In the year 2009, I:
- enjoyed three weddings (one of which was my brother's)
- ran three miles along the cliffs twice or thrice a week
- visited family in the Midwest and on the East Coast
- stayed gluten-free and stopped taking antibiotics
- celebrated the first birthday of my only niece, Lila
- enjoyed my sister's company four times over the course of three months
- hoped for the safety of all our troops abroad (including my brother-in-law this summer and my cousin right now)
- loved one brother's wedding (John) and congratulated the other (David) on his first anniversary
- celebrated Jesse's/my sixth wedding anniversary
- enjoyed two backpacking trips with Jesse (one to a place we'd never been before!)
- prayed for everyone's health (especially Grandmother and Granddad - they had a tough year)
- walked 50 miles in three days after raising about $3,000 toward a world free of MS. I also gave a speech and led the candle ceremony.
- experienced three blackened toenails but didn't lose any (though Jana lost one - yuck!)
- made acquaintances into friends, friends into great friends, long-time friends into fresh friends, both at work and at play
- made a video about Mom
- moved a household, two cats and a tree halfway across the country and sadly said "see you later" to many friends
- changed jobs within the National MS Society (lucky me!)
- had my first Christmas alone without family (except Jesse of course)
... and started this blog and kept it up! Though I reserve the right to add to this post at anytime even if I eventually have to take "mini" out of the title.
