2009 was such an amazing year. I have learned so much in my relationships, financially, and grew spiritually.
The highlights of 2009:
1) Joining a small group and meeting 4 new friends that have changed my life. I look forward to Wednesday nights every week.. I get to catch up with them and their lives, and also share mine.
2) Dan started the surgical tech program and loves it! :) It has opened up so many opportunities and he has discovered many new interests in the health field because of it. I am so happy for him..AND hes is good at it!
3) I am no longer a people pleaser!! One of the biggest areas of healing I have received this year.
4) I got to travel to Vegas for the first time with Dan. It was one of the best vacations and we ate sooo much delicious food.. ! I cant wait to go back in about 10 years, haha.
5) Mexico with the family for a 4 day weekend!
6) Elizabeth bought a house.. not really a highlight for me but I am very happy for her!
7) My 25th birthday. I had about 10 friends come over that night and we had a blast. I definitely wasnt sad about turning 25 like I had thought!
8) I have grown up and changed my life over the course of a year, I value my marriage, friendships and family a lot more.
9) Dan got a job.. an easy one that he enjoys where he can do his homework/study and get paid..perfect!
10) I am pregnant! Dan and I found out early October that I was 5 weeks pregnant. One of the biggest blessings in our life and it came at the PERFECT time. I feel so incredibly blessed.
11) My 4 best friends are pregnant with me!! (still waiting on one more.. :) Thanks God. Perfect timing! 2 Girls are due in March, Im in June, then one in July (4 weeks behind me!) and one in August. (8 weeks behind me!)
(Of course there are many other things that are awesome about 2009 but as I said, I am pregnant and my brain is pregnant as well lol, I really think 'pregnancy brain'. Ive done the laundry without detergent, Ive heated up hot water for tea in the microwave without water in the cup - OUCH!, and when I started writing this I thought I was saying goodbye to 2008.. lol. )
Ive been keeping a journal for over a year and stayed consistent, I am very proud of myself. I especially love documenting the pregnancy and my life. I cant wait for 2010, I get to meet my son or daughter, Dan graduates, we are celebrating our 10 year anniversary (3 years married) in July... and many more exciting things to come. I couldn't be happier or more blessed.
