Ringing in 2010

Happy New Year!

In recognition of all the "Best of..." lists that saturate us this time of year, Erin and I sat down last night and came up with a few lists of our own. First, a joint list of what we loved to remember from 2009. Then, each of us tried to come up with some of the best things that have happened to us in the past decade (if you haven't tried that yet, I would highly recommend it!).
