Last post of the year

Wow, I am a horrible person. Or just a horrible blogger. Yeah, it is more likely the second one. Seeing as today is DECEMBER 30th, I thought I'd better get in at least one post for the last month of 2009. And HOLY CRAP I cannot believe I am even saying that! This year has gone by so fast. With that in mind, I wonder what should I blog about?

Honestly reader, if you are still sitting there in breath held suspense I will be sourly disappointed as I thought it fairly obvious... it is time for A Count Down. Ah yes, it is that wonderful blog where I look back and reflect on all the amazing things that have occurred over the last 12 months. Now, since my life is pretty damn fantastic, it is going to be hard to narrow down the very best of each month, but I will manage. Ready? Here goes!

January- This one is easy. My best friend got married! And it was a beautiful, amazing, and totally fun event! Accept the part where the crappy hairdresser cut me some funktastic bangs! But, the good news is my bangs have grown out and the happy couple are still that. Win win!

February- (Awesome, I spelled that right on the first try. Shut up, I am a crappy speller.) B and I took our first "real" vacation together to the Bahamas! I say real in quotes because we had gone away on a weekend to Milwaukee not long before that, but that is not a vacation in my book. But the Bahamas, THAT was a vacation! It was a cruise, so much consumption of fruity drinks with umbrellas and all the beer we could handle. And, not to mention probably the coolest part of the whole thing was SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS. Cause my B is a baller like that and he made sure to make that trip something I will not soon forget.

March- My wonderful boyfriend and I decide to take that next step and make plans for to live together!

April- B moves in! Awesome.! Accept the part where poor Kim's car got hit sitting in front of my house (by my wonderful neighbor backing into) on move in day! But the good news is Kim's car was fix and B and I are enjoying playing house! Win win!

May- Remodel craziness winding down. B gets to come help at my store! I miss working with him.

June- Round two of wedding craziness! Meredith and Tony get married, Jake and Sarah get married, romance madness everywhere! Also, not to be overlooked, remodel at my store complete at the time! Re-grand opening a success! Time for a drink... thank God I had some weddings to go to.

July- Dustin and Linda get married. (This was year of the weddings, folks). This was really cool because B was the best man and he had to do a speech, which i sort of helped him write. B and his friends have this really awesome group of people with the most incredible bond I have ever seen in a group that size. I feel lucky to be a part of it, even if I am still sort of on the outside.

August- My boss was on vacation like almost this whole month. It was really cool to run the store myself, make my own decisions, and realize I am not a dumbass as someone would have me believe...

September- One more wedding (nod to the Sellers) and a glorious 8 days off spent with my man! Oh! And let's not forget, Lobster dinner with the Gendreau clan. Always a good time.

October- This one is sad, but a highlight for sure. My brother, Charles, left to study abroad in Japan for 10 months! I give him a lot of credit because I do not think I could go off to some strange place without knowing anyone and survive for 10 months. We miss you, Carlos!

November- Thanksgiving, duh! Not to mention, B's birthday... which I think he is still enjoying the fabulous present I got him!

December- This month has been hectic because it is the most busy time at work. But, it has also been great because of all the family time. I have the most incredible people in my life and I am very lucky. I realize this more and more everyday, so thanks to everyone!


Whew. And now to prepare for next year... my new years resolution is to be a better blogger (among other things). Help me hold to it, guys! And thanks for reading. :)
