So here it is the end of the year or at least it is quickly approaching. I first want to say that im not huge on picture of myself but thought I should put on one here, for this post.

I had every intention of mailing Christmas cards this year but alas I have yet to do it and have procrastinated for many different reasons. Here are a few...
1. Have no clue where my address book is(and that would require me to actually look throughthe boxes and boxes that are piling high in the garage)
2. How do you send cards announcing your divorced? Not sure the tactful way to do it.
3. I can't remember where I put the cards I bought last year for super cheap after Christmas.
4. Stamps....

So those are my excuses, not very valid but I am going to using them to justify my laziness. So all of you that would have gotten a Christmas card, to you I say, "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year".

I laid in bed the other night and sleep eluded me, so naturally my mind began to think back through the last year. As luck would have it, 2008 was a very interesting and eventful year. I want to thank everyone for their love and support, prayers and positive thoughts. Being divorced has not been easy, but then I knew it wouldn't be. I have learned that your family is always there and my relationships with my siblings and their loved ones has been strengthened. I have also learned that you never know what tomorrow will bring so our today's need to be enjoyed to the fullest, life is too short to hold grudges, life isn't meant to be lived in the past....there are several sayings I can think of to sum up the last year. But this is what will say....I love my girls, I love my siblings, I love my parents, I love my friends and love those others close to me, and most of all I am thankful for the Love of my Heavenly Father.

Wishing you all a Happy Holiday....

Pictures....say cheese

We spent a couple of hours late one October afternoon saying cheese and smiling big smiles! I forget how hard it is to get everyone to smile and look at the camera all at the same time. Here are some of the better ones from that afternoon. I think we took around 200 pictures and 20 of them turned out...no we were very lucky to have a large majority of them turn out. Enjoy!!!
