So I've hijacked my sister's laptop in an attempt to give 2009 a final nod (we get internet on Monday; hallelujah!!) and I hope you guys really appreciate this because its taken me forever to do! :) So here you are, some of my top highlights of 2009 and a big hello to 2010!
Favorite Song:
#1: Halo by Beyonce
runners up: Tonights Gonna Be a Good Night/Black Eyed Peas and pretty much anything by Lady Gaga :)
Favorite Movie:
I haven't seen Avatar yet or I'm sure I'd say that one, so I guess I'll go with either Harry Potter or The Princess and the Frog. I didn't get out to a lot of movies this year, darn.
Favorite TV Show:
America's Next Top Model: PETITE season
(I SWEAR I missed my chance in life, next season won't be for short girls AND I'll be too old--so soooo sad!) ;)
Favorite Book:
Fablehaven series, I know these books aren't brand new, but there's a new one coming up soon! But I ate this series up and just adored it, his writing gets better and better each book!
Favorite Vacation:
Well, since pretty much the only vacation we took was up to Washington, I'll choose that one. :)
Favorite Outfit:
Orange cardigan, I wore this sweater a LOT. Writing this right now sucks because I'm fat and pregnant and I don't like anything I have, so coming up with a favorite outfit was rough!
Favorite Person:
I think normally this section would be like your favorite movie star of 2009, but I don't know any famous people. And since we've moved and I miss a lot of friends, I have to give a little shout out to my friend Shanna who I really just got to know this past year and I adore her. (I have lots of amazing friends that I miss terribly, just focusing on someone from this year ya know?) So anyway, I want Shanna to know that I truly admire her as a person, she's taught me a lot, been a great friend and listened to me go on about whatever for hours, she's so awesome!
Most Drastic Change:
Moving to Washington, and joining the Army Guard. And getting pregnant.
Highlights:
*kids birthdays & fun holidays
*trip to Vegas
*painting Isabel's room
*photography
*playing with cousins
*a very fun summer
*Niki's wedding
*finding out we're expecting again (could possibly go under the next category depending on how you look at things) :)
*new nephew Liam!
*youth activities
Lowlights:
*Sam really sick :(
*Grandpa Larry's passing
*Sam swallowing the needle = awful
*packing up everything in 2 weeks
*missing friends & family from Utah like my heart would be ripped out
I'm sure I can think of lots more highlights and even some lowlights, but I'm tired now and I ate WAAAAAY too much for dinner and I feel stretched. Hope you enjoyed this little look back on this last year, hopefully we'll take what we learned and make next year even better!
