Raindrops on Roses

2009 Favorites

Ok, for almost everyone this year has sucked. But denying my natural pessimism and recapping our favorite parts of the year is the order of the last 2009 day.

Favorite Moments
9. Times with family & friends
8. The few and far-between moments when all worry and responsibility dropped away
7. Reconnecting with old friends (one of which lives only 5 min away :))
6. Loaded Questions with the Austins and Warrens :)
5. Watching Lorelei devour cake on her birthday
4. New Orleans mini vacation
3. Lorelei's firsts and Aly's more subtle development
2. Aly being completely potty-trained. WOO!
1. Witnessing my beautiful sister marry the wonderful Mr. Andy Willhite.

I'm sure there are significant times, things, pictures, etc. that I've neglected or forgotten. Sorries!

Favorite Discoveries (mostly superficial)13. Shark Steam Pocket Mop (You Might Be a Housewife If...)12. Aly's Kai-Lan Magnadoodle (Fairly new but she hasn't tried to color on the walls since. Score!)

11. Warcraft. It's not new for us, but it was something we'd stopped and come back to.

10. Etsy :) 9. An outside activity we both want to do: Bike Riding! 8. iPhone wonderfulosity
7. Eat This, Not That. Love it, love it, love it. Not a diet, just very good advice.
6. Rediscovering my fashion taste
5. Photoshop CS4 and all the nice things that accompany it.
4. Visiting a church that will hopefully evolve into our church.
3. Masters of Library and Information Science. Gotta get cracking on the GRE studying!
2. Crocheting :)
1. Discovering a teensy bit of confidence in myself
