Best New Year To You

Another Year Over: 2009 in Photographs

2009 was a pretty darn good year for me! Compared to the shit show that was 2008 I really don't have too much to complain about as this year comes to a close. I'm certainly looking forward to a new year as new years always bring new opportunities. I am being optimistic about 2010 and hope that I can accomplish some of the many things I've set out to do with my life. I don't really make resolutions, not specific ones anyway so I will only say that I want this year to be fulfilling many ways.

This week I have been reflecting on 2009 and all that it meant to me, Ryan and I became a couple as 2009 rolled in and we have had quite an amazing year together. I thought I would share my year in photos with you all. Obviously not all my photos 'cause that would be a loooooong post. But here are some highlights from 2009.

I am wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!

Blogging has made such a positive impact on my life and all of you are a part of that.

Black And White And So Hot

One of my absolute favorite color combinations and the theme of my birthday party in January!  Two classic colors that come together so beautifully I love them for clothing, accessories and home decor. They are also so versatile as you can throw in pops of color here and there to create an even more dramatic look.
