I wish I would of done this before the new year but oh well, no turning back. Here are the top 9 things that happened to me in 2009. These are really going in no particular order they were all fun and important to me.
9- Ella started Kindergarten. She was anticipating this for several years now and luckily it is all that it is cracked up to be.
8- Tyler earned his wolf badge. This took some last minute cramming but he got it done.
7- Natalie and Nichole started Young Women's. Although I find Y/W funner then they do. I love having them in there with me.
6- Sang in Messiah. I enjoy singing and I am not the best singer but it was fun to meet together with a group and sing once a week.
5- New Moon. Now this isn't New Moon itself it is all of the fun that I had leading up to New Moon. Hanging out with JoMama and staying up so late.
4- Broken Leg. Well this one I didn't enjoy as a matter of fact this would go on one of my all time worst experiences. But as everyone knows when you have a bad experience like that you learn from it and grow. Heavenly Father taught me some valuable life lessons that will stay with me forever. I just wish I didn't have to break my leg to learn them.
3- Seeing old friends and making new ones. I was able to go on many fun trips this year. I went to Georgia to see Lesley (who I hadn't see since my last trip over a year before this one), I went to Colorado to see my brother and Trisha (who I hadn't seen since the winter after I moved from Arizona), I went to Bend to see Tessa and my new niece Olivia. I went to Utah and was able to see Carolyn (who I hadn't seen since Christmas time) and Mindy (who I hadn't seen since she moved to Korea the previous year). It was great to see all of my friends that has been placed all over the world. (and to answer your question JoLynn I one day I will make it out to Alaska to see if you got that package for me. Plus bonus Mindy lives there too!)I also got to make new ones this year. Heavenly Father has blessed me with some amazing girlfriends. I am so lucky in that and so thankful for that.
2. The first annual girls weekend. My mom and sis came to Boise to spend some quality time with me and did some great Christmas shopping done.
1. The many temples I got to go to this year. I was to see many temples this year although I didn't always get to go inside of them. And some of them I just haven't been to in a long, long time. I got to go to the Atlanta, Georgia temple, I got to see the Denver, Colorado temple (it was closed when I went), I got to go to the Salt Lake City Temple- twice. Once with the Young Women and once with my husband and his parents and as luck would go it was closed when we went. I got to go to the Provo temple which I haven't been to since I was in Young Women's myself. It was also the temple that I was sealed to my parents in. I got to go to the Timpanogas, Utah temple (which I haven't been to since my friend Carolyn got married) and witness the sealing of my brother and my wonderful sister in law. I also got to go to the Boise temple. I know I go there all of the time but, I don't get to go there to see my girls perform Baptisms for the dead there all of the time and it was their first time going.
So those were my top memories of 2009. I challenge each of you to think back on your blessing of the year and blog about 9 of them.
