Now, two years older—and a little wiser—I'm feeling much more determined to reflect on the milestones of the past year, for they are great indeed:
- Colin got a promotion and is working his dream job at Burton; I'm working my dream job at EatingWell
- I snowboarded off a jump in the mini-park at Stowe—and landed it perfectly
- We took a trip to England; Colin met the English cousins, aunties and uncles
- Colin's sister Jill got married
- Colin and I bought our first place together, a home we absolutely adore
- My sister Hannah moved to Portland
- Au Lait lost three pounds—that's a lot for a cat
- Mama Sonia—my last living grandparent—passed away. One of the last things she said to me was, "this is part of your education." Indeed is was.
- Our parents—the Walls and the Algers—met for the first time up in Vermont; we had dinner at Trattoria Delia
- Colin and I got engaged; he proposed under a tree at the Christmas tree farm
- My sister Emma gave birth to a beautiful baby girl; I became an auntie
This year, we're celebrating New Year's in our new home. And we are ready to celebrate with gratitude and anticipation for the year ahead.

It's always a good thing to write a 'blessing list', and I enjoyed reading this one, but wondered why it was written in that order?! Au Lait's weight reduction is certainly an accomplishment to be celebrated, but it topped not only the glorious engagement, but the birth of your first niece! x
It's in chronological order!
