2008 was HECTIC to say the least.  Beyond moving out of my family’s rather large house in only two weeks, helping buy a new house, remodeling that house for 9 months, playing nurse to my mom who was sick (now better…thank goodness!), watching Scout teeth for what seemed like six months straight, getting pregnant on the sly (it really wasn’t, but I now play into Micah’s story), feeling sick/exhausted because of the new baby coming, tripping and injuring both ankles, etc….., I welcome 2009.  I am not complaining about last year, but I look forward to having a darling little boy who doesn’t know the word no, and a cute and sweet little girl who never has anything to complain about such as a dirty diaper, a hungry stomach or a new tooth.  Regardless of what this year brings, I am a very lucky girl who has been blessed tremendously.
