1. Where did you begin 2017?

2. What was your status by Valentines Day?
Still dating/living with Toby.
3. Were you in school anytime this year?
Nope.
4. Did you have to go to the hospital?
No.
5. Did you have any encounters with the police?
I was in a car accident (my fault) and the police came and were very nice.

Vancouver, BC (a few times, visiting Em)
Virginia, 4 times (family)

Eugene (bridge)
Charlotte (bridge)
New York/Falcon Ridge
Edinburgh
Alaska (family cruise)
Victoria BC (also part of the cruise)

7. What did you purchase that was over $100?
Wedding band, new coat, used car, a bunch of Ikea furniture, and lots of plane tickets
8. Did you know anybody who got married?
I did! And also Andrea and Jim
9. Did you know anybody who passed away?
Yes. I was going through my FB friends list to create a new filter just tonight and I was really sad because like 50 of the people on my f-list are dead. I guess that happens when you play bridge and hang around with old folks, but a lot of them weren't old :(
10. Did you move anywhere?
Nope.
11. What sporting events did you attend?
UVA-VT Football game, lots of Blazer games
12. What concerts/shows did you go to?
Almost certainly an incomplete list of shows, but: Swan Lake, Cirque du Soleil LOVE, LOTS of stuff at Edinburgh Fringe, Hanson, Hayes Carll, Tracy Grammer, Falcon Ridge (I know this isn't everything but I'm drawing a huge blank)
13. Describe your birthday.
April 27th. I told Toby I wanted us to dress up and go out but that he could pick where. We went to a vegan restaurant that I would never have picked but actually quite enjoyed. I think we went for ice cream after, then to the Barrel Room for dueling pianos where we met up with Auburn and Jared and I got really drunk and made out with Auburn because Jon texted me and told me I should.
14. What is the ONE thing you thought you would not do, but did, in 2017?
See the year end with president Dump still in office.
15. What have been your favorite moments?
Really loved meeting my nephew Trevor and all the moments I got to spend with him, all my travels, winning a bridge KO with Toby, going to Scotland and meeting Toby's whole family, all the Shantythings, Toby proposing, getting married.
16. Any new additions to your family?
Trevor was born Dec 18 2016, but I got to meet him in January. Then I met all the Craigs in August and officially became family with them in December. Hugo and Gemma had baby Zara in September, but I haven't gotten to meet her yet! Friends Chris & Bethany had Teddy in April.
And DJ Beef! Brought him home September 13th :)
17. What was your best month?
This one. Guatemala and getting married. Win.
18. Who has been your best drinking buddy?
Auburn
19. Made new friends?
A few, yes!
20. Favorite nights out?
All our game nights with friends. Not exactly "out," but they're my favorites.
21. Other than home, where did you spend most of your time?
Josh & Mary's house.
22. Have you lost any friends this year?
Yes. One death, and I finally decided it was time for people to take a stand against McKenzie for what he did to me. Those who refused are not my friends anymore.
23. Change your hairstyle?
I've been letting it grow, so it's down past my shoulders a little now, and I added teal to my dye regimen, so instead of all purple, I'm purple on top and teal on the bottom.
24. Have any car accidents?
Yes, one minor one that was totally my fault and totaled Little Boy Blue. I miss that car.
25. How old did you turn this year?
34. Been telling people I'm 35 all year though, because I always round up and also because I kinda forget unless I do the math.
26. Do you have a New Year's resolution?
I want to save enough to buy a new house without selling the one I own already, and I really want to get my weight to a point where I don't hate myself.
27. Do anything embarrassing?
All the time.
28. Buy anything from eBay?
I don't believe so.
29. Get married or divorced?
Married 12/27/17
30. Get hit on?
A bit.
31. Been snowboarding?
Negative.
32. Did you get sick this year?
Yeah, started the year with a staph infection on my face. A few colds and sore throats, but nothing major. The staph was the shittiest, but it went away quickly.
33. Are you happy to see 2017 go?
Yeah, for sure. Personally, it was a decent year, but in the big picture, it was a dumpster fire and I really believe 2018 will be better. Either that or we'll all die.
34. Been naughty or nice?
Yes.
35. What are you looking forward to most in 2018?
Hopefully buying a new home and becoming neighbors with our best friends.
Kitty snuggles.
Shantythings.
Another visit or two to Scotland.
Hosting my MIL in Portland.
Blazers basketball (always)
Trevor's first steps, learning to talk, etc.
Yellowstone with Emily.
Bridge.
Midterm elections.
