Trying to Get Pregnant
It couldn't have been ALL bad...
I've been so focused on the negative of this year. What is one good thing that happened this year?
And you have to have one and it can't be that it's ended 
Mine: I've added some wonderful new friends to my life, including some from GP

I took DH to the Kentucky Derby where we scored seats about 8 rows back from the finish line. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Went to see NKOTB with friends, had an absolute blast.
Took family vacations with both sides of our family--OBX with mine and Lakeside (on Lake Erie) with DH's.
Fabulous, relaxing Thanksgiving weekend at my aunt's beach cottage on Lake Michigan
I'm sure there's more. Fall was really rough for me, but the rest of the year wasn't too bad at all.
We went to Cancun, Disney & Las Vegas this year, it was so much fun!
ETA: And of course I made some great friends on GP this year xoxox!

Went to Disney with the whole fam
Everyone stayed healthy.
I like to remind myself, that despite conceiving not happening as quickly for me as it has for others, I have a lot in my life to be thankful for.
Best thing was that I got my puppy!
And....everything bad that happened this year turned out to be ok and for that I am so thankful.
I married my best friend! He has got to be one of the best people on the planet.
Other than that, the years was complete crap! LOL!

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I like this post.
We bought our first house and got pregnant.
My mother beat cancer and got married.
My brother married his girlfriend of 6 years, finally!
I guess mine would be the little trips we did throughout the year.. Portland to see my sister get married, Palm Springs for our 3 year anniversary, and the Russian River for 4th of July. I'm thankful for all of my wonderful friends.. including e-friends.

I mean I know you are happy and all but that is just ridiculous. I don't see any need to aw that you got pregnant when the rest of us are still here waiting and therefore is the whole point of this post. What good things happened to us since we DIDN'T get pregnant. Ugh.
DH and I are at our strongest together! IF has made our relationship like a rock! DS is healthy and looks like his athsma is all gone! DS has been getting straight A's!!
We took 2 vacatiosn to Disney and Vero Beach! (I'm a freak I know)
Spent the wholw summer at home
landed my new great job!
My grandma and my childhood friend both died this year so it was hard! But I got to go to grandmas funeral in Mexico alone with my dad. I was able to support my dad and give him things to laugh at! Made our relationship much stronger. I learned to appreciate life the way it is already!!
Mrs J, you read my mind.

For seriously, they will never, ever learn! Will they??
Umm no never will!
We moved back to CT on short notice, and I reconnected with wonderful old friends. Our chosen home fell through, but at the last minute, hubby and I found a beautiful house to rent with great vibes, and are considering buying it. We had a number of deaths this year in the family, but it brought us closer together for sure, in particular with my in-laws. I had to euthanize one of my horses - my most talented and younger one - but I had two amazing friends give me the opportunity to regularly ride their up-and-coming younger horses, since they don't have the time. They saw how devastated I was and reached out to me, and I feel so blessed for their sincere friendship and making sure that I kept riding, knowing that it was the one thing that would help me to deal with the loss. With the extra money each month that I would normally have spent on my younger horse, I moved my older guy to a nicer barn with every amenity that we could ask for, and wonderful people to boot.
Hubby was out to sea for 6 months, but when he came back we were closer than ever, and we learned so much about each other during his absence. He saw some interesting places around the world, and I'm so happy for him because I've been able to travel a lot in my life, and he has always wanted to, but never had the opportunity. And we decided to try for a baby! That was perhaps the most exciting thing.
I really hope 2010 is the start of our family. But you know what? Even if crap does happen, everything that happened in 2009 that was "terrible" somehow ended up to be a great opportunity and a new blessing in disguise, so I have no doubt that the same will happen with 2010. I don't wish for it to be rocky, but if there are bumps, I'm not worried.
Happy New Year!!
Bought our first home!
Found GP and made GP friends
Closest to my DH than ever (just celebrated 3 yrs.) and we decided to TTC
Passed my Oral Exams (I know that sounds dirty but its part of my PhD.) LOL
I married my best friend- twice.
(Legal ceremony and beautiful beach wedding).
I've had a lot of time to finally get healthy. I got rid of a horrible job that made me sick in all ways possible.
We got annual passes to Disney and have been 8 or 9 times, including special events. Mr Techie and I discovered a real love for the magic that we feel there and are super excited that we share that.
I got to go to Cassadaga, FL with my mom and aunt and had my first psychic reading. (It was awesome!)
DH and I visited Texas, Vegas & Disney this year.
Purchase our first home together, and 3 total home for each of us!! (and sold DH house, a mini feat in this economy)
Had each holiday with family in our new home:)
EACH of us still has a job and in this economy that is definitely a blessing;)
Decided to start TTC, which has been a journey, but looking forward to that BFP in 2010 & a trip with 3 other couples to Puerto Vallarta in April....
Happy NY GP!!
