2006 Year-in-Review – jamiey.net

Here’s my third annual Year-in-Review blog entry! As usual, in words by season, in photos by month. In sum, it was a year of new stuff. Between getting the hang of life at the agency and playing in the roda, ’06 started with new challenges, in the good sort of way. It was also a year of new travel for leisure and business (San Francisco 3x, Las Vegas 2x, New York, San Diego, Minnesota, London, Chicago). And in general, it was trying new things like geocaching, knife defense, and cooking with vegetables.

Winter began with starting at Avenue A | Razorfish’s Advanced Optimization group as team member #4. It was working out at Capoiera, battling colds, and bumming around inside with Ryan. Not to mention one truly golden birthday. Spring was a trip to San Francisco with Ryan, our two-year anniversary, and my second visit to NYC. It was having tea with Val and Case, a murder mystery train ride, David’s curling outing, exploring Seattle parks with Ryan, and my Memorial Day Weekend Cupcake Decorating X-Men 3 Potluck Dinner Party. Summer was nice, but heavily work-filled. It was late nights in the office, time with the team, and a flurry of client presentations. On the flip side it was two trips to Las Vegas (with the INFO crew y la familia), a wedding in Minnesota, summer dinner parties, Mariners games with Darrin and Bree, Capoeira outside, and a long awaited return to practicing Kung Fu <3. Autumn began with DMB at the Gorge and a camping trip with the crew to Deception Pass. It was pumpkin goods, going out on weeknights to watch Frankie and Irene’s bands, and my very first trip to the UK on business. Finally, it was holiday festivities, spending more time with friends, a new role managing projects at work, and a delightful preoccupation with snowmen.
