A year in review

This year has been a full year in so many ways!

We brought 2009 in with my besties from Wheaton!





















































Our trip to Louisana was not successful when we were slammed into on I55-S! God was good in protecting us from what could have been a very tragic accident. My sweet car that was majorly totaled took a hit for us...BMW's are the best. I miss that thing a lot.




















































I am a very strong believer in NOT texting or looking at ANYTHING ELSE while you drive! The girl that hit us was not paying attention, and really messed things up badly.

My first Charity Ball experience:























This picture is so funny!

























For Madison's spring break, we stopped in Birmingham to see/hear my orchestra from college and see some Wheaton friends on our way to Florida:















































































We were able to take a relaxing vacation at Madison's grandparents' beach house in Florida:
