2009 in a Nutshell

Thanks to my friend, Kateka, I'm copying her format for this cute post idea. (Thanks Kateka). I thought it would be fun as well to reminisce about last year for a minute or two.



Funnest Event

• Disneyworld and SeaWorld with Brian's family


• Playing the coin battle of the new Mario game with my brothers.


• Finding out that we're pregnant!
• Park City vacation with Brian

Biggest Purchase

Well, we were doing pretty well all year, but we just caved and bought a piano.

Favorite Movie(s)

• TAKEN!!!!!!


• Wolverine


• Star Trek!!!!!


• Transformers 2


• Harry Potter 6


• UP


• Avatar

Least Favorite Movie(s)

• Race to Witch Mountain- complete waste of time! Ugh!


• I Love You, Beth Cooper- didn't even make it through 20 minutes. We turned it off.

Favorite Celebrities: I'll do both genders. I hated Zachary Quinto just because he was such an evil villain in Heroes, but I fell in love with him when he played Spock!

Also from Heroes, I think Kristen Bell is just so cute.

Least Favorite Celebrity: Mylie Cyrus. She just bugs me.

Guitly Pleasure(s)

• Mint Kara chocolates...YUM!!!


• Banana republic. :)


• A new found obsession with The Biggest Loser

Saddest Moment

My mom had to put our dog down. We had her for about 10 years or so. I cried all day. :(

Sickest Moment

Luckily I haven't been sick at all this year. I guess if you can call sweating to death in Florida for a week an illness, then I would say that.

Favorite Song(s)

I'm a musical kind of girl, so I have LOVED listening to Shrek- The Musical Cd. Some of the songs are weird. I also love the Star Trek score.

Oh....I LOVE the song Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Buble! If that could be sung to my everyday I think I would melt. :)

Songs I Hated

I can't really think of songs I hated. I don't listen to the radio much just because it bugs me. I like my ipod and cd's because I like them all.

Biggest Surprises

• Being pregnant! YEAH!


• Half of all of my other friends being pregnant too.


• Brittany Murphy dying....sad.


• Being called as the ward organist when I've never learned how to play the organ.

Achievements

• I'm still at my current job. Yes this is an acheivement because our workforce department sends people home all the time, makes it busy, thus making me completely CRAZY!


• Painted our apartment by myself....oh minus the ONE wall Brian painted.


• PAID OFF OUR CAR, STUDENTS LOANS, AND ALL CREDIT CARDS! YEAH!!!

Things I've Learned

• Even though I've tried to be a patient person, I still have a long way to go.


• Getting out of debt is soooo hard to do and staying out of debt is a big toughy too!


• Having goals is actually a really good thing for me. Usually I give up right away, but if I stick to them, then I'm really good at accomplishing something even if it takes months.


• Pregnancy means that you have to pee in way too many cups!


• Waking up to eat and pee in the middle of the night is NOT fun! Nor is eating 6 small meals a day.


• Fiber is essential to your health, but I dislike it very much.

In 1 word (or a couple words) 2009 was: A LOT of working

In 1 word (or a couple words) 2010 will be: Different and exciting

I am looking forward to:

• Spring and jacket weather with flowers!!!


• Having a baby bump; finding out the babies' gender; and then being a new mommy!


• Quitting my job! YAY! One more year left....


• Teaching piano lessons

My Hopes (Resolutions) for 2010:

• Be in bed by 10:30


• Read my scriptures everyday, but pay more attention while I'm doing so.


• Go to the temple every month


• Do some more of my family history


• Eat more fiber, even if by force


• Exercise 3 times a week


• Have a more positive attitude and be less dramatic


• Be nicer and really try not to "vent" aka gossip

Anyway, that's my year in review. It was so fun, but I'm so excited for a brand new year!
