top 10 of 2009

I think this is the post I look forward to the most each year. Ben and I sit and look back at all of the posts from the previous year and try to pick our favorites qnd most memorable. It is so hard to believe how quickly the year seems to go by, but then as I sit here reminiscing I think that happened this year, really?! that was so long ago. I hope you enjoy and wish you the best new year and new decade!
