Here are just a few tidbits from the past 9 months of life.
-I got a promotion at work. It's good to be the boss.
-Steven and I road-tripped to Kansas City to visit good friends. Lots of random pictures resulted from that trip.
-For the 3rd year in a row, I wasn't home to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Kind of a bummer.
- The church roomies moved out as of November. It was a long, but good, 6 months.
- Steven and I created a plan and began taking steps to pay off all of our debts, including our mortgage. Best case scenario, we'll be debt free by the time we're 40 (a good 12 years earlier than our mortgage should be paid off).
- I rediscovered books and became a frequent borrower at the QC Library (seriously, they should reserve a parking space just for me).
- I rode on a parade float for the first time in my life.
- Two words: Christmas. Disneyland.
-My best friend and next door neighbor moved to San Jose.
-My grandma (mom's mom) and my stepdad's stepdad died in the same week. Sad times, but they were both so, so sick.
- I started teaching BODYCOMBAT(tm) at Fitness Works in Chandler.
- My nephews reached big milestones - one turned 13 and started junior high, the other turned 1 and began walking.
- My stepdad's grandma turned 100.
-I got my first sunburn of 2009, which resulted in the World's Sexiest Farmer's Tan (thank you Habitat for Humanity!) Ok, so maybe I am speaking in hyperbole. There are many farmers out there with tans that seriously rival mine. Perhaps a more accurate label is the Sexiest (and only) Farmer's Tan in my house.
- I played Rock Band for the first time. L.O.V.E. it.
- I discovered that I am NOT a night owl. I spend days recovering from being awake late. I have a knack for passing out asleep after 9 pm when not otherwise engaged in activity.
- Continuing the sleep theme, I tried sleeping without ear plugs for the first time in years, but went back to the old foam sleep-savers about 2 nights later. Despite my knack for falling asleep, I am a really light sleeper.
- Three friends/couples I know got married. One in November, and two in the past month. Congrats to Steven & Kelly Gonzales, Mitch & Aimee Eiler, and Jeremy & Cherie Wagner (who are still honeymooning on the slopes in Colorado, I believe).
- My Boys & Girls Club Branch had its first ever Youth of the Year candidate - way to go Kolby!! These nine amazing teens are the reason we do what we do.
Fun times coming up in the next 9 months:
- Completing my Les Mills certification, and I hope to get a class of my own someday!
- I turn 25 this month! Quarter-century birthday party, anyone?
- One more wedding to go next Saturday (3/14).
- 6 more months until Steven and I hit a milestone anniversary in our marriage - 5 WHOLE YEARS! How has it been 5 years already? Time flies when you're having fun.
I am looking forward to all that lies ahead and the things that are just around the next bend in the road.
