Twenty ten

by E.P. on January 4, 2010

It feels weird to say and even stranger to write. (Also? I will be writing the wrong year on checks for the next two months…)

2009 was a pretty good year, on my end.

I met 25 friends in Vegas.
My boy popped the question, and I said yes.
I quit my job and then moved to a new city shortly after.

And so, so much more.

This past year was a year of change for me, and I know 2010 will hold even more surprises. Finally, I am moving in a direction I want to go, and I look forward to everything this new year has to offer.

It has already been good and relaxing. I rang in the new year with my boy and his family at their Louisiana home, watched a LOT of football (and no, I don’t want to talk about LSU’s game. It was THAT awful), spent quality time with my future in-laws and my family. It has been amazing, minus the horrific football game on New Year’s Day.

I am now back in Nashville for the next few weeks, at least, and am snuggling with the Lucy pup on the couch. I have a lot of things to check off my to-do list, but I couldn’t be happier.

How has your new year been so far?

this coming May to ANY blogger.

I hope 2010 is a good year for you!

steph anne January 6, 2010 at 10:19 pm: I feel the same way it's so weird writing 2010 or seeing it on papers. I feel like we're in the future but without flying cars! Here's to a great 2010 and hopefully flying cars soon!
E.P. January 12, 2010 at 9:44 am: Agreed! It's so hard to believe it is ACTUALLY 2010. I remember Y2K like it
was yesterday. Gah. Now I feel old…

Happy new year! I hope it's an amazing one for us both!
E.P. January 12, 2010 at 5:44 pm: Agreed! It's so hard to believe it is ACTUALLY 2010. I remember Y2K like it
