HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's hard to imagine that it's already 2006 in many places in the world....good ol' 2005 has 6 hours and 18 minutes left for me.

It's been a pretty good year -

Lots of traveling:
Mexico
remote Canada
The Gunflint Trail & the Boundary Waters (barely, but still)
Lots of places in MN and WI
Portland, the Oregon Coast, Washington Coast, Mt. St. Helen's & Mt. Rainer, Idaho, Montana & the North Dakota

I finished my first feature film.

I acted on stage for the first time in 7 years.

I learned how to knit.

I saw Paul McCartney for the 4th time.

and I got engaged....

I'll take it.

Here's wishing you all a spectacular 2006!!

Be safe tonight and enjoy.

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
