2009

Happy New Year! It's hard to believe it's 2009. It seems just like yesterday that we were all waiting for the world to end when 1999 became 2000. We've come a long way baby!!! We quietly rang in the new year last night in Tennessee. We watched Carolina play and win and then we watched Times Square go crazy. Big night! I went to bed so thankful for a great year of change and anticipating a new year with many changes coming. I can confidently say that our family will be one larger in the year 2009. No, we haven't gotten "that" phone call yet, but I know that this baby is coming. It's strange sometimes thinking about being a new mom again but realizing how different that will be than when we had Benjamin. No recovery from a C-Section so more involvement from the very beginning. Benjamin says things like, "when the baby is here I'll teach him to..." He's very excited and initiates conversations about the baby on his own. I love that because God is preparing his little heart to not only love a new baby but also to become the big brother. He has always been very independent but we see now that he is stretching his wings to fly more and more. He will be 5 in 3 months......sniff, sniff.
It will be a very happy 2009!

I read someone's blog the other day about how bad 2008 had been to her. And she was glad it was over...but by the end of the blog posting she realized that through the bad she had learned to depend on God more, and talk to God more, and look to Him more. So...maybe after all it was a great year, no matter what the circumstances said.
I am looking forward to an even better 2009!!
I am so excited to be a part of Breakthrough in this new year!
Luv ya girlie!!!
