2009

Happy New Year friends and family! I hope everyone rang in the new year with a blast!
I will start off by thanking everyone for being such great friends and family to us. Our New Year toast was a bit rocky since we fell asleep and were woken up by Jenna telling us to get up. I was running to the fridge with one eye closed, trying to open the bottle of sparkling grape juice before the clock struck midnight and in the process yelling at Marc for not helping! Welcome to the world of "getting old"!
As it turned to a new year I couldn't help but think what lies ahead for our family- I have a precious little baby girl growing so rapidly in my belly and getting ready to make her appearance. I have a 7 1/2 year old that is secretly taking growth hormones because I swear she can't already be half way through 2nd grade, and a 10 month old that is getting so brave that he thinks it's ok to walk towards me by himself even though he can't quite walk yet! Where is the time going?
As 2009 fast approached, I am braced for a blessed yet difficult year. I can only hope and pray that things will turn out easier than my mind is making them seem and we get through this major change steady and safe!
Here's a toast to everyone reading :"May you and your loved ones have a happy, safe, and healthy New Year and please don't take anyone or anything for granted in 2009...including your money!" LOL Here's to our future president for making our economy stable again and to families who are feeling the crunch. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
