2009
It came and went at lightening speed.
It was a tough year for our economy - a year of change in the White House - a year of loss for hundreds in our military.
For my family and myself, it was a year of blessings and changes.
I was reflecting on 2009 today... and thought I would do a little recap of this significant year.

Ry Guy Was Born
My sister and her husband gave me my first nephew. An adorable, loving, bundle of joy that brings so much happiness to our family. Ryan Michael was born April 29th, 2009 - a day I will never forget!
TL and I got Married.
September 5th, 2009. The most memorable day of my life... our wedding. I married my best friend, my other half, the sweetest guy I have ever known. The best decision i've ever made. With the wedding came a beautiful rehearsal dinner on September 4th.
The wedding.
The rehearsal dinner!
My Dad Retired
2009 brought the end of an era. My dad retired from the fire department after nearly 40 years of service. It's been an adjustment for our family... and the community!

I traveled
California, US, Europe
New York City with TL in April
Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland & London on our honeymoon adventure for the month of September
We spent many weekends at his mom's house in Carmel, CA
Took our engagement pictures and several trips to our second home: San Francisco
Spent 10 days with my dad and sister, Juju, in Florida wakeboarding... and at Disney World!
Vegas with the girls for my Bachelorette party!
Los Angeles for a weekend with the girls.
I was showered with love
My incredible sisters threw me a special "shoe themed" shower and my sweet MIL threw me a tea party shower at the St. Regis is San Francisco.
My mom, sisters and I at the fabulous shoe shower.

Got A New Job
I went from one television station in Sacramento to another... a big and exciting transition to full time.
2010 made me a wife, an auntie, a sister in law, daughter in law, and a better person. I learned so much this year. I am so thankful for the adventure 2009 was. I feel so blessed.
Looking back through my blog, I wrote about it all.
2009 was also the year I got more involved in blogging and met so many wonderful people... thank you for hanging in there and enjoying the ride with me!
