[This is part of my year in review series.  For January - March, please click here.]

So April started out with me saying goodbye to my retail job.  It was quite a relief to not have to work SO many jobs and SO many hours a week.  The month also started with me earning a bit of money, and because of the nature of how I *got* that money, it meant I got to buy my first ever purchase at my new favorite store:

I’ve never loved a box so much before.

At the end of the month… I started this blog.  I didn’t know what it was going to be for and if anyone would read it, but I made the leap anyway.  And, thanks to the very generous help of my new favorite person Matt, my blog became what it is today.. and I was able to go self-hosted in May.

May also marked the beginning of my excursions around San Antonio to take pictures on my own.  I got to visit all sorts of places:

The Japanese Tea Gardens.

One of the old Missions in San Antonio.

The Riverwalk opening a new section called Museum Reach.

Then came June. First of all I have to share a picture that I’m proud of:

It took me AGES to get this shot!

But… even better than that… I got to see Coldplay in Concert:

One of the best memories of 2009, by far.

Other things that happened in June:  I started trying to get healthier, by cutting out sodas and going jogging outdoors.  I made trips to the McNay Art Museum, the Tower of the Americas, the Botanical Gardens and the San Antonio Zoo. AND… I got to see Wicked (best.thing.ever.).

It was a busy month because it was also my last month in San Antonio.  I moved back to home to live with the parents for a year.   The second half of 2009 was a complete change from the first half.

Stay tuned for part 3.
