..........I was about to give a little recap of our year, but I am having a hard time remembering very many noteworthy things....2009 was full of some ups... some downs... and a whole lot of busy.
School, homework, work, and photography...these are the things that we have been most busy with. Joel is about to start his LAST semester of school...as you can imagine we are both very very excited. He worked so hard last semester and it paid off with straight A's.
When I wasn't working at my day job I was busy with photography. This year has been an interesting one trying to figure out the workings of a small(tiny) business. Making mistakes, trying to define my "style", and figuring out what direction to take things.
One thing I'll always remember about 2009 is that this is the year I realized I am getting old. Among other things, this was brought on by LOTS of grey hairs, combating my Thyroiditis, and realizing that exercise really is a necessity if I want to be healthy (umm why didn't yall clue me in on this??? ;) ). I miss my younger, problem free body, but am coming to terms with me "now".
To be honest I haven't missed 2009, 2010 is looking much better already. Bring it on.
This year I plan on...
taking better care of my body
not letting my thyroiditis get the better of me
flossing every day...(am I the only one that hasn't already made this a strict daily habit?)
strengthening my testimony
being more grateful
trying to refrain from anger...this is an amazing talk
exercise more (I know I know...everyone says this but I'm really going to do it!)
being more open and honest, less afraid of people, and more comfortable in my own skin
We did have lots of fun in there somewhere between the busyness..... These are a few of our adventures that we didn't blog about.
We went on a fun hike with the smith family
actually joel wakeboarded and I enjoyed looking at the cold water from the boat
saw a baseball game and listened to some hillarious hecklers
went to lagoon with abby and steven
took our huge kite our for a spin(fly?)
Joel taught me how to hit a golf ball
we played at the park one sunny morning
and I'll end with this one because I just think it's funny. us at the fair. we went with Katie and Eric and had a splendid time

haha did I not take a better picture? I'm so mean. :)
no you totally did, I just thought this one was funny :).
this is a nice entry. I enjoyed it. It's good to get to know you better, and to reflect on how I want to better myself. It really was great be in the same room together for so much time during the break - and doing fun things too. We love you Joel and Kalli!
I SO agree with you... I really need to commit to flossing EVERY day. That was fun boating with you guys! Joel did a GREAT job wakeboarding, too!
