Two-thousand-K8

As the new year began, I heard a lot of people say how relieved they were 2008 was in the rear view mirror. Not me. I had a great 2008. I'll go as far to say I LOVED 2008. It was the Year of Kate (in my humble opinion).

Here are some of the highlights:
-- my first professional job in my field of study in the city I moved to on a whim
-- winning a radio contest and various ticket raffles and random competitions (quite lucky, I must say!)
-- joining The Morning Group (TMG) running group and taking on this new hobby
-- the Austin Marathon and the Portland Marathon
-- Central Texas adventures
-- meeting my cowboy and learning how to horseback ride
-- Stefanie and Jordan's Sunriver wedding
-- the engagements of several of my friends
-- Christmas at the new Benz house

These are just a few I could think of off the top of my head. Although I'm embracing the notion of havin' a fine '09, I've just got to thank God for a great 2008!

My 'brush' with death

I'm scarred for life thanks to Rocky's horse ... more to come.
