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.

Winter Blahs

As I was reading my blogs this morning, noticing that a lot of people have updated recently, I realized I hadn't written anything in 2009 yet!

This is due to the fact that 1) Nothing terribly exciting has happened so far in 2009, and 2) I have serious case of the winter blahs and didn't want to depress anyone with a mopey post.

I have, however, managed to go skiing in 2009, so here are some pictures. We were at Blue Mountain on Jan 10th. I bought a new ski outfit (no more purple and green for me!) and had a blast!


I no longer look like a purple plum while skiing
