I never do those year in review things. I tend to mention only the big ticket happenings, figuring no one really wants to hear the small 'had a smiley moment' ones. And then it comes off sounding ... I don't know ... either overly cheery or just downright dreadful.
All in all, 2009 really was a year of intense highs and lows. And, looking back, I think it was probably the small smiley moments that kept me from losing my mind.
In no particular order ...
One of my oldest and closest friends died, Hoss's vet issues gave me serious anxiety problems, and the year closed out with us having to put our old girl down.
I was hired on as an actual employee, I was up many nights with severe stomach pains, and I was able to reconnect with a bunch of old friends from high school.
We got a new couch and loveseat, I painted our living room and I'm still in love with it, and I'm able to comfortably wear jeans that I hadn't even been able to sit in when they were first purchased.
I fought with our tv provider more than once, became a great-aunt again, and found a Christmas village for seriously cheap.
I hope 2010 holds ...
A lighter me.
No more extended animal health problems.
A completed and approved home study.
And a Christmas with a family addition inside our own home. Um, the 2 legged kind. Not the 4 legged, talks funny kind.
So there ya have it. My version of a year in review.

...and you are a cook kid too - so i'm glad you've done a year review. It hasn't been easy, has it? Especially with Pearl gone. She was loved and she knew it and nothing can take that away.
As for your new year - i can only wish you the best my friend, and yes here's to new additions in both our lives - and yes the 2 legged kind ;)
Happy New Year!!!
Hey, hon.
I just wanted to thank you for your congratulations. I know that you would never be anything less than happy for me, because that's just the amazing, unselfish peron that you are.
But I just. . . I don't know. You are one of the people that I was talking about. It honestly rips my heart out that you still haven't gotten your first miracle. I know it will come, but I am just not very patient. I want you to know that when it happens, I will be over the moon with excitement. I seriously cannot wait.
In the meantime, just know that I am thinking of you and am so thankful to 'know' you. You are a blessing to me.
Thank God for the smiley moments, for sure!
I wish you all of your dreams come true in 2010!!!!
