Happy New Year! What's coming up in 2009?

Wow. It's 2009 already. That means it's been 15 years since I graduated from high school, DH graduated from undergrad 10 years ago, and we'll have been married for 8 years in November (but together for 12). I'll turn 33 in August!

Numbers, numbers.

DH and I partied it up with a small group of friend for New Year's Eve, with me drinking a twee bit too much! But it's all good. This is going to be a year of great uncertainty, I think. I'm probably going to apply for another grad program - this one at the University of York. Until that would start though (not until October) I've got to find something to do with myself.

DH is still happy with his job here, and I think we're starting to settle in to a small bit of a routine, though the holidays really screwed around with whatever it was we were starting to establish. We've talked about an awful lot of travel plans (Paris in February, London in January, Spain at Easter time, etc) but nothing has been bought in the way of plane tickets or hotel reservations yet.

The weather is still crap, but maybe, just maybe, the days will begin feeling a little longer in fact rather than in theory. Obama is going to be inaugurated in a couple of weeks, and I'm curious what his administration is going to mean to the agencies I hold dear (NOAA and NASA).

I want to start exercising more and getting out and about more (even just for weekend walks). I hope that the kitties stay healthy and happy. I hope to meet more people and travel more places and do some things that I've never done before. I hope that friends back home are able to come visit us!

Most of all, I just hope for a happy and healthy year for DH and me! If you've got your health, you have it all.

2008 was way too stressful for me, so here's hoping for a better 2009!
