Reflection

Looking back, 2007 has been one jam-packed year! Since I'm a fan of lists, I shall present to you the ABC's of 2007.

A - After Eve - I love that our church is a hub for awesome events!

B - Babies - This was the year of the baby. Not our baby, but lots of friends now have babies (14 couples to be exact!)

C - Chicago - Our Chicago friend is getting closer to deciding it's time to come home!

D - Doves - our neighbor has doves. There were 6 when we moved in, now there are 4.

E - Eating - As always, the Bings ate...a lot this year. Go figure. A favorite would have to be the Chocolate Evolution dessert, or perhaps some Lancaster ham loaf...mm mm good...

F - Friends and Fun - So many friends have come to visit us this year, and that always means lots of FUN!

G - Grandpa - Got to accompany him to the 60th reunion of the 1947 Maryland Terps football team and watch college football live for the first time since 2004.

H - Homeowners - In May, we bought our first home.

I - Ice Cream - This is the year that the Maggie Moo's obsession began (also the year the American Idol ice cream debuted).

J - Jealous? - Best Wife Ever = new flat screen TV for Christmas (that makes 2 TV "Christmas" presents for the 3 Christmases we have been married...but who's counting!)

K - KPMG Friends - So thankful for the friends that stuck with me!

L - LOST - Rocks my world...yet again...with their best season yet!

M - Mountaineers - In August we officially added one more Mountaineer to the family.

N - Nine:Thirty - With the arrival of one of the Bests to DC, a Guster concert at the 9:30 Club was in order.

O - Old - Sometimes we feel old...sometimes we are reminded that we act "old".

P - Pears - In November we learned that Husband is also allergic to pears.

Q - Quit! - As in, "Quick baking cookies before I get fat!" Husband did not understand that perfecting the chocolate chip cookie would have such dire results!

R - Red - Obviously my favorite color, now emphasised by my 2 new pairs of red shoes this year!

S - Small Groups - We said "good-bye" to one and "hello" to two other this year!

T - Ten Years - In July, Husband and I celebrated our first meeting, 10 years ago in 1997.

U - Ugly - The original paint choice for our main level was not cool.

V - Virginia Tech - In April, we all were Hokies...

W - Weekend Get-Away - We discovered Hershey Hotel...and the Circular Dining Room as an amazing weekend get-away in March...and in September...

X - X-tra Time - The new job cut my commute by 2 hours per day!

Y - Yay - We had a ton of fun this year, that deserves a big, "Yay!"

Z - Zero - As in the number of Metro rides I took in 2007 =)
