End of a Decade

Well, I haven't really posted here in a long time... lots of stuff going on in my life that I didn't really want to share with the internet, and the stuff that I could share was kind of boring ;) So here's my annual year-in-review post.

2009 was certainly a year of ups and downs. Lots of trials, not just for me, but for a lot of my loved ones. Lots of firsts. Lots of joy. Lots of sadness. I grew up an awful lot this year, learned about myself, and am resolving for 2010 to take it a bit easier on myself.
