Wow, did I abandon this thing or what?

In the spirit of New Year's resolutions and the self-betterment that comes with January, here I am again, resolving to blog on a regular basis and keep in better contact with friends and family.

A lot has happened since July 2008 and yet, so much of my life is the same. Here's the rundown:

• Still working full-time at my paper, the Pilot Point Post-Signal. The school's football team won the Class 2A Division I state championship, which made for 15 exciting weeks of football to cover!
• I went to NYC in November to see Matt run the marathon - so proud of him! He finished in about 3:35, 10 minutes faster than his Austin time. It didn't qualify him for Boston, but it was a great experience for him. We got to see a Broadway show, too! We saw Avenue Q, which was technically off-Broadway, but eh, it was still a theatrical production in Times Square - close enough for me!
• December marked my one-year anniversary at my newspaper, and one whole year with Matt, who continues to work at MIT in Boston :)
• This year, I'm a maid of honor yet again - this time for my best friend Rachel, whom I met freshmen year of college when we were randomly assigned to be roommates. God works in  mysterious ways, doesn't he? Mysteriously awesome ways!

Let's see, here are some things that happened to people in my inner circle:

• Melissa and Kent, my friends from college, moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico. Melissa is another former college roommate, and I wish she'd come back to Texas already!
• My brother is on his last semester of college at SFA State in Nacogdoches. I can't believe! He'll receive a BS in health sciences this May - woohoo!

That's a pretty good update on events in my life, I swear I'll have more posts to come :)
