I just wanted to take the time to be a little nostalgic as this year comes to a close and I look back over the last twelve months. Ha! Who am I kidding, 2009 sucked. I am very much looking forward to 2010. I would like to bring you all through the journey of my last twelve months.

January: Dating a drug addict, awesome. Earnest starts to like me. Anastasia and I decide to start this blog!!

February: Sleep with my marine friend who acts like a 12-yr-old girl. Decide to join the Navy as an officer.

March: Applying to the Navy. Things with Earnest really heat up.

April: Finish applying to the Navy, the process takes a long time. Still trying to get rid of Earnest.

May: Decide against the commitment of the Navy. Decide to go celibate for six months. Hit up Vegas with my roommates from college for a smashing good time.

June: Best friend gets married – make horrible decisions. Few dates with hot New Zealander.

July: Anastasia and I are too busy being crazy during the summer months to write anything.

August: I go to Wisconsin to visit old friends – oh wait, I haven’t written about that yet – yeah that was a good time, look forward to that story soon!

September: Disaster with New Zealander strikes.

October: Still celibate and not by choice.

November: Travel to Bali on a yoga retreat! It was my birthday present to myself. Oh and along the way I seemed to have sort of married my yoga teacher? Strange.

December: Christmas in Wisconsin and Minnesota, attended a killer Green Bay Packer game, and ended this year quite nicely.

All in all this year was not as bad as 2008, but I have a feeling that 2010 is going to be phenomenal. Especially since I get to visit Anastasia in two weeks! Oh the ruckus we will cause.
