2009 In Review

WOW!! I can't believe I am writing to you in the year 2010! It's amazing how quickly time flies. As I was reviewing my planner this past week at work nearly every day was scribbled in with one type of appointment or another. I meant to bring it home to use it to blog about the past year but I'll try and do my best here. Just a quick recap of a few of the highs and lows of the year.

January

Obama was put into office. Could it really have been a year ago? I was sick most of the month and spent it working and hanging out with Dave most of the time.

February

Flew to Oregon. bought my new Mac! Got to eat Washington apples in the state of Washington.

March

Dave and I are stopped being friends. I guess he got tired of me.

Went to Vegas to enjoy a weekend trip with the girls.

April

Went to a Britney Spears concert. Judge me if you want, I had a great time!

May

28th-30th had a surprise visit from Matthias. He came into town to see the Superbike World Championships and he got me tickets and passes to go with him! I hadn't seen him in over 5 years.

June

Ben & I stopped being friends. Flew to Vegas for Jade's homecoming from Taiwan.

July

Watched the fireworks from the

foothills that overlooked the valley. We got to enjoy 4 fireworks shows from one spot for free with no crowds of people.

6th-Went to Bear Lake for Rita Bita's birthday.

15th- I bought my new car dubbed Fancy Nancy

15th- got a call from the Dr. telling me they thought I had Cancer and that I needed to come in for further testing and to get a biopsy.

22nd-ish my sister Irene flew to Utah/Idaho for a few weeks. I took her to outdoor concerts, the pioneer day parade, and to climb a mountain. Drove her up to Idaho to see our sister Marie and we went to Jackson Hole for the day.

28th- woke up in excruciating pain and spent the rest of the day in the hospital. Spent the next week going to other dr's appointments and getting tested. They found out I have gastritis, and lots of large cysts on my ovaries. There were other things as well but I can't remember.

August

1st- moved into an apartment all by myself for my first time ever. I was done with roommates and just wanted to live by myself not having to move every year because of other's situations. Also the start of having no internet for the next three months.

16th had my biopsy and flew out to San Diego for a care free weekend with one of my most favorite people ever. I also got to see the San Diego temple for the first time in person. My brother was in Utah when I flew back from San Diego and I got to hang out with him for a few days.

September

3rd- I was broken into by a random drunk guy. Decided that living by myself was not a good idea for the time being 5th- I cut my hair into two ponytails. One 12 inches and the other 15. Also, I can't remember if it was August or September but Jade once again displayed her love and devotion to me by brining back BLUE BELL ICE CREAM from her adventures in Dallas. (this must have been august but oh well. September is lacking for pictures.)

October

Moved in with Raquel and Rita. Rita went to Jordan to visit her boyfriend and ended up not coming back to the States once she got engaged. Went to a random Halloween party with Raquel and Brit.

November

Flew to Houston for my 25th birthday and Thanksgiving. I got the Swine Flu as an early birthday present. I was miserable for close to 2 and a half weeks.

December

Flew to Houston again for Christmas. Spent close to 2 weeks there and I was in Heaven getting to see old friends and my wonderful family! Rita also surprised up from Jordan for the holidays. She flies back out in Jan.

Well, it's been a great year! Everyone keeps saying 2009 was bad and that 2010 will be so much better. All I have to say is that 2009 was divine for me... and if it only gets better from here... I am one lucky girl and I just can't imagine the wonderful things that lay ahead in the next 12 months!
