The year 2008 has brought our family much to be grateful for. We are so grateful for each other and the closeness that we share. Everyday spent together in 2008 was a blessing in our lives. 2008 not only taught us to be grateful for each other but to live each day to it fullest. We learned of the importance and the wonderful gift of Eternal Families. We laughed, we cried and we laughed some more.
Hopefully the year 2009 will bring us a MOVE to Arizona. As much as we have loved living close to my family here in Oregon we are anxious to get home. Dan is hoping to get into a program in the fall and we are hoping to have a permanent address before Ryleigh enters junior high. We are grateful for a new year and the fresh start (although, do we really need a new year to have a new start?) Hopefully the year 2009 will teach us as much, if not more than the year 2008 and we will grow stronger as a family together because of it.
2009 will also bring us 10 years of marriage, an 11 year old, a 9 year old, an 8 year old and a 2 year old! Wow!
To all of our friends and family - I am thankful for each one of you individually. Everyone has impacted our family, for the better. Because of you we are who we are. Thank you.
Good bye 2008, Hello 2009
