2009 in Review

Wow. This has really been a year. Honestly, I'd care not to repeat most of it, although it did have some good points. It's always good to reflect though, see what you need to change, etc., so here goes:

January - We started off the month with Kyle getting laid off from Arthur Marshall the same day I quit my job as a nanny. Also, Kyle turned the big 2-8. Time's a tickin towards 30!

February - I started at St. Peter as the music minister, which has truly been a blessing this year. We love our church and can't imagine being anywhere else!

March - Pretty non-eventful, except for someone crashing into my cute little car in the parking lot.

April - I made it through my first Easter as a music minister!

May - I became a Sales Director (for the first time), but more on that later. This was a fun month!

June - Pretty uneventful as well. I did go to New Director Week with Mary Kay - so much fun!

July - I turned 28 this month, went to Mary Kay Seminar, and Kyle was hired by Smith Barney! Woo! 6 months of unemployment was enough. Really.

August - Kyle started his new job, and I broke my back when my poor car was hit. Again. (I healed! No worries!)

September - It was all work this month!

October - Work, work, work! I started applying for school districts to start subbing.

November - I was hired by NISD, started subbing, adding a third job to the mix! We breezed through Thanksgiving and a very busy month.

December - This month was filled with our first Lessons and Carols service at St. Peter, Kyle going to Jersey for 2 weeks, and my dad had 2 surgeries. I was definitely ready for this month to be DONE. However, I did get to see my very first white Christmas!

As we go into 2010, I'm looking forward to being a new woman. I've dropped 7 lbs, and I'm looking forward to knocking off a lot more. In addition, I will get the "opportunity" to become a Sales Director all over again, as we didn't quite keep our production up, but I'm actually looking forward to that too. I'm also looking forward to us finally moving forward financially with our lives and getting back to normal, whatever normal is.

Happy New Year!
