Reflecting and Celebrating...

I am very grateful for the many ways God blessed our lives this past year. Sometimes making a list like this is helpful to remind me of this. So here's 9 things in 2009 that blessed our lives in both big and small ways...

1. Found out we are going to have a baby

2. Trip to Key West in July

3. Painted the living room yellow

4. Celebrated 5 years of marriage

5. Ran my first 5K

6. Road trip to Chicago

7. Ryan got his new job!

8. I got a new office at work

9. I discovered Wassail: Finally a hot beverage I actually like besides hot chocolate. I tried out making my first batch at the new years party.

We said goodbye to 2009 and hello to 2010 by hosting a dinner party at our house with friends:

good luck trying to take a serious picture with Ryan:

Just the girls:

2010 here we come!
