The Year in Review

What a crazy year. A quick review of the year before the end of 2009....and in no particular order....

Nick and Chris visit Argentina and Brazil to ski and visit Steve. Did I mention they were skiing in August?

Stace graduates from college, gets an internship where she actually uses her degree and then decides to go around the world for 6 months starting next Tuesday. Crazy girl.

Doing things you've never done before! Like hiking up half dome in the middle of the night and skiing double black diamonds because Chris wants to "explore."

Disney World with the Ronan sisters. Where I became addicted to pin collecting and was hit on by a 16 year old pin collector who led with the line "so, what do you collect." And a visit to Disneyland for Mom's birthday!

Nick and I complete our first half marathons - separately. Because everyone needs a cheering section.

SPORTS! Griffey's return to the M's - including a trip to spring training, Yankee Stadium and Fenway - all M's victories! Top it off with the huskies winning a few games, including a glorious victory over USC! Mochi was so excited he couldn't watch.

WEDDINGS! And the infamous green dress.

Friends coming to visit - Beth and Erik in September and Kelly in December. A typical Erik shot....if he gets a hold of your camera, you'll get at least a dozen self portraits.

And Nick proposes on our 10 year anniversary in Cabo, much to my complete surprise. So maybe I lied, I saved the best for last.

Here's to a great 2009 and a better 2010.
