So Long '08

You know that old adage that says time just goes faster the older you get? Well.....it's true. I cannot believe how fast each year passes. It seems like it should be about April, not December. And especially not the last day of December, which means the last day of the year. Yikes.

Even though 2008 has been a fast year, it's been a good one. We celebrated 4 weddings and 6 births with family and friends. We took mini-vacations and day trips as a family. We worked on the house and property to get it even more how we like it. We spent lots of time with family and friends. We were mostly healthy and safe, with only minor injuries and illnesses (nothing even close to serious). We fixed vehicles and saved money. We made new friends. We didn't have to say good-bye to any close family or friends, the only close death being that of George, our horse. We had a lot of fun over the months. We each celebrated another birthday and many milestones. We added a new member to our family with Marley. We still have our home and our jobs. 2008 was a good year. Let's hope 2009 can only get better!

So from our family to yours, may you have a happy, healthy, safe and joyous 2009!
