2009 in Review

This year has already flown by and a lot has happened. No, really, I mean THIS year, 2010! It has already been 2 weeks and I haven’t had the time to slow down and enjoy or even make a New Years Resolution! I am super bored tonight for the first time since before Christmas and wanted to write down the neat things that happened in 2009 so that I can always look back and remember them.

So I’m just going to go through a trip down memory lane from my old blog to remember what has happened. That’s what blogs are for right?

1. I lost 15 pounds and was in tip top shape this Spring. I even ran 2 miles, something I have never done before.
2. I gained 15 pounds. Hehe. I guess I love looking good half the year and eating the other half!
3. I finally printed my own wedding album after 3 years of being married.
4. Forbeyon sponsored me as one of their photographers!
5. I took horse riding lessons and LOVED it.
6. Josh let me get a horse after my birthday! Rev is my 7 yr. old gelding! I vowed to ride him in a parade.
7. Went on my first photography mission trip to Honduras.
8. Bought Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish while sitting in the DFW airport waiting on a layover.
9. Jocelyn Eloise is my first niece and she was born in July a few days after my 24^th birthday.
10. Featured in The Knot magazine 2 times!
11. Cut all of my hair off that I have been growing out for 2 years.
12. Hosted our 4^th Love Affair Workshop.
13. Was in an elevator with Jeremy Piven and made a blushing fool out of myself.
14. Decided that life on the farm was for us. Josh and I made the decision to move to Stillwater, Oklahoma in the summer of 2010! Moving my business will be the biggest business decision I’ve ever made. We bought 20 acres in the woods.
15. Helped take our youth group to Glorietta, New Mexico and didn’t forget to take my can of bear mace up the mountain.
16. Sold my dream car and bought the ugliest car ever made, the Nissan Cube.
17. Launched UNO! My first photography learning product!
18. Learned that life is so much better when you are married to a great guy.
19. Re-hooked myself to HGTV. My new “thing” is wanting to flip houses.
20. Planted a garden. Everything died except the scallions, which I uprooted after the first freeze.
21. Bought a book on easy gardening.
22. Put our house on the market, yes the one we had built 1 ½ years ago.
23. Started seeing my dad again on a regular basis.
24. Decided that I’m getting old and working too much. 40 + weddings and about two hundred sessions this year actually made me discover my first gray hair.

I guess 24 is all I could think of off the top of my head. You too must be pretty bored for reading all of this also. Have a nice day.

My life could end in 2010 from posting this hilarious, embarrassing picture of Josh and I at the museum in Ruidoso last week, but what would a post where you tell all about your lovely life be without a little dose of humiliation to balance it all out?

Just for the record, Magen made Josh dress up but I volunteered. Just call me the Pioneer Woman #2!
