Christmas came pretty early and in a big way
<---

Earlier this year my DH's grandma died. She left her kids a nice bit of money. Before my MIL received her inheritance she had already told me that she'd like to buy me a bike. She and my hubby (and my late FIL) are big time into cycling and have been nosing me in that direction for years.

I also had my diamond reset. I lost significant weight about 5 years ago and have kept it off, so my wedding set hadn't fit right in years. I had been wearing an ugly and uncomfortable spacer to keep from losing it. Plus I didn't really care for the original setting and it was impossible to clean under the stone, so we had my diamond remounted.

Hubby and I are going on our first trip since our honeymoon for our anniversary (12/28/96) this year, too. I've never been to Vegas and DH wants to show me Death Valley, so that will be really nice in December when it's cold, snowy, and dreary here.

2009 is finishing on a really high note for me. Only fair since DH and I were both sick on New Year's Day with tonsil and sinus garbage.

Here's to a better 2010 for those who had a rough year.
