2009 - Top 10 List

As tradition, I like to do a top 10 list of happenings in the past year. Things really started kicking off in 2007, where I graduated with my MBA after 6 years and got my first promotion. In 2008, I saw my sister get married in St. Thomas and Milwaukee and also took a wonderful trip to Hawaii. I somehow had to keep up with it in 2009, and I would hafta say I definitely have! So here it goes, the top 10 happenings of 2009:

10. MacBook Pro - I finally took the plunge and went to back to an Apple computer, my first since the Apple IIe I got in first grade!
9. SF visit - In February I flew out to the Bay area to visit Winston and his fiance at the time. They took me to Berkeley and SF Chinatown. Lotsa eating!
8. Stock Market - With the economy tanking in 2008, I made a point to learn from previous downturns and put money into the market. The batch of stocks I picked returned over 60% in 2009!
7. New Years trip to Orlando - I spent the final seconds of 2009 at EPCOT center in Disney World with someone special (see #1). We almost didn't make it as 12 hours is a long time to spend at EPCOT...
6. Stupidfest, eh? - Our annual former roommates trip in 2009 was to Toronto and Buffalo. Great buffalo wings at Anchor bar, and Toronto had great food too.

Stay tuned, top 5 coming up!
