2009 in Review

2009 Was an amazing year. As I thought about it I just wanted to go through and refelct, record, and count my blessings. It's been quite an adventure looking back and it's taking longer than I thought, but here are the pieces as I get to them...
My life is definaltely more organized and recorded from Easter on. That's when I started blogging. I am grateful for this blog. It has been a great way to keep a "journal" and keep in touch with my close family and friends. Through it I have learn the value of keeping a record of my family.
