Blessings in the year 2009

As we begin the year of twenty ten or two thousand and ten I would like to reflect on the year 2009. I have been blessed to have a full time job, even though I have been around more then I can imagine, it is a job that I love (most days). The best thing that happened to me in this past year was that I got engaged. The weekend of April 24 Tyler asked me to marry him that is the best blessing that could have happened. I never considered myself the type of girl to like remodeling projects, but I have been blessed with one. For the past couple of months with the help of my family, and Tyler we have been giving the condo a major new look. It has been tons of work, a lot of Saturday afternoons, but as the first coat of paint (A HUGE THANKS TO SUE) went up in the kitchen and dinning room, I realized why I like it: I like to see a project from start to finish, to know that it was a lot of love that went into it. Even though there is still more painting to be completed, I can finally see the light at the end of tunnel and starting to get more and more excited!
Christmas came and went, it was a lot of fun. Sharing the time with my family and Tyler's family. It is awesome to know that next year me and Tyler will be our own family and celebrate together. The last week of December came in like a crash literally. For those of you who are reading this and have been in my life for a while will know that I have totaled two cars. While make that three now! I am blessed that I am here today cause the other car could have hit me in my door, but instead he hit me by the tire.
I have a feeling 2010 will be a good year. Getting married and seeing the final project finished of the condo. I know that the blessings will continue to flow into the new year!

Update

As the time gets closer to the wedding, I decided to do an update. I now have an example of the inventions and I love them, in a few months we are going to have a girls night and make them. I can't wait it will be a lot of fun. A few weeks ago me and my mom were playing around with Microsoft publisher and made a program, I am not sure if that is what I am going to use or not. I went to Michael's and got a few things to play around with for the table decorations, and I am so excited. The first idea failed, who knew that fake flower petals would sink! My second idea worked. I am going to use glass bowls, with the decorative stones or marbles or whatever you want to call them with a votive candle! The bowls will be sitting on a mirror with either more stones around the mirror or candles.

As with the condo, that has kinda become a stand still progress. Now that the wallpaper is gone, the walls need to become glue free and washed. That is where we are now. Hopefully we will got one more time in before Christmas, if I am lucky maybe twice, we will see if all the walls will be glue free and washed. I just have to keep telling myself that the final project will look amazing!

As January is around the corner, a lot of things still need to be done: tuxes, limo, dress alterations, picking out the food for dinner, flower girl dress and tux for the ring bearer, music, etc..........., not to mention that then it will be time to make the invites, programs, table decorations, name tags, and party favors plus everything in the condo. Oh well it is hard to believe that Christmas is only in about three weeks, and the wedding is only about five months away, it still is hard to believe that I will be getting married to the best man in the world! It seems like yesterday that he was jumping out of closets :).
