525,600 Minutes... How do you Measure a Year?

Most people choose to think about the events of the last year on an important date, you know, New Years, Birthdays (themselves or their children), Christmas... ohhhh not me - I choose to break tradition and ponder on the dealings of last year on July 19th.  The date actually does means something to me, it was the time I first ever met or chatted with Chris.  As I sat and read the conversation we had a year ago - I got to thinking about how much our relationship had changed in a year and then I thought - what else has happened.... thus the post.


I decided to make a list to start with of things that have happened for me from July to July:


Trips I've Taken: 4

Times I've Twisted my Ankle: 2 

Weddings I've Attended (happily or otherwise): 4 

Babies Born (not mine!!!!): 3

Engagements (my own): 1

Break-ups (my own): 1

Therapists: 2

Different Kinds of Churches Attended (other than LDS): 3

Deaths: 1

Musicals I've Seen:  12 - that I can remember...


So then, at the rate of sounding like a real "RENThead", How do you measure a year?  Should I measure mine in heartache or happiness, love lost or love gained, trips or musicals?


I cant believe it's been a year since I first talked with Chris...
