goodbye year

i am not sad to say goodbye to 2009.

although it was a year of much happiness and excitement...

*getting married*

*traveling to europe* 

*graduating from university*

*moving into our gorgeous apartment together*

...it was also a year of stress and uncertainty...

*difficulties with my internship*

*having trouble finding a full time job*

*struggling with being way less busy than last year*

*feeling uncertain about the future of my professional life*

 *planning the wedding (which was only stressful sometimes!)*  

...and i am excited to let these things go,

which have been weighing me down this year,

and begin looking forward to a new and wonderful year which will include...

*our first full year of marriage*

*getting healthy and running a 10km race this year after some time off*

*focusing on my future and making myself feel happy and fulfilled*

*moving into a new apartment (and maybe a new city!)*

*(hopefully) starting a teaching program*

  *working on developing my hobbies and skills*

 *actually settling in somewhere for more than a year*

*new additions to our extended families (babies and new sisters... yay!)* 

...so, goodbye 2009...

here

bring on 2010!
