Goodbye 2009.

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

**I totally snagged this from Jenn, I hope she doesn’t mind!**
1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before? Started planning my wedding. Other than that, 2009 has been a relatively unexciting year. I didn’t move, or change jobs, or go on any awesome vacations. Sadface.
2. Did you keep your new year’s [...]

4th of July and a look back

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

This has got to be the most uneventful Fourth of July weekend I’ve ever had. I skipped the fireworks yesterday. No BBQ plans today or tomorrow. Sadness.
Probably the best Fourth of July for me was in 2005. A whole group of friends and I walked all over downtown Pittsburgh, from the Southside all the way [...]

Looking Back: Making my own move

Friday, June 26th, 2009

I am really excited to participate in the 20SB Looking Back Blog Carnival for several reasons: not only is this my first time participating in the blog carnival,  but I’m at another crossroads in my life so it’s interesting to look back and see how I ended up here in the first place. AND I [...]
