Happy New Years

Superficially my new years started off great due to a fantastic Tennessee win in the outback bowl! GO VOLS! Overall, 2007 was a great year with many new changes for Jimmy and me. I look back and can't believe that just a year ago I was starting my last semester of graduate school and had no clue where I would be. Just one year later, I sit in Shawnee, KS in our first home, with our new puppy, and both of us with new jobs. 2007 was chalk full of changes...most of which were great, but obviously change comes with hard times as well. I feel as if I have adjusted to kansas city better than I thought, even though I still have many days in which I wonder what I was thinking leaving my comfortable life in Knoxville. But, in the long run, I think we made the best decision. Last night was a highlight for me as we spent new years with some of our new friends and it was so refreshing and so much fun. We had an absolute blast! I love meeting new people and I hope that we will continue to do so. Overall, 2007 was a great transition year for us...Hopefully we will feel a little more settled in 2008.
