What countries did you visit? Just the USA...lots of it on long drives...
What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007? Money

What did you get really, really, really excited about? Spending time with Wes and the kids.
Happier or sadder? Than in the last year?! I guess about the same

What kept you sane? Wes
Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Absolutely non at all.
What political issue stirred you the most? I hate Politics! HATE!!
Who did you miss? Everyone back in Utah.
Who was the best new person you met? I have met way too many great new people here in Spokane to even begin to answer that question!
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007. Life is never what you expect it to be, but if you just run with it and have a good attitude, it seems to always work out for the best.
