2009 in pictures

Happy New Year! Here's what I was up to in 2009. Brace yourselves folks, it's riveting stuff.

January

I rang in the New Year last year with friends and this adorable little girl

February

Went to the local Mardi Gras parade and met up with a friend who has moved away.

March
Moved out of my parents' house. Woo hoo! Funny thing is, about 2 months from now I believe I'm moving again.

April

Went to my company's annual Easter egg hunt at the zoo.
Gave my poor Goddaughter antennas.

May
Mom retired from teaching. I believe she had 30+ years.

Went to NYC with mom and Laura. Had an absolute blast and I can't wait to go back!

In June I had LASIK on my eyes. They looked pretty nasty so I'll spare you the pictures. But I got rid of my glasses I'd had since 3rd grade. Best money I've spent!

July
Melain and I had our first sleepover at my apartment. She was an angel and slept all night.

August



In August my friend Heather got married and I was a bridesmaid. At the end of the month I also threw a baby shower for my friend Sharon

September

In September I went to the beach with Laura and Stan and their family. My friend Sharon had her baby while I was gone, and I got to take some pictures of him when I got back!

October

In October we had our annual girls trip to Natchez to the Hot Air Balloon Festival. Good times!

November

Tanner turned 1. I had my first Christmas tree decorating party at my apartment. I use the term "decorating" very lightly.

December
My friend Lillie came through town and I got to meet her ridiculously cute twin baby boys.

Had a good Christmas with the family. Dad got a guitar. Laura got a really neat Nativity scene, I got a sweet new camera lens, and then we partied out in the country with extended family, shooting fireworks and cozying up next to the bonfire.

I'm incredibly blessed and fortunate to have the friends and family that I do. I can't wait to see what the new year brings. More babies are on the way for several of my close friends, and I'm really excited about that. Possibly moving, traveling a good bit, and hopefully starting Graduate School is all on my agenda.

Happy New Year everyone!
