Oh well hey 2010!!

Boy, time sure does fly by when you are getting older... its just a fact! Im officially 22, and love it!
so since the start of 2010, I had to contemplate 2009.
All in all, 2009 was one of the better years for me. As every year has ups, and downs, there were lots of fun, wonderful memories made in this year that i know i will never forget!
Lots of firsts for me, and lots of lasts :')
I'm really really anxious and eager to find out what 2010 has in store for me, because if its anything like last year it should be a wonderful year. So here is hoping!!!
It sure started out fun though, went to a New Years Eve "get together" with some long-time friends and had a blast!!
Then the following..(well later that day) my roomie and her best friend( my friend as well) decided to come up from AZ for my b-day!! I'm sooo happy that she did. it was the best present, and i love the fact that she was willing to drive like 8 hours for just the weekend! She is awesome!
Then i got together with A LOT of high school buddies, some i had not seen in a very long time! Had dinner at PF Changs( so yummy!) I got very lovely presents (eventhough, i really didn't need anything, just their presence would have made me happy!!)
They all proceeded in a "share your favorite memory of maryann" conversation, which brought up some great memories...and i sure laughed A LOT and enjoyed them very much!!!
I got a diary book, which i am starting to write in!! so i probably wont be posting too much on this page a lot longer.
i got a great picture album that my cousin made! so awesome!!! ive always wanted one, and it was full of pictures! put my college life in a little nutshell... i loved it!! and an abstract painting as well!!
Got a gift card to Sephora!!! Im a total girl and LOVE to shop for all kinds of girly stuff! hehe!
My roomie also made me a picture collage of all my friends. LOVED it! i got a little teary eyed when she gave it to me, it was a nice summation of the past 2 years and all the pictures were my friends that she knows i missed/going to miss because they wouldn't be with me this last semester :')

I really do enjoy the simpler things in life, like pictures. I dont have a camera, so i dont have very many of my own. But having these particular pictures meant the world to me :) I have such great family and friends, and even though we may part ways temporarly, i know that we wont be letting go of our friendships anytime soon! :)
