What I Did in 2009

21 Dec

[For the rest of 2009, blog posts are going to be sporadic. I have some batteries that need recharging and some special people to spend time with. Happy Holidays!]

I’ve prepared a few special end-of-the-year posts for the rest of December. I hope you enjoy them.

2009 was quite a year. I can say with honesty and certainty that it wasn’t the best year of my life. But! A lot of good and fun things happened, and I’m glad to have my blog to document those memories.

Let’s start from the beginning, shall we? This is just a random sampling of fun and interesting things I liked remembering.

January: I went to Obama’s Inauguration and We Welcomed Scone into our Home.

Fabulous
