Come On In, 2010!!!

Happy New Year!!! NYC time, anyways! :) We just celebrated at 11:00 CST and find that is just fine with us tonight. This year, we had lavish plans to host a party for some families; these plans faded as we realized we had to get up early tomorrow to head to the Cotton Bowl and to see Jason's family for Christmas on the way... So, we made party hats and a cake here, and the four of us had a nice evening.

At dinner, we talked about our favorite things from this year. Some highlights from 2009 for our family:

• Fair Hills vacation
• The ability to be able to slowly update Jason's office, including 2 brand new (as of yesterday!) operatories for our hygiene patients. Slowly, the others will follow!
• A church home that we love!
• Both of us coached our first teams: t-ball, soccer and volleyball
• First day of elementary school; first day of preschool
• Several major projects finished at our house, mostly the driveway fix and pergola (complete with skylights now - haven't updated with those pictures)
• Bicycles, tents and trampolines
• My desire to get in to cake decorating! :)
• Family dinners most, if not all, nights of the week
• Great friends and loving family
• Hot wheels and Crash, Smash Derby games
• My improved health!!! and three healthy, happy boys!

Admittedly.... kind of disappointed that no one has checked in with my resolution from last year in the past few months.... what to know the status of it?

Here's to a great 2010!!!!! May all your dreams be possible, and may we always have to work hard enough to get them that when we do realize goals and dreams, that they are appreciated, and not taken for granted.
