It's now December. Where does the time go?

Lots to remember about the year 2008:
Barack Obama elected first African-American president of the U.S. (and my first time voting in a presidential election), much global worry over the financial crisis, first tattoo, summer Olympics in Beijing, pirates and vampires abound, house shows and living in the Columbia Heights house with Aaron and Katie and Sarah (plus signing my first lease), countless bombings and crashes worldwide, trips to North Carolina and Montreal, one of my best friends finally getting out of the hospital, training new employees at work and going to concerts with co-workers, and appreciating youth as I turned 20.
