Happy New Year! Happy New Decade!

Another year come and gone… another decade.

For me, 2009 was like a re-awakening period. My eyes were opened, ideas sprouted and new ventures began.

But it’s always fun to sit back and reflect on the past year’s highs and lows… and with the help of some Facebook applications, I created a Year in Photos:

… and a year in Status:


Looking back, my status’s on Facebook and Twitter were cool… but imagine how cooler it would be if they looked like this?

Thanksgiving dinner for 16 seated comfortably in the dining room of my new house, decorated by Sarah Richardson, is divine.

Rocked with Alexisonfire and Billy Talent at a local private party where they each performed a set and I sang “Saint Veronika” and “The Northern” with Ben and Dallas.

Like every year, spending Christmas with my family and it is insane but wonderful as always.

Ahhhh, a girl can dream!

For me, the past decade was about getting married, buying a house and having kids.

Can’t wait to see what the next ten year brings.

Cheers!
