Great recap, Lara. It sounds like you had quite a few momentous events in 2007. Here's hoping for a great 2008!
I love that you have time to blog while you're at your parents. It is nice to have some updates. Loved the pictures, too.
Good list--it was an eventful year for you. I love these recaps with all of the pictures, which incidentally is the thing that's keeping me from doing one. I have a terrible time with posting photos! I hope you have a great 2008!
I am laughing out loud about Sallie Mae. She harasses me monthly too. Dang Tulane education!
Of all the great pictures you posted- I. can't. believe. you. posted. that. one.of. my. girth. Seriously. You pick up Lulu to hide your belly (which was all tiny by the way) and don't warn me that I might want to hide behind something (or several somethings as it were).
Love you!
I know, Sallie Mae, Fannie Mac, whoever, on my last nerve!
I'm so glad you did this post, it was so fun to read. It's also great to see pictures of you! You're so cute and hardly ever appear on your own blog.
I think you had an exciting and eventful year, you are the travel queen!
What a year you've had Miss Lara! I want to travel like you:) Perhaps we should start with getting that spring trip scheduled!!!
Are you sure I am not responsible for keeping you crazy? Just a little bit?
