2009 in Pictures

This week I have been reflecting on the new year and the year that has just passed. 2009 was a tough year for us. There were a lot of changes (mostly good) and a lot of upheaval in my personal life. I had lots and lots of trials, but I was able to overcome them and learned a lot about life and a lot about myself in the process. I'm thankful for my trials. I am a stronger person because of them. That's what our song of the week is about.

As I was thinking back about it, there were a lot of good memories from 2009. So here is a look back at 2009 in pictures.

What we did in 2009...

We cheered on our mom through her weight loss journey...

Before...
After... Way to go, Mom!

We met some good, slightly-off-the-wall friends...

We went and saw some cool shows and learned about the Circle of Life...

We went on random shopping trips to Walmart with our cousins at 3 am...

We discovered the creepy green circle and its many uses....

We said goodbye to a beloved vehicle...

And we said hello to a new one... Look how shiny!!

We learned to make beautiful flowers out of delicious frosting...

We put on some silly disguises...

We totally schooled our family at Wii tennis...

We went on trips to San Diego with our roommates and seeing the sun did funny things to us...

We made totally rad costumes to scare people on Halloween...

We got all gooey inside taking super cute pictures of our husband...

We watched sad movies and cried a tiny bit...

We colored on ourselves with Henna designs...

We played some really weird games that we got for white elephant presents...

We got a puppy and tried to teach him not to chew up everything...

We drank some very questionable looking liquids...

We got married in a special place...

We watched our friends get married too...

We ran away after so we wouldn't get hit by the rocket...

We dressed up in costumes and solved a murder...

We did some super amazing flying leaps through the air...

We took dance lessons...

We played some music on the drums and people clapped for us...

We went on a ride 10 times and almost threw up...

We ate tons of shrimp and almost threw up...

We got called to the nursery...

We found ourselves a castle...

We didn't bring warm enough clothes to see the deer...

We had lots of love in our life...

We built some forts that took up the whole room...

We painted our faces to look pretty awesome...

We made birthday cakes that looked like pirate ships...

We lived happily ever after...

At least for now!

Happy 2010, everyone! I have a feeling it's going to be a great year.

Love always,
