I'm sitting at work and I'm sooo bored right now. Rain in the car biz means a slow week of paperwork! So, lucky for you...I get to blog now!
Matt and Renee and their little ones have been living with us for the past few months and I am in love with those boys! Nephews are the greatest!! Almost makes me want my own kids....almost. Jonas is potty training right now and he'll be 3 on Monday. He says and does the funniest things. Yesterday we found him running himself a bath - stripped down, toys in the tub, cold water running (not plugged) just sitting in there! haha (he may have had a little accident...) The other day Renee heard him singing "A Child's Prayer", but he mixed the words up a bit and sang, "Heavenly Father, you are really there..." Precious. It's nice to have a child's innocence around to put things back in perspective. Gibson is just sooo nice to have around. Renee has been lucky to have such good babies. He laughs and smiles at everything and he's motoring all over the place! If you're ever having a rough day, that baby's smile will fix it in a heartbeat! I just love them.
So, I just read Lindsay's blog and decided to steal her post, since I don't really want to post about dirt biking with my brothers last weekend, and my dad's new calling (1st Counselor), and how great my boyfriend is....
1. What did you do in 2009 that you've never done before?

I can't remember! I know I have some pregnant friends who are close to me who are close to giving birth though!

August 15th - my best friend, Joni, got married and I was her maid of honor. It was a truly beautiful day.

Just my mind

Oooh, so many things...pretty clothes, scarves, shoes...technically I paid for my cruise in 2009 so I'm counting that!

I moved home and paid off my credit cards...so it all went to the banks

I went to San Fransicso with Megan Paris and it was sooooo much fun! We had a blast! I turned 27. We'll probably do a repeat trip this summer and go somewhere fun again...I hope!
19. What political issue stirred you the most?
I'm not political but I'm trying to pay attention a little more. I guess the health care issue got me listening for a minute...

Reading your posts make me happy! You are so fun to be around and just as fun to blogstalk :) and I HEART HP!
Tell me about it Lindsay!
hey there, loving the list...and I love that you took a pole dancing class...I did as well. and it was hilarious, mostly cuz I'm so incredibly graceful and just so naturally sexy that I felt bad for the other girls. lol. or mostly cuz I was super clumsy, not sexy at all and had to practice giving a lap dance by giving one to my sister-in-law. that was rich. anyhoo...nice list. you are awesome.
Fun post! Looks like you had a fantastic year. What will 2010 bring?! So I wanna know more about Mr. Charlie :) And yes I will be at Lisa's wedding. I can't wait to see you! I fly in Friday afternoon (26th) and then leave on Sunday. Have you talked to Emily? I think she's coming too. Party!
