1. Derek said 2009 was the year of projects. We had a huge tree taken out of our backyard, got a new roof, and buried the trampoline. We also painted a bedroom and bathroom downstairs for Braxton (thanks Hollie.)
2. Braxton had a big year - he turned 16, started driving and dating. This has also been a big thing for me as I have had a hard time letting go. It is slowly getting easier.
3. Got a new car. Finally, after 13 years of the Honda we moved onto something bigger.
4. Took a fun family vacation to Yellowstone Park and Jackson.
5. Derek ran a 5K and beat his previous time by 1 minute.
6. McKell turned 9, danced, spent a lot of time with friends, danced, got and survived the swine flu, and danced. Busy year for her.
7. Spent many holidays with my family: Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas
8. My dad survived a serious motorcycle accident and multiple injuries. We are so blessed that slowly he has made a full recovery. He and my mom also celebrated 40 years of marriage.
9. Last, I had 3 (Spring, Veteran's Day, and Christmas) successful music programs and wrote and got a grant funded for my classroom.
Overall, 2009, was a great year. I am looking forward to a busy, fun, and probably sometimes stressful 2010.

Wow you have had a fun eventful year! I still can't believe Braxton is dating and driving!
You had a great year! I can relate to the 16 driving and dating thing. I'm not sure I like it.
What a fun year!!! I still need to get you your watch face... Do you want me to send it?
I really want to come jump on your trampoline. It just looks like 10 times the fun with it in the ground! What a fun year. I'm glad your dad survived his horrific accident, I've been wondering how he was doing.
