If you follow BLAST on Twitter or read our blog, you probably stay updated on what we’re working on professionally – whether we’re launching new technologies, rocking it at industry trade shows, spending time with our favorite editors or winding up in David Pogue’s latest book. We can’t wait to see what professional successes are in store for 2010, but thought we’d first give you a little glimpse into what made our personal lives special in 2009. Here’s a look!

Brooke got engaged in October to her college sweetheart and is now in the midst of planning a July 2010 wedding.

Mendy had a whirlwind year! On April 1, her son Jake was born and a few months later, Mendy became president of BLASTmedia.

Ashley bought a new car in April and bought a house in September. Consequently, she is now our resident home renovation DIY expert!

Chantal’s boyfriend proposed on Christmas morning and like Brooke, she’s now looking forward to a 2010 wedding!

Lindsey welcomed two new additions to her family – twins Riley & James were born on July 13, 2009. Additionally, she needed more room for obvious reasons and moved into a new house.

Ryan got engaged in the spring and on August 1, his fiancé Stephanie became the new Mrs. Greives!

Hillary traded in her old ‘stang for shiny new wheels- a Ford Edge.
