2009 Rewind

Well it's been a while...last entry was Labor Day. haha! I must be a holiday blogger (that missed a few in between).

2009 will be gone in about 3 hours. What has happened this year?

*We have had our first year in our new house. It's been alot of work and there's alot more to go but we've made some serious improvements in one year. (

  • Kitchen wallpaper gone and painted
  • Living room wallpaper gone, walls fixed, and painted
  • Bathroom #2 gutted and ready for 1st project of 2010
  • Hallway paneling painted
  • Mudroom paneling painted
  • Trees removed outside and landscaping redone
  • Old Trailer/Shed tore down out back
  • New furnace, woodstove, washer, dryer, and dishwasher
*The economy of 2009 has not been one of the best years, however we are both still employed in an industry that is here today gone tomorrow with small companies. For that we are both grateful.

*My new little newphew was born in September, he is the best little guy in the world.

*My parents are finally able to be in the same room together since the divorce 10 years ago. They don't necessarily talk to each other, but they can be in the same room. SUCH a relief!

*This year has been the year of babies, everyone we know it seems has a new baby. Maybe 2010 will be our year. We'll see!!!

2009 has been the year for many celebrity deaths, the inaugaration in one of the most historical presidential elections, the economy from hell, and the weirdest weather ever (hello texas had a white christmas but PA didn't?). Here's to a new decade and a great new year!!
