2009 in review


Can you believe 2009 is over? It flew by, and brought a lot of changes to our family.


Here is our year in review:

JANUARY

We matched to Case and found out we were moving to Cleveland

We got bed bugs in our apartment

{Yeah, never mentioned that one since we didn't want anyone to be paranoid about getting them too. Worst experience of our lives. Seriously. The worst. Sorry Spragues.}


FEBRUARY


Discovered we didn't completely eradicated said bed bugs {Luckily this time we got rid of the little buggers}

Megs was released after 3 years of being Relief Society Pres, WAHOO!

{Again, sorry Laura}


MARCH

Found out I was preggers

Grandpa Hallstrom passed away

Mckinlay and I joined the Hallstrom family in Hawaii for the funeral and family fun

Ty stayed home and studied his guts out for the boards



APRIL
Bought a house

MAY

I finally stopped barfing {morning sickness my foot, try 24/7 sickness!}

Learned to dance like WALL-E {"da da da da da da da da da da dah!"}

Took a trip "down the Cape"

Tried to squeeze in every possible outing with Boston friends

LOTS of packing




JUNE

Ty became Dr. Tyman Loveless, DMD

Found out baby #2 is a girl

Left Boston {we're still crying about that} and moved to Cleveland {crying about that too}

Enjoyed lots of moving help and a visit from Mom and Dad Loveless

Laid the Carolla to rest and bought a new car

Ty took the Medical Boards



JULY
Ty crazy busy at work


Painted bodies and mustaches

Went swimming every day that the sun was out {both of them} and eat ice cream {with "sprinklers"} or ICEEs on the way home


AUGUST

Celebrated 5 years of wedding bliss



SEPTEMBEREnjoyed a visit from the McFamily

Megs turned 27

Discovered leaks and got a new roof



OCTOBER

Discovered more leaks and got a new bathroom Enjoyed Cleveland Fall


Went "trick-or-treaty" with the cutest ladybug ever

NOVEMBER



DECEMBER

Enjoyed our first Christmas as a family of 4 in our very own home and celebrated with Happy, Papa, and the McBrennans

Oh, and someone got a new hair style! This just happened this morning while I was in the shower. Guess she had to hurry and do it so it could make the highlight list for 2009.

{And yes. I cried. Then I laughed.}

It's been a great year. We're excited for what 2010 will bring...
like, I dunno, a new short hair cute for my daughter!?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

sidenote - does anyone else have problems with the spacing in their posts? it is fine while i'm typing the post, but when i publish the spacing comes out all wonky. is it a blogger thing? or am i doing something funky?

  2. Eliza looks so sweet in that picture. And chunky bangs are totally in right now, so McKinlay will be stylin'. You guys had a grand 2009; it's pretty crazy how many things you can pack in to one tiny little year, eh? I learned so many fun things about you in this post! Thanks for sharing.
    Oh, and yes, it is blogger that makes the spacing funny. Usually when it happens to me, if I go back in and 'edit' the spacing, it will come out right the 2nd time. Annoying, but true. Good luck :)

  3. Happy New Year to you and especially that cute girl of yours sporting a mullet. Nice. :)

  4. I also suffer from wonky spacing. Also, whenever I leave a comment I have to submit it twice (no retyping, just hitting the button). But, Happy New Year, Great 2009! I like the idea of a re-cap, but like most recent years it would just be me visiting various ERs . . . And don't fear the chop! McKinlay's obviously not . . .

  8. Hi Megan,
    This is Tara Huish. I'm Annie (Packard) Lewis good friend/neighbor from AZ. Anyway, I can't remember if we ever got in touch, but we're in Cleveland too. It looks like you guys got all settled! So many things I could comment on. I'll just say ADORABLE to all of it:) Anyway, I'm wondering where you are living. Are we close? It'd be fun to get together sometime. Annie and Allison have SUCH good things to say about you. E-mail me and I can invite you to my blog too if you want:)

    Have a great new year!
