2009: A Year in Review

This post may be more for me than for you. (I’m pretty sure a blogger is not supposed to say that.) But hey, that doesn’t mean to stop reading. :)

In 2009… I turned 21. I came down with mono, and was pretty much incapacitated for an entire month while Dylan took care of me. SU beat UConn 127-117 in six overtimes (just had to have that in here!). I celebrated my one year anniversary with Dylan. I worked my last summer at Price Chopper (hallelujah!). I started my business. I started my senior year in college. I got engaged.

In 2010… I will read more. I will get abs of steel. I will begin my last semester EVER. I will turn 22. I will never get mono again. I will finish up my senior portfolio. I will graduate. I will shoot more weddings in a month’s time than I ever thought possible. I will become Dylan’s wife. I will ride a plane for the first time in my whole life (I know, not many people ever believe it!). My little brother will graduate high school. I will move away from home. I WILL get a puppy dog. And perhaps, I’ll actually feel like an adult.

As I write this, laying on the couch, covered by the blanket I’ve had since I was 9 years old, I’m not sure I fully realize all the changes that 2010 will bring. I’ve never been good with change. If you’re one of my close friends, you’ll already know this about me. But this I am sure of: God has had this whole new season of my life planned since the very foundations of the world. And I’m so excited to enter into it! Come on, 2010. Bring. It. On.

I leave you with the fun that awaits me tonight, as I share a quiet New Year’s Eve with Dylan!! Happy Thursday, and Happy New Year!!
