Reflections of 2009
I've never been one for resolutions but as I sit here listening to the rain poor down and my good friend Norah{Jones} keeping me company I can't help but feel overwhelmed. 2009 was a great year...I'd have to say probably one of the best ever. I keep hearing people say they're so glad it's over and how happy they are for another to begin and I can't help but think of how great it was. Don't get me wrong...we certainly had our share of disappointments but overall we were & are truly blessed. Sometimes I pinch myself and think "Is this really my life?". I hear you...you are wondering why it's so fabulous. Some of the highlights: Tyler finding the perfect fit in a job and loving what he's doing, Being in our own place again, Getting to spend lots of time with family throughout the entire year, Feeling comfortable and content with my job, Making new friends, Keeping up with old friends, Spending lots of time together, Finding peace in knowing someday we will have a family, Surviving our first Nursery calling at church, Enjoying the sunshine and this beautiful place we live, Discovering more reasons everyday why I married the perfect man for me, Making our health a priority and supporting each other to be better, Feeling the love of friends and family, Getting more involved with family history, Trying not to bake so much{a little vice of mine}, Knowing where we are going in life and loving it. Just a few of the things I can of right now that put a smile on my face. I have been a terrible blogger. I haven't felt like I've had anything significant to post and I am just realizing I need to be more creative with my thoughts and document what I am thinking about in the moment. I will be better. I am feeling anxious{in a good way} about what 2010 has in store for us. Life is good. As one of my wise clients reminded me yesterday "Let Go & Let God". . . that is my motto for this year. What will yours be? You don't have to tell me but think about it, really think about it. Find a new purpose for 2010.

geez nat snat! way to make me cry first thing in the morning! I love you & Ty, you're right...2009 has been a great year for our family--lots of progress! What a blessing!
I love your motto!
i think at some point a lot of people pinch themselves and think "really? this is my life"...i love the motto, i think im going to use it too!!!
it's funny how crazy up and down life is! it's awesome you feel that 09 was so great! sometimes i get so caught up in the stresses of daily life and everything that i'm just relieved at the end of a day/month/year, instead of feeling reflective or happy... something i need to work on! hope you had great holidays
-oh, and about your nursery calling! my mom always said that she loved that calling because even though it was the hardest two hours of her week- she didn't have to do or worry about anything else the whole week (meetings, activities, etc.) ;)
i love to hear that you are so happy... there is a lot to be thankful for and things just seem to brighten when i remind myself of that daily. ps. next time youre in town lets get together so we can chat more. loved seeing you. you look beautiful.
