Now that 2009 is coming to a close, I thought I’d note down my top 10 highlights of the year.

1. I bought a 2nd hand DSLR so I can take better photos, especially on our holidays!
2. Our 1st Chinese New Year as a married couple, we handed out our first ang paus, and mind you, we had to give them in pairs!
3. I had 5 great holidays this year, the most memorable being Melbourne in January and Paris in March. I’ve always referred to Melbourne as our love city as that was where I fell in love with David. Paris being a love city as it is known to many was a great and memorable experience even though we were only there for 3 days!
4. David and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary in March. I am thankful to God for bringing us together and I’m blessed to be growing old, day by day with my soul mate and life partner.
5. In June, David quit his job to go full time with his own outfit Buzzmedia. Version 2.0 of his business went better than expected (although with road bumps in between) but with God’s blessing he is seeing the fruits of his labour growing.
6. In July I confirmed my pregnancy with a home test kit and the good news was heard by all at the end of September. We nicknamed our baby, Muffin!
7. In September I celebrated my 28th birthday as a mother-to-be. I couldn’t celebrate with any alco. But I had the company of my husband and family who mean the world to me.
8. In October with a little help from father-in-law we bought our 2nd home, which will be ready in 2012!
9. In November we decided to  invest in our marriage and we attended a 7-week Alpha Marriage Course that helped us to dwell deeper into our relationship and brought home tips and tools to maintain a happy, fulfilled marriage.
10. In December we found out we’re having a boy! And that he is perfect from top to toe.

Ok can I add 1 more?

1. In 2009 I not only embraced my iPhone 3GS but I also ditched Maxis for Digi!
