Here Comes 2009!

It's so crazy to think it's going to be 2009 in several hours. I remember thinking when I was a kid that in the 2000's we'd have flying cars and life would be like the Jetson's. We are definitely more advanced than we were in the 80's and 90's but sadly not Jetson like... Maybe in the year 3000 but then again I won't be here to see that... Unless of course I go sign up for cryogenics and freeze myself along the way. Nah!

2008 was a good year for me!
- The hubby turned 34 and I turned 31 (I got to see my first drag show for my big day!).
- Traveled home to see family and friends and reconnected with my adorable cousins.
- I went to NY with friends (saw Xanadu, had tea at The Plaza, attended the St. Patrick's Day Parade and much more).
- Saw the Dalai Lama speak at Seahawk Stadium
- Went on a road trip with hubby and checked out some cool cities in Washington.
- Had several friends get married in WA and CO.
-Celebrated friends and family members birthdays, one memorable b'day included an 80's party that lastesd all weekend!
- Urban Fashion Network turned 1. We attended some amazing events and met some great people along the way.
- Participated in my 2nd Danskin Triathlon. Ran the Vancouver Half Marathon.
- Went on a wine/biking trip with friends in Walla Walla.
- My dad retired after 40 years of working - lucky, lucky guy!!

Plus there were so many great days with friends and family in 2008! I can't wait to see what 2009 has to offer!

Have a happy new year - stay safe out there!

31 Days To Go...

I can't believe we have ONLY 31 days left of 2008. It feels like just yesterday it was Summer and now Thanksgiving has come and gone and Christmas is on the horizon. Where did the time go?

Anyways, this Thanksgiving was low key in my household. We decided to have strangers feed us and deal with the cleanup. We headed on over to 13 Coins for their turkey feast. I must say it is nice to not have to clean dishes and deal with all that but I do miss the leftovers for days... Maybe it's best to not have all that food calling my name - it keest the Thanksgiving pounds off that's for sure. The rest of the weekend was pretty low key and uneventful for the most part.

Tonight I went to see Slumdog Millionair with my gal pals, Regina and Melissa. It was a really good movie. Regina and Melissa had trouble with a certain scene... I'll just say it had to do with how little Jamal got his favorite celebrities autograph. I thought it was pretty damn funny!! The movie (and recent news reports) have made me not want to plan a trip to Mumbai India anytime soon... Sorry India.

Anyways, make the best of what 2008 and we have left. It's going to be gone before we know it... Love your friends and family and I hope you have a great Holiday season, no matter what you celebrate! :)

I didn't mean for this to sound like my last post of 2008... it's not! ;)

Yay 2008!!

2007 has finally come to a close and now I am looking ahead at 2008. We are still working on the details for UFN and what is to come. We are hoping to make some exciting changes to the site and get involved in as much as we can. We'd love your suggestions for what you'd like to see.

We had such a great 4 months in 2007 and I can't wait to see what happens for us in this new year!!

I made my resolutions and I hope to stick to them! What are your resolutions? Care to share? I am hoping to get into better shape. Do another race of some sort. Do more yoga. Travel a bit more and organize my life.

My Christmas was really good. Went to Colorado to visit my in-laws. Got some snowboarding in at Breckenridge... By snowboarding I mean, boarding, falling, boarding, falling, boarding, falling... I did a lot of falling - brought home some pretty bruises. ;) I should add learn to snowboard to my resolution list as well!

Thank you to all of you who supported us in 2007. Yay 2008!!!
