Happy New Year

I hope everyone enjoyed their Holidays, we sure did. I've been brainstorming some noble goals that I would like the set for 2010 but have failed to solidify anything as of yet... There's always the obvious ones like losing weight, getting in shape, develop talents etc.. and I would like to improve in those areas for sure, but I'm trying to think of something unique, beneficial and rewarding. I'll keep you posted on that...

2009 in a Glimpse:

- prepared for the arrival of our first child most of February and March
- officially went on maternity leave March 28, 2009 and spent my last and final day @ Medialogic (HALLELUJAAAAAAAAAAH!)
- Amanda moved to the Hamlet spot from Ottawa in February and has been here since
- had a beautiful baby shower, hosted by my sisters and Lindsay
- welcomed Brooklynn Mary Lee into our lives April 14th @ 10:43am
- had all my family here to visit and attend Brooklynn's blessing
- have enjoyed learning the roped of motherhood ever since
- went to the cabin in July
- had fun wake boarding and tubing with friends and family
- Jason lit his legs on fire (2nd degree burns)
- flew home in August to visit my family in Ottawa with Brooklynn
- discovered that flying solo with a baby is a lot of work
- went to Montreal with my family
- really enjoyed spending time and relaxing with them
- while I was there Jason ran a 10km marathon with his sister Megan and his time was just over an hour!
- in August the three of us went to Invermere for a little family vacation at Nana and Papa's love nest
- Jason started school at Mount Royal University in September
- Halloween and thanksgiving were great times with family and I remember them being an insanely busy time of the year...
- Christmas came really fast and left even quicker
- boxing day we flew out to Houston to embarke on a vacation in Jamaica with Jason's family (17ppl) this was QUITE the journey getting there, and even more so for Megan's family but it was a great get-a-way for us all and we made many wonderful memories
- we celebrated the New Year as Beaches Boscobel Resort and watched a time capsule video that Jason's family made in 1999, and made another to watch in 10 years
- went horse back riding in the ocean
- snorkeling (saw two sting rays, a flounder and a puffer fish)
- climbed Dunns River Falls
- and went tubing down a river

Those are just some highlights, Jamaica will be in it's own official post soon.

I must say a lot happened in 2009 and it was a memorable year for us, I'm looking forward to 2010, we have a new nephew on the way near the end of March and look forward to meeting him and any other excitement coming our way :)

Happy New Year :)
