Okay...so I got behind and then my moments got all scrambled...so I decided to follow suit and do a rundown in an organized manner. I wish I would have done this every year since I learned how to write...it is fun to look back and remember.
So here goes:
January: *Turned 26...not all that excited. :)
*Took a trip to Destin, Florida, played on the beach, took fun pictures
* Visited Grandma Helen in Mobile, AL
*Attacked by my appendix
February: *pretty much suffering from a severe butcher job by my doc. the entire month
*my Mom comes to save the day for a week...and boy was she MORE than welcome
*Grandma comes to save the day as well...wish she could have stayed longer, love her.
March: *Still recovering...bleck!
*Family come to visit during Spring Break! Yipee! We eat awesome BBQ and go to the
zoo....cry when they leave.
April/May *Get an awesome deal on plane tickets and fly across the country to visit my family
because Spring Break was not nearly long enough.
*drive the good 'ol van back across the country to Mississippi

came out alive and checkbooks untouched...got free meals and tickets
September: *Go to the Delta County Fair...have lots of fun
*Pack us up and move me and Carter to American Falls, Idaho to learn
the Tax Credit System and Yardi Accounting Software.
*Drive across the country yet again..this time taking the southern route.
*Pit stop in Albuquerque to visit the Science Museum (Carter's fav. part of the
trip...he still asks to go to Albuquerque)
*I learn how to spell Albuquerque.
*Another pit stop...Grand Canyon...or as Carter calls it "The Big Hole" It is
still amazing...or even more so than the last time I saw it...oh 21 years ago.
*Make it to St. George and spend a few days with Gma DeAnn (Josh's mom)
**note I love St. George and just might want to settle there**
*Continue on and make it to Twin Falls where we spend a few days with my fam.
* Move-in to my awesome...HUGE...apt. in American Falls. Start working...
...Josh flys home.
October: *Learn that I really can be a Mom all by myself...and I am actually pretty good at
it! ha!
* Make lots of new discoveries about myself, my abilities, and am proud I do know
how to function on my own.
*Also realize I really, really love my husband (not that I didn't know...but absence
really does make the heart grow fonder)
*Discover American Falls...realize I love tiny towns...discover the fun library.
*Casey, Cody, and Atrion move in with me. Love having them around.
*Josh flies back for the week. Decides to take Carter back with him...rips my heart
out when they both leave me for 3 weeks!
*Before they leave though we have a little fam. reunion in Albion and go through the
haunted mansions....SO MUCH FUN being together for the night! Peed my pants a
little.
*Dress up as a vampire with Casey for Halloween. Go to a spook alley in A.F. that is
seriously AWESOME and so well done...the best I have ever been too...loved it!
*missed my boys and missed trick or treating with Carter...seriously bummed!
November: *Work
*Read lots and enjoy my freedom and down time, hang out lots with Casey
and Atrion.
*The boys come back for a couple days but then drive to Vegas to be with
Josh's family for Thanksgiving.
*I need to stay close to property so I join my family in Twin for Thanksgiving...
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
the yummiest dinner was served!
*Had extended family get together...good to see everyone!
* Josh and Carter come back...we spend a couple weeks in A.F. getting loose ends
tied up and getting Cody ready to take over the property.
December: *Packed up again and headed to Twin to spend a few days and say a bunch of
goodbyes.
*Headed out across the country again.
*Pit Stop in Moab and visit the Arches National Park...NEAT!
*Another stop in Amarillo, TX to visit the Children's museum there. Fun!
*Make it back to Memphis/Mississippi...actually happy to be back!
*Guess what...still living in the office! Can you believe that!
*Get a hotel in downtown Memphis for Christmas Eve and Christmas.
*Enjoy our time together, swim, watch movies, veg, open gifts
*Now here it is 11:39 pm on New Year's Eve and both of my boys are snoring...
who says we don't have an exciting life;)!
2009 was a great year despite my medical troubles. Carter grew and changed a lot and I am just loving the little boy he is! Josh and I grew closer together and realized we actually did not do too shabby on some of our goals...while other goals are going back on the list in hopes of getting them accomplished. We got to see a lot of new places and revisit others. We are seriously so blessed...for real! I am so excited for a new year...a fresh start! I can't wait to see what lies ahead and accomplish a bunch of things on my list! I pray 201o will be an amazing year for you all.
Happy New Year!
