Appetizer
How do you usually celebrate on New Year’s Eve?

Most years we stay home and, if we’re feeling particularly festive, we might break open a bottle of bubbly grape juice. I know, we’re totally crazy. This year, though, we’re actually going out to dinner! And then we’ll come home sometime before midnight to toast with the grape juice. We moved back into the Eastern time zone this year, so it’ll be the first time in years that we’ll actually be watching the ball drop at midnight rather than 11pm. I’m actually pretty excited about that.

Soup
Name one thing unexpected that happened to you in 2006.

Holland. We moved there, and then (a whole week later) we moved back. It wasn’t a fun time.

Salad
Where was your favorite place that you visited in 2006?

Harbor Island, SC. We had an unexpected vacation at the beach, and it marked the end of a lot of chaos for our family.

Main Course
What resolution is your top priority for 2007?

I don’t normally make resolutions, and I’m hesitant to call this a “resolution” because it seems like it would be too easy to fall away from if I do that. But I’d like to lose about 40 pounds in 2007.

Dessert
Using just three words, describe 2006.

Things fall apart. I know that sounds depressing, but a good part of 2006 felt like we were falling apart. Rest easy, though. We’re all better now.
