I just had the best New Year's eve ever. Well I don't actually have a good memory for a new year eve.. nothing dramatic but nothing standing out either. I always was too young, too bored (TV!), too stressed or sleeping long before midnight...
But yesterday was different :)
I had a perfect evening with Mr L. We made little toasts of foie gras and pate, I had a can of peas and an apple (which makes for a perfect TV picnic diner ) and we watched Doctor Who. The full 1st season of the new series.
I was up till 1am our time!! :) And we had fun. We had plenty of bubbly soft drinks like mexican coke, izze fancy drinks and some sparkling tea. It was a very sweet evening. :)
We also talked about our best of 2009 and our best hopes for 2010.
So much to talk about!
2009:
-At some point we went to a retreat with Mr L's young adults group from church and we had a very good time of fellowship there. Following this he started the "Brodays" which are days of celebrating brotherhood of the BBQ. It was a lot of fun during the summer.
-We got married again! In April, we had a two week trip to France visiting family and getting married all over again :)
-We moved from New York to Chicago, and took a road trip through Canada.
-We (I) discovered Chicago. I love being here, the walks, the week ends, the life style..
-We got pregnant!! And decided to move back to France
So these are the main big events I can think of.
For 2010 I am looking forward to:
-visit of my father in law: tonight! or tomorrow morning..
-moving!! just 12 TWELVE days to go!!
-my mom's birthday (in february)
-visiting friends
-visiting my grand father
-my sister's baby in March
-my cousin Sylvaine's baby in May
-OUR baby in July!!!
-my cousin Irene's baby in September
-Next Christmas with everyone
-Week ends in Europe: Scotland, Britany (region of France) Sweden, Bayern..
as much as we can do before baby's here... and maybe after ;)
My plans and objectives for 2010:
-finding a house/apartment to rent.
-passing the driver license!! Getting over the fear of traffic..
-no judgemental critics of random people
- for right now finding a temp job with free week ends
-for end 2010 finding a real good job, with week ends and hopefully 4/5 (which means I get 4/5 of the salary, usually same amount of work, but going to work only 4 days a week) or part time??? Or teaching in catholic schools. I like this option quite :)
That's pretty ambitious already..

Such a full post!
Is the Dr. Who series like James Bond stuff, or is it a medical show?
12 days until you move, that's exciting! Have you started packing?
Just think, instead of saying you'll be having your baby next year, now you can tell everyone the baby is coming THIS year : )
Ha thanks Morgan! Yep I have a baby THIS YEAR!! :) Yipee!!!
Dr Who is a serie about a time traveler, so it's more James Bond type I guess, but really it's science fiction. I grew to like it :)
Oh, a new year full of babies! How wonderful!
Sounds like an exciting new year! I was asleep at midnight. :-) Maybe next year.
