2009, in review

When I read Nicole's A Year In Review, I loved the idea and wanted to get started on my own immediately. Thanks for the inspiration, girl. :) So, here it is: My 2009!

January: I started my first 6-month co-op with a not-for-profit in Cambridge, MA.

February: I turned 20 - woohoo! Plus, we hit up Stratton, VT for snowboarding.

March: I got accepted to UT Austin's Retail Merchandising program but made the decision to save some money and stick it out in Boston. I also got to volunteer with my Dad for Habitat for Humanity - I was a painter!

May: A and I moved into our summer studio apartment - so grown up! A few weeks later, I ran my first half marathon, Boston's Run to Remember, after months of training.

June: Our yearly family trip to Yosemite has a special place in my heart.

July: A bee-a-u-tee-ful, white Peugeot bike from Bikes Not Bombs became mine! Then, A and I took our bikes on the ferry over to Provincetown, MA for a day trip!

August: A transferred schools, and needing a new outlet, I started love in details!

September: My parents visited me in Beantown, and we road tripped to Maine and Newport, RI.

October: I had my first New England apple picking (and corn maze) experience. Love you, honeycrisps. :) Oh, and Pebbles and a cowgirl hung out for Halloween. :)

November: I was offered a position for my second co-op in Dallas, TX. I start in January! I also got to visit my man in TX and the Grand Canyon with the fam for Thanksgiving.

After thinking back, I realize so much went down in 2009! I am so thankful for everything that I've been given, and I'm so ready to charge full-force into the new year. Bring it on, 2010!
