2009-Year End Review

As I thought about this new decade beginning I was reminded of the fact that the last decade marked my first 10 years of living in Minnesota...sweet memories:)

So here it is the 2009 year in Review!

Alex turns 30, we take a trip to FL, my in-laws celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary, and we sign the paperwork for the sale of our first flip:)

February

Alex heads out on the annual ski trip to Montana, we move back to Prior Lake, and celebrate Valentine's Day with our annual heart shaped pizza!

March

Try to acclimate back to having a commute and living down south, begin attending south campus church exclusively, and decide now is the time to start a family.

Attend and manage the lunch at our church's Women's Conference, begin sorting through our storage area, and become neat freaks as our house is on the market.
