staying connected 2009
holy smokes, 2010 has started in a whirlwind.

a year ago, i was finishing up my pilates certification, taking ballet lessons and going to physio in an effort to figure out what on earth was wrong with my spine. in april, i got my certification and was hired at the studio i studied at. needless to say, i love what i do and have never gained such satisfaction from my work before. it's an incredible experience!

t & i didn't travel much at all this year, mostly because i was in school for a year, just living on his income, so now that i have a paycheck we are going to try to pay off some of the debt incurred.

seriously, we've just been working, eating, and sleeping. we're planning a trip to croatia perhaps in june, that hasn't been settled yet.

i had my very first ever MRI in september - honestly, it's like being in the twilight zone, they put you in the tube and then lift the table up so that you swear you could scrape the top of the tunnel with the tip of your nose - and then you stay in there while clunking and clicking noises that are VERY LOUD go on for quite awhile. i was in there for 45 minutes, and it wasn't too bad, but i know people who've had to go in for longer and it can get pretty freaky. the results were completely normal which is GREAT! it just means i have very, very, VERY shifty bones. my muscles work super-hard to keep my skeleton in place because my ligaments are so stretched out. yippee years of dance and stretching, eh?

i stopped therapy and am surviving quite well on my own, i think. this week (can i talk about this week even though it's 2010? is that cheating?) has been quite a test since i usually get very depressed when sleep-deprived and oh, has little aleyah been keeping her Mommy sleep-deprived. but i've been fine, knock on wood, so this is all signs of improvement and independence that i welcome with wide-open arms!

other than that, things have been pretty chill this year. a nice change from the past, i must say. i think i'm definitely settling in to things; i feel more relaxed, and much more okay with stuff going all over the place in life as it tends to. that used to throw me, but now i'm better at going with the flow. it's nice :)

i'll post some pics of aleyah in a second if blogger cooperates.

happy 2010 everyone!!! may it be a wonderful year, even better than the last!
