Goodbye 2009... Hello 2010

By golly, 2009 went by fast!  This has been a hectic but fantastic year for me so I thought I'd share some of the more fabulous moments of 2009 with you...

I graduated in May from Loyola University of Chicago, and thanks to a year of studying abroad I kicked my GPA up so high I graduated with magna cum laude honors - check out those cords.  Thank you Deakin University.  And thank you parents for funding my wildest dreams.



I was also super busy planning what many referred to as "the social event of the summer" - thats right the Vollman/DeCourcy Wedding.  After 8 years of internet dating and obscene amounts of money spent on phone bills and airfare Nick and I got married July 17th.



After the wedding we moved to London and we got married again.... Actually we never really got married the first time!  HA tricked you!  It was all pretend because of the immigration stuff.  Here we are signing the legal papers.  It was a bit of an anti-climax after the first one.




Since moving to London I have been steadily improving my housewife skills with cooking and decorating.  I also learned how to knit - an achievement I suppose.  I applied to lots of jobs and I got one, but it sucked and I don't have it any more.  We just got back from a two week visit to Cincinnati and we had lots of fun there.  It's been a great year....

But of course today is January 1st and what would January 1st be without a few goals?  So here are a few for 2010.

  1. Get experience for vet school
  2. Do more and stop thinking about doing more
  3. Be proactive about establishing myself in London
  4. Be active and healthy and quit yo-yo dieting (cliche I know)
  5. Make a really good new English friend

Happy New Year Everyone!
