2009... "did I hear a niner in there?"

Megan, Rachel, and I were the sexiest bridesmaids Lauren could have ever hired asked for. We had a great time with all the wedding festivities and are now hassling Adam (Rachel's BF) to step up to the plate so we can start planning girls weekend/bachelorette party/shower/OMG Rachel's getting married weekend!
You're welcome Rach.

Heather & me after completing the Illini Half Marathon Easter weekend. We both posted our PR's at this race!

Three weeks after the Illini race, I finished the Indy Half Marathon.

Took a trip out to DC over Memorial Day weekend to visit Ben.

Ben and I headed out to San Francisco and Sonoma Valley for my birthday. This trip ranked a close second behind our honeymoon. Needless to say, we had an amazing time.

This year Kelly hosted Estrofest in Des Moines, IA. I know what you're thinking, they have beaches in Iowa? We laughed too much, drank too much (except for Debo who dropped the preggo bomb on us!) and one of us ended up with a tattoo... FANTASTIC weekend!

We sold my 15 year old Honda and I got my first real adult car, with car payment and all!

Ben ramped up his competitive spirit this year and completed four triathlons. He has improved drastically from last year, even placing first in his age group at one race.

Paul bought his own place this year, so we invited ourselves down for Labor day weekend. We had a blast celebrating Ben's birthday with a little rap concert action, golf, cake, shopping and Dave & Busters.

We hosted the second annual Christmas Shindig which consisted of the girls baking until we either got sick on cookie dough or drank so much wine we couldn't read the recipe. The guys beat Tiger Woods on the Wii and drank so much beer they couldn't swing straight.

2009 was a fantastic year for us. Each year holds more adventures than ever anticipated. We toast to 2010 and whatever it brings our way!
