Family: a vacation with the Caissies and some great parties with both families were definite highlights.


5. Trips with friends: Camping and Mt. Washington was my favorite part of the summer.

In November, I also went with my college friends to the Cape for a crafty weekend. I've refrained from posting these pictures, since I was making a quilt for my parents for Christmas, but now I can post them. One table, five sewing machines:

Little Rory was a great distraction from Hemming Hypnosis:

They'll probably hate me for posting them in their PJs, but here is everyone with their almost-finished projects on Sunday morning:

6. Home: where my two favorite favorites are. Favorite 1:

And my favorite favoritest of all:

Happy 2009!
