Recap...

Looking back at the past year seems kind of unreal, I can't believe how fast it went by and how many things happened! It was a very busy year for us and we couldn't have been more blessed or taken care of! Here are a few highlights of all the adventures the Mills had this past year...

Probably one of the biggest changes we had this past year was Josh's job opportunity with Costco! Yes he worked around 60-70 hours each week between his two jobs but he really did love working there for the past 9 months and we were blessed to have Costco! But if you didn't already know As of Dec. 30th 2009 Josh is now back to only one Job. So excited that I will be able to see my husband more in 2010!

On a sad note our huge Maple tree had a pretty bad wound in a wind storm earlier this year... Luckily the poor little guy has survived and will hopefully come back bigger and more beautiful next year!!!

RUN RUN RUN: I was able to train and race in the 2009 Ragnar Relay Race with my friends and Co-Workers! It was hard work and so worth it! I am hoping to be able to train in time to race next years as well... Keep your fingers crossed for me :)

Summer Trips- We were able to find some time between work and more work to go on a couple of trips. What is a summer without wakeboarding...? Jordanelle was a great time with the Mills and a lot of fun memories were shared and created!

Our next trip we were able to take was a road trip back to Josh's Mission Kennewick WA. It was something we have wanted to do since we were first dating! I was able to meet so many amazing people, and they all loved Josh so much! He is such an example to me everyday and I am so lucky to have married such a great man!!!

A side note - The only bad part about that trip was Washington was having Record High Heat!!! It was around 100 degrees with 100% humidity, O ya and I was in the first four to five weeks of being prego, not a fun combo!

Here we are in Front of Pastini - Portland OR

Another fun thing we were able to... experience was the Stadium of Fire - Jonas Brothers Concert! So funny! We had a great time enjoying a few of the songs, and an even better time watching all the crazy fans! Never thought I would ever go to a Jonas Brothers Concert but O well you only live once!

Another fun year with the Boys! This is Cooper, You couldn't ask for a nicer more lovable puppy, but Not a fan of the camera...

And this is my Little Man Rusty (aka Russell) He is a true Camera Show Off! I love these two Wiener Dogs! They are always so happy to see us and make life so much more interesting!

(In the Summer you will always find that Red Ball with Rusty, he doesn't ever put it down)

We were able to have our 2nd Annual Boo Bash! It was so much fun and such a great turn out! I can't wait for the 3rd Annual Boo Bash!

One thing I really enjoyed about 2009 was the amazing Fall colors that were all around! Fall is my favorite season by far, and what a great fall it was!

Another Trip I was able to go was Philly with My Mama! We have gone to Philly to Watch an Eagles game for the past 5 years. It is always so much fun! We were able to enjoy the fall season back east, enjoy lots of tasty foods, and we even were able to go to a Flyers Hockey game this year! What a blast! My Mom is so much fun to be with and is such a great friend to me! I couldn't ask for a better mom for me!

Favorite Holiday by far - Halloween

I was pretty proud of the Halloween costume I made all by myself

And of Course the biggest News of 2009 - Baby On Board

Is pregnancy fun? Nope it sure isn't, you are Moody, you get Zits, you have to pee every 5 minutes, you get leg cramps in the middle of the night, you get fat and swollen, you get sick and you don't even feel better after you have thrown up, your body temp raises about 15 degrees, and you just don't feel like you!

But when you feel that baby kick you for the first time and you see how cute your husband is when he talks to your little baby it makes it all worth it!

We are so excited for 2010 and all the fun Adventures that are going to come with it!

So this year I have decided to make a few goals for myself
