best of 2007...

I love this time of year. I love looking back through the past year of blogging [or lack of. seriously, only one post in july?] and thinking about how my life has changed. I blogged less frequently this year than ever before, but I feel like it's because I had more interaction off my computer. Some adventures and lessons you just can't put into words. Some happen in such quick succession that I barely had time to process, let alone describe. It's been a year of contemplation. It's been a good year.
