So, I sat down before the year ended and tried to write one of my traditional year- end blogs, but I couldn’t do it. I had writers block. At first I thought I just wasn’t ready to write, as I have to be inspired and the mood has to hit. I ended up realizing that I had nothing I wanted to really write about. I had already written about ever thing I wanted to. What I have decided to do instead is a little different. I have compiled a list of my favorite things in 2010; from my favorite songs, to movies, my favorite album and my best moments of the year.
My favorite songs
I don’t know what I would do without Music in my life. It has always gotten me through the tough times, and it makes the good times that much better. Sometimes my favorite song of the moment can come on my iPod and brighten my day, that's all it takes! Here is a list of some of those songs I had on constant rotation this past year.

Jason Derulo - In My Head
B.O.B feat. Haley Williams & Eminem – Airplanes Pt. 2

Usher – DJ Got Us Falling in Love
The Script – Breakeven
Lady Antebellum – Need You Now
La Roux – Bulletproof
Katy Perry – Teenage Dream
Flo Rida Ft. David Guetta – Club Can’t Handle Me

My Favorite Album of 2010
Taylor Swift – Speak Now
Say what you will about Taylor, it seems you either love her or hate her. I love her. I love seeing positive girls out there, actually being a good role model for the young ones. She’s a true songwriter. She tells stories of real life that people can really relate to. I can just say that with everything I have been through in the past year, I have never listened to an entire album that spoke to me more than “Speak Now.”
My Favorite Moments

Getting birthday tattoos with Krista in May
Cousin Dallas coming to visit from Calgary in June
Dallas saving the precious goat Darla from a terrible fate, then learning Darla was pregnant
Watching the birth of those 2 little goats – I never need to see that again

Ending the year in Montreal with Nat
Having good friends in my life: Natalie, Krista, Sandra & Paul – you all are my rock, whether you know It or not.
In my 2009 recap I said that I had grown that year more than any other. Well, it was the same for 2010. I went through a heck of a lot and I learned so much about life and about myself. I've got big plans this year and I have already made my action plan...and put some of those into motion. I can't wait to share all of my adventures with you.
