It's insane.  In three short months Hubs and I will have been married a year, already.  It feels like last week we were standing on the beach saying our "I do's".  We've definitely made some big decisions the last nine months.

We have had our fair share of ups and downs the past nine months.  We got married, duh.  We threw out the pill.  Our house was broken into a second time in our house.  We've made the decision to move out of the first house we bought together.  Both of our mothers found out I'm off the pill.  There have been small arguements.  There's definitely been crying.

Through everything, ups and down and the inbetweens, I know more then anything that he's the man I want to spend the rest of my life with (duh, I married him) and the man I want to have my children with (yeah, we already covered that I'm off the pill).  He's a great man and he works hard to support us and I appreciate everything he does.

December 14 Rush. When did you get your best rush of the year?

I'm going to have to say when we got married.  I was happy, nervous, scared, excited, thrilled, anxious and so many other emotions.  But it was a great rush and I was so happy!

December 9 Challenge. Something that really made you grow this year. That made you go to your edge and then some. What made it the best challenge of the year for you?

I guess I'll just go ahead and pick to obvious challenge I've had this year -- marriage. Even though to me it doesn’t particularly feel like a challenge, more like a blessing. I feel blessed that I’ve found someone who loves me and who wants to spend the rest of their life with me.

But it’s still a challenge. You have to make the relationship work. You have to communicate. When you fight, you still have to talk it out and resolve the problem. It’s always worth it though.

December 1 Trip. What was your best trip in 2009?

By far I would have to say the best trip of 2009 was going to La Jolla, CA with my fiance (at the time) and family to get married!  That's definitely something I'll never forget. <3
