looking back but moving forward…
2009 was filled with lots of good memories…
January: We went to the Winter Park Farmers Market, took some “surprise” pictures for my Mom and enjoyed the cooler weather.


February: Jamie and I traveled traveled to St. Augustine to celebrate my Mom’s 50th birthday in style with the help of my brother and sister-in-law.


March: We went canoeing, spent lots of time with Piper outside and in the water and traveled to Chicago to vist our dear friends Aimee and Marc where we ate good food, visited the “bean”, and relished in the joy of good company.


April: We colored eggs, always had fresh flowers in the house, enjoyed time in the hammock, hosted our annual Shrimp Boil and celebrated Pipers 2nd Birthday…


May: We traveled to California, celebrated Kenny’s graduation, and found out that we were expecting!!


June: I finished my last year of teaching, said goodbye to dear school friends and we shared the exciting news with our families.


July: We (I) rested a lot (first tri-mester sleepy style), baked a whole bunch and spent a ton of time pool side!


August: We swam some more, went through old photo albums, organized and cleaned out our once spare rooms in preparation for the baby.


September: We announced officially that we were having a boy, started setting things up in his room, and continued to document the progress of my ever growing bump.


October: We celebrated Jamie’s birthday, said goodbye to my feet, hosted a pumpkin carving party and took a two week road trip that included stops in Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Raleigh and Charleston.


November: We counted our blessings and all that we are thankful for with a large group of Jamie’s family, continued with our baby preparations and I baked some more.


December: We visited friends in Tallahassee, celebrated a very special little boys first birthday, decorated the house for the holidays, attended a shower thrown in our little guys honor and celebrated the holidays with family and friends.


I love to look back and see just how blessed we have been throughout the past year but I am also really looking forward to all that 2010 is going to bring. Hope your 2009 was as wonderful as ours…
