What better way to end the year than to look back on what happened in 2009?  As you can tell from the blog title, I’m breaking up the year into quarters.  May not be interesting to anyone other than me, but it IS my blog, after all. :o)

The beginning of the year started out with a little project I had read about called Project 365, taken with the new pink point & shoot camera I had received from my parents for Christmas. A picture a day for a year… at first I was just taking pictures of any old thing, and poorly done too:

Some mailboxes. Blegh.

(I’d show more pics but they really do suck).

But then after around February, I started to try to spice things up:

Look familiar?  This is the icon for my blog. :)

What else happened?  Lol, it’s hard to look back… I didn’t have a blog back then.  I do remember I was working a lot – I taught Kindergarten from 7:30am – 4:00pm and then did after school care from 4:00pm – 6:00pm.  And then, about 12 hours a week, I was working a second job at a retail store (which I was miserable at, and no good at either).

February was my birthday, I turned 27.

Drinks with friends…

It was a fantastic day.  The day after my birthday I ran into some people that I never hoped to see again, firming my resolve to leave San Antonio.  And that same day I rejoined twitter (and I’ve made so many friends through it that I’m glad I did).

Oh yeah, and in March, over spring break, I went to a little place called Australia…

The view from my parent’s apartment.

The beach… ahhh.

Hamilton Island, the view from our hotel.

So beautiful.

I loved it.

I got back from Australia and realized the stress of the retail job wasn’t worth the very little extra money.  I turned in my two weeks notice.

And that’s the first quarter of the year.  Stay tuned for the rest…
