Even though our first year was a great year as far as being married goes, it was a TOUGH year as far as sickness, vehicles & household appliances go! It seemed it was just one thing after another - especially early this year. I got staph infection, bronchitis, & i am not kidding when i say that i have sneezed more in 2009 than in my entire life! (I'm guessing i've developed allergies in my 30's). It was just insane! My car broke down a bazillion times, along with our a/c breaking, toilet breaking, faucet breaking, washing machine breaking...ya get the idea?! Not only that, but i have never been as stressed out, frustrated & miserable in a workplace as I was in '09. Yet, even with all this, we are still very blessed & love our life. I just hope 2010 is a healthy & non-stressed year! (And i have a feeling it will be!)
3 of my bloggie friends - Jenna & Nicolasa & Ginger - did their year in review also & i thought it would be fun to do, too! So, here we go!
JANUARY
Yeah so. No january pics. I can't find a single one! I'm thinking this because this was our sickest month! i don't think we did much of anything other than rest & get well!
