I attended the formation of PEO chapter NJ on the 7th

plus the weekend of Thanksgiving I was up in time to watch a beautiful sunrise.

December:

Prince Charming got to experience Ft. Worth with us the 11th – 14th.
And for the first time, I think in 7 years we had a white Christmas (although the snow is still sticking around…)

Also, this year brought about many photoshoots with Evelyn, Josh, Prince Charming & Tbug

in June mom, Cynthia and I went to Tulsa to see Wicked and then mom and I went to Tulsa in November to see Dracula.

This year had its shares of ups and downs, I only chose to highlight the ups. Bring on 2010. I’m ready 🙂

And my year ended with my midnight kiss to start 2010
