Some 2009 Memories

I spent some time reviewing 2009, trying to decide what my goals for 2010 should be. I came across a few memories that had me laughing, and crying.

January 2009--the broken fridge disaster! All melted and moldy by the time we came home from our trip. Looking back, we were really VERY blessed. Our CSA involvement quickly refilled our freezer this year, and financially we didn't feel the pinch as we feared we would. Thanks, God!

February 2009--Chayce manipulating time by crowing like a rooster whenever she wished the next day would start. Was that really a whole year ago?

March 2009--We did a pantry purge, (oops, I almost wrote panty purge. I wonder how that would show up on Google...ha ha) which is funny now that I look back on the timing, considering all we lost in January. Wow, isn't looking back and seeing blessings abound just amazing? We are doing that again, this month, mainly to have less to move this summer. We can't do the CSA this year, due to the fact that we might leave this summer. I will really miss Indiana. REALLY. And all the people that come with it.

April 2009--Pantry eating continued. But my favorite was Easter, and warm weather finally being here. Lots of outside photos. Really? Does that mean that we are only three months from warmth again? YAY!! Oh, and Stephen passed his final tests during this month, so we've been ABD since then. He's doing great, by the way.

May 2009--Oh! May was just AWESOME! I could not choose a favorite post. A wedding, splash pads, huge CSA bounty. May Rocked.

June 2009--S'more making, firefly catching, beach going, jam canning. A month of verbs.

July 2009--So busy, we didn't post much. But when we did, it was colorful and memorable. 80's party, canning, harvesting, fun. And the 4th of July!

August 2009--We visited some Church History sites, Palmyra, NY being one of them. Chayce had her 4th birthday, and we saw Niagara Falls. AND, we had our 8th wedding anniversary!

September 2009--Obviously, we were either really busy, or not busy at all, only 8 posts! But, my oldest turned 6, so maybe I was mourning.

October 2009-- So full! Halloween, my first 1/2 marathon (eek!), and a trip (without my kids) to Oregon. Busy, busy.

November 2009--Oh, this was a good November post. It included lots of stuff, so I don't have to do it here! ha!

December 2009--Lots of holiday events. Keeping warm inside, and well...treats! Treats to be worked off this January...
