Recap of 2008: My Top 10 Proudest Accomplishments

Proudest Accomplishment #10 - Graduation from Law School

Snore.

Proudest Accomplishment #9 - Swearing in Ceremony

Double snore.

Proudest Accomplishment #8 - Acroyoga

Yup indeed, acroyoga. I'll be honest, I've probably only tried it about 5 times this year. But it is random, and I like random.

Proudest Accomplishment #7 - Visiting Teaching

Indeed folks, indeed. This is my old VT companion, Bonnie Pierson after she climbed over this here fence so we could visit our visiting teachee. There were no lengths we did not go through. Indeed.


Proudest Accomplishment #6 - The Regifting

I am keeping with the one picture theme, but I must say, the regifting this year was brilliant. Adam got a lovely hockey figure (as he plays hockey with me) for his birthday. Robert got the exact same hockey figure for his wedding present (also on the hockey team). I got both of them from a hockey game I went to with Raymond (also on the hockey team). They (being the local professional hockey team) gave them (figurines of themselves) to us for free. Raymond gave me his, and I gave them both away. Could it be any more perfect.

Proudest Accomplishment #5 - Decorating Jake's Truck

Oh, her face was worth a million bucks. Welcome to our craziness Mandy. Quite possibly one of the most horribly decorated cars I've ever seen, and frankly I'm proud of it. So was Jake, but don't tell Mandy. Nothing but the best for our Jake.

Proudest Accomplishment #4 - Making it to Jake's Wedding in the First Place

It was July...a few weeks before the bar exam. Who gets married in July when their friend is taking the bar I ask you!! Who doesn't plan their life around me I double ask you!!! Well, I'll forgive him only because I passed the bar. But seriously.

Proudest Accomplishment #3 - Jumping into the Ocean on New Year's Day Dressed as a Bandit

I'll be honest. It was cold. And I hate being cold. But I jumped right in, mask and all. Took the breath right out of me. But you know what? I did it, and I don't regret it.

Proudest Accomplishment #2 - My Halloween Costume

Please notice the florescent green mullet. This was Laura's brilliant birthday gift to me which I vowed I'd figure out how to work into my Halloween costume. All in all, I thought it worked out pretty well.

Proudest Accomplishment #1 - April Fool's Joke

I really didn't think anyone would fall for it, but they did, by the droves. Even though the album was named Engagement 2008, even though there were little jokes laced through the pictures...like stop signs and such. And as if that wasn't enough, I STILL get e-mails, questions, and clarifications on rumors people have heard about my engagement. It was by far, my favorite accomplishment of 2008.
