2009

2009 Highlights

2009 was absolutely amazing- I can't wait to see what 2010 has to bring!

My word for 2009 was "STRETCH" and I feel that it fit very well!

Cute, huh?!

Last week I got together with Miss Tiffany to make cookies, hang-out, and catch up!

It was so fun- thanks for everything Tiff!

I could not resist taking this picture that is in their driveway.

My Lucky Dad

A few years ago I found this advertisement for an investment firm that had 3 sisters and the following text:

"Three car payments.

Three college tuitions.
Three weddings.

I think I'm having chest pains

How are we going to pay for all this?

Invest?

Invest in what?

The market is more unpredictable than our daughters."

I put it on a picture 4 years ago for my dad and he loved it! A few months ago my dad mentioned that he wanted an updated picture- so that is what I gave him for Christmas!

Alpha Phi Christmas Party

This year some Alpha Phi Alumni hosted a Christmas Sweater Party! They made the cutest sweater invites and everything! I made the delicious mint cookies for my dessert!

Jacie and me!

Alumni and actives!

My gift from the gift exchange-- how cute is this?!
It will look great in my new place!

I realized how much I love Alpha Phi- I am so glad that there are so many Alpha Phi girls in the Salt Lake area!

Christmas Morning!

My family agrees- this was one of the best Christmas' ever! All the gifts we gave each other were gifts people really wanted or really thought through!
