I’ve loved reading “year in review” posts on all my favorite blogs. 2009 was not a year that I’ll look back on with tremendous fondness… it was a rough year for my family (divorce, death), and it was a rough year for many of my dear friends (finances). So I’m not exactly sad to say goodbye to 2009 and to welcome the arrival of 2010.

But as I look back, there were some great moments. I am so blessed to have such a precious family, such loving and supportive friends, and such a kind husband/best friend. I am very, very excited about 2010: I will be designing some of the most stunning, unusual, gorgeous weddings ever. My business will grow in some exciting ways, thanks to some rather thrilling opportunities that have come my way. All in all, 2010 is shaping up to be a grand year.

But I don’t want to forget the good parts of 2009, so I’ve put together 4 posts that chronicle the seasons of 2009 and some of my favorite memories.
