Top 5 for 2009

My friend, Rebecca, tagged me for a fun post about my top five favorite things in 2009.

This was really hard for me because I’m a gal who finds inexpressible joy in the most everyday things.  Plus, I take LOADS of pictures, so narrowing them down to five was really an injustice to the rest of them.

Forgive me if my favorite five are not what you might have predicted if you read my blog all last year.

I think I’ll start with Chicky’s high school season last year.  Watching the way that team grew and bonded ever so closely from the beginning to the end of the season.  Well, it just put a huge smile on my face and made watching the season end a bit sad…

I didn’t work last summer, so I had plenty of time to spend outside working in my yard.  I carefully watered and weeded my flower gardens and was extremely pleased with the way my sunflowers grew and grew and grew…

The next picture takes me back to the couple of months I spent working at the Attendance Desk with Ms. Donna.  From Day 1, the staff made me feel like a permanent part of the family.  The principal’s secretary asked me to try on the bracelet in the picture…just to see how it looked as she was planning on gifting it to her mom (if I remember correctly).  Upon seeing how it looked on me, she said it was mine.  Plain and simple.  This was the first week I started working there.  I felt loved by people who hadn’t even had a chance to get to know me all that well…

The next picture was either the first or second football game of the new school year.  Rooster joined the band, and he’s playing on the Drum Line.  He looks incredibly handsome in his uniform.  Ahhhh…

And who could forget Chicky’s prom last Spring?  Oy, but the girl looked GORGEOUS!

Now, this is where I get to tag five people to spill the beans about their own Top 5’s.
