Happy New Year!

I've been working on the "obligitory New Year post" for a week or so and I've decided it's just crap. All this reflecting on the year and making resolutions for the next year, I've never been a fan. This year has been both good and bad, just like every year is (although this year had more extremes). Good bye 2009 and don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out! That's how I feel about it. But just to give you warm fuzzies, here's some good stuff from the year:

• Welcomed our healthy, beautiful baby boy
• Celebrated 5 years of marriage (and 10 years of togetherness) with my hubby
• Lost 35 pounds. Yeah, you can all give me dirty looks. 28 pounds of that was baby weight and the other 7 lbs, I have 2 explainations: 3rd floor walk-up and unemployment, neither of which I recommend
• Turned 30 years old and it was actually pretty awesome
• Got a job!!!
• We were able to travel and people traveled to us so that Elijah could meet almost all of his aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents and great-grandma (and great aunts and uncles and second cousins...)
• I read several books this year. For fun. And this was even before I lost my job. (Hurray Reading and Eating Ladies!)
