Yes, I realize that it is the 5th of January...but I've been inspired, so here's our 2009 in review.
January: I celebrated the new year working, while Brad played Rock Band all night. The next day we bought Rock Band from the Moore's and have been addicted ever since. Sweet Anna joined our family, Brad turned 26, and I learned sushi didn't have to be horrible.
February: Brad was laid off from Samsung, but we celebrated my favorite Valentine's ever! How could it not when it included chocolate covered strawberries and steak with friends?!
March: El came to visit! We love when friends come down and it was so nice to have time to see Ellen that was longer than an hour. Mom and Aunt Vic came to visit! We had an AWESOME time shopping and decorating our house...we also made a hole in our bathroom wall, and unfortunately we're slackers and haven't fixed it yet. Hahaha. It's on our list of resolutions for the year.
April: Brad became a rancher, and posted his first blog post. We went home for Easter and met our new niece.
May: Aunt Jo, Uncle Bob, Bradley, Lauri, and Chase came to visit. We had SO MUCH fun with them! We saw the bats for the first time which was cool. Brad's parents came to visit for their birthdays which was great to be able to celebrate together.
June: My first visit to Washington D.C. for Will and Erinn's wedding! The wedding was beautiful and it was great to catch up the Gibson's and the now Sauer's! Sweet Emily turned 2, can't believe she's so big! J.D. was able to visit a day and he and I were able to play some Peter Pan Putt Putt and if I remember correctly..I won! :)
July: Rox and Jake came to visit! It was awesome to have them here, and we discovered again the goodness of County Line BBQ! Oh delicious mac and cheese and bread pudding!
August: We saw Wicked and I LOVED it! Also we realized we're addicted to Fro Yo. It's been entirely too long since we've had any. We also went to Indiana to celebrate El and Ryan's beautiful wedding!
September: A huge month! Celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary! Year 2 was fantastic! Headed to Springfield for Jonathan and Andrea's wedding and were able to see Preston and Courtney for the first time in 2 years! Then headed on a Disney Cruise with Brad's parents...it was AMAZING!!!
October: Almost moved to Utah, but instead Brad took a job with Apple Energy Group here in Austin! Fell in love with Austin all over again! We also went to our first Texas A&M game.
November: Headed to Indiana to celebrate Thanksgiving with both our families. Arrived back in Austin and I started my new job as a CCU nurse.
December: I turned 25...YAY!! We joined a gym...whoa! Went to Indiana for Christmas, and brought in the New Year in an awesome way spending lots of time with friends.
Overall, 2009 was crazy and unexpected but perfect. I think that God taught us this year that He is ALWAYS in control, and that we need to trust in His perfect plan. We're learning to have servants' hearts, and to be more purposeful in our life. We want to be more intentional in our everyday life so those around us can see Jesus! We're excited to see Him move this year.
Exciting things are ahead in 2010...stick around...I'll fill you in!
