While I can hardly believe that 2010 is just 31 hours away, I have to say that if it is anything like 2009, I will gladly welcome it with open arms. Below are my favorite pictures and memories of 2009.
JANUARY 2009
January started off with a bang when Miss
Lynne (far left) visited LA and we hit up Pink Taco, Red Rock and Coco de Ville. Such a fun night!
FEBRUARY 2009
February had me celebrating my last year of my 20's...the big 2-9 with lots of friends and good times!
It also had my close girlfriend
Erin tying the knot in Maui with an incredible group of WSU alum!
MARCH 2009 
March had a group of us girls heading up north to Santa Barbara for Jaime's bachelorette party.
APRIL 2009
Had me heading down to Puerto Vallarta for Mrs. F's nuptials (2nd in from left).
And serving as a bridesmaid, whilst enjoying the bar swings at our resort with Kim!
MAY 2009
Had me traveling over to Miami with Mrs. F and Mrs. R for a weekend I will NEVER forget :)
Including but not limited to: hot, late nights at the Delano :)
JUNE 2009
Had us girls heading east to Palm Springs and experiencing the Riveria Hotel and all its glory!
It also had me bidding adieu to one of my favorite girls Mrs. S as her and the hubby trekked to Hoboken.
JULY 2009
July brought sunny skies on the 4th of July in Venice.
Had me experiencing Coldplay in Irvine with
Avery and Mrs. R (#1 Fan). Such an experience!!
July also was hard, as I had to part ways with my bestie Mrs. R as she and hubby packed and left for DC :(
AUGUST 2009
Had my GF Kim visiting from Seattle, where we spent a day day drinking and pub crawling in Venice. So much fun!!
Had us attending the Del Mar Races (I won $166 bucks!) and sampling some micro-brews at a beer festival.
A night out in San Diego was definitely in order after the races.
Lastly, it had me attending a beautiful and touching wedding of Ari & Ronit in LA.
SEPTEMBER 2009
Labor Day weekend brought lounging by the pool with our doctored up Vitamin Waters.
Felicity's bachelorette party in Santa Monica was a major hit.
The night included new friends, lots or memories and even more laughs.
OCTOBER 2009
Had me attending Mrs. C's wedding at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes and drooling over her incredible wedding gown.
I celebrated the blessed union with two phenomenal women and took in the breathtaking view.
Lastly, October brought me reunited with my bestie Mrs. R in her new home of DC. An amazing weekend!
NOVEMBER 2009
Had my girl Christy hosting a Thanksgiving for the books.
I also finally got to feel that beautiful baby bump that belongs to Mrs. S.
DECEMBER 2009
Had me reunited with my sorority sisters (and dressed in grey to match - totally unplanned!)
And of course most recently, enjoying the company of 20 fantastic friends who reminded me why it is so important to surround yourself with stellar people.
I feel blessed to be able to experienced so many great things this past year and I think 2010 can only look up! Cheers to all of you and your memories of 2009!
I have placed Charlaine Harris' Dead Until Dark back on my bookshelf. I have been trying so hard to get into this book and I just cannot. Call me a quitter, or maybe I'm tainted from watching True Blood (which I LOVE) but I lack any enthusiasm for reading this novel. I am not completely giving up....just taking some time apart. Maybe I will try reading it again this summer.
