2009

believe it or not, this little blog of mine isn't even a year old yet. this comes as quite a shock to me; i feel like i've had it forever!

our lives changed so dramatically in 2009. i am overwhelmed with gratitude when i look back and see how far we've come in such a short amount of time.

here's a look back on 2009, blog style:

1. i started a blog with this this post. i had no idea how much fun i would have or how many amazing people i would meet.

2. i went to my first lakers game and celebrated my first anniversary with the love of my life.

3. levi sold a painting to one of my readers, and i had my first blog in real life meeting.

4. i learned the difference between detergent and fabric softener.

5. i visited my favorite city twice.

6. i had some not so positive moments.

7. i received a really sweet gift from a beautiful, new friend.

8. i made this, and it was featured here.

9. bought some new pjs.

10. we left our tiny studio in downtown long beach for our adorable one bedroom in belmont shore.

11. i turned 27, and he turned 29.

12. i had the most amazing night of my life and made the perfect burger.

13. i shared my heart and soul.

14. i went back to school, and we adopted our little gretel snack-pack.

15. i ate millions of these, broke my camera forever, and started a "book" club.

it's been a crazy and amazing year. i feel so blessed to have an amazing man by my side through it all and can't wait to see what 2010 brings us!

happy new year!
