2009 was good to us. Sure, like everyone else we had our share of ups and downs with the crappy economy, but we made it through. I could go on and on with a list of things that made 2009 a special/memorable year for both good and bad reasons. I'll spare you all of that. :) I learned a lot this year. I discovered that I have a pretty awesome family. Always knew I did, but this year made me see how blessed I am. I'm looking forward to 2010...it will be intresting to see what this year has in store for us. :)
