Among all these things, we had the opportunity to:

-See Jeff Dunham Live... hilarious!

-Enjoy our very first Christmas together!

-Get picked up by search and rescue on a private island

-Go to Orlando for our honeymoon 2.0 to enjoy magic kingdom, animal kingdom, and MGM

-Get a new 2009 Acura TL in white! Yay Thomas! Happy graduation!

-Get Guitar Hero World Tour

-Have dinner guests at our home two nights in a row! (samurai night first, then loaded fries and fritas night!)

-Plan a new years party for the very first time with some friends of ours!

and most importantly.... at this moment I am writing this blog... I am witness to a wonderful miracle. I had the wonderful opportunity to watch my grandma NANU defeat breast cancer! I've been at the hospital all night with her and she looks great! Praise God that she is doing so well.

And thus concludes this awesome eventful year... in a nutshell.

My resolutions (please hold me to them!):

1. To be an amazing wife!

2. To do something extraordinary for God

3. To get into nursing school

4. To make enough money working until nursing school to pay my health insurance for the next 3 years

5. Maintain my BMI and tone my muscles

Let's hope I stick to my guns and do a good job this year!
