2005 in Review
1) Was 2005 a good year for you?
Yes and no. B and I celebrated 10 years together with a great party and a lot of people we love this year but my family had the greatest, most unexpected loss I can imagine this year and it's left us all reeling. I also felt like I took several steps forward in my creative development but took a few steps back in my professional life.

Our Celebration. It was a great party I think (people that were there do you agree?) and it was so wonderful to have so many people we love in one spot.

Take big steps forward in both my creative and professional paths but most importantly make those paths converge more. Also, figure out where we're going to be living after B completes her fellowship. If we decide to stay here a big goal is to learn to like Indianapolis better, become more involved in the city and finally make some freaking friends here. Those same goals apply to any other city we may move to as well.
