I take too many pictures

2009 in Pictures

Mr. Fruitcake decided to make an honest woman out of me!

I watched Fruitcake Jr. grow up a little more every day

I conned Mr. Fruitcake into having engagement photos done.

We weren't really this cool...

We started a new Mardi Gras fashion trend...

Shook out the sillies to celebrate the upcoming wedding with some awesome ladies

Spent a lot of time at the park

Got married!!

 

 

 

 Danced a million miles

Helped my best friends move really, really, really far away

 

Saw LOTS of corn between Mobile and Minot, ND

Made it to the not so magical Minot, North Dakota

Got to be a Fairy Godmother

 

Played in the rain

Saw my favorite pint-sized ball of fire turn TWO!

Dressed up as the Pacmans...

 

...and went trick or treating as Pippi Longstocking

Spent Christmas with the best sister-in-law ever

 

And hid three sneaky raccoons in a Christmas tree...

Here's to an awesome 2010!

a year in review

In 2009:
I gained 20 lbs
Got engaged
Planned a wedding
Spent a lot of time with the most awesome toddler on the planet
Lost 25 lbs
Got married
Gained every pound back a week after the wedding
went BACK to SCHOOL (eek)
Learned more medical terminology than I ever thought possible
Changed my name
Made some really awesome new friends
Learned a HUGE (and awesome) secret
Got devastating news
Reevaluated what's important to me
Lived well, loved much, and laughed often...

2009 was a TOUGH year for so many people--a lot of people (myself included) had to reconsider everything that's important and make some major life changes.  It was a year for friends and family.  Here's to many happy memories in 2010, and for surviving 2009!
