Looks like it was a positive year... it seems like a lot of bad things happened in 2009, but looking back, it really wasn't so bad at all. There are lots of little joys, too, such as going to midnight shows of movies (Harry Potter, New Moon), and attending our first NFL game (Mariners vs. Lions). Well, here's to 2009 and an even better 2010. :)
