Happy New Year 2010!

Wow! I can't believe how fast the year has finished up. I mean really, starting around September 15th (Gumpy's birthday) things go into hyperdrive around here!

We had a wild year here with kids, family, home, work and a myriad of other things in between. Aside from Shane's hospital stay in April, we had a good year. It was hard to watch so many friends and acquaintances go through hard times with work, layoffs, losing their homes and moving. I hope that for 2010 there will be more positive things for the economy and for employment opportunities.

I feel very lucky that we had our family close again this year. The kids have done well in school, been healthy and happy. Shane and I are happier than we have ever been. I am totally committed to my continued weight loss and being a healthier person. I hope that is something that rubs off on the kids too. I mean, I try to keep them healthy but I am hoping they learn about doing it on their own...without me forcing them to eat an apple rather than a Pop Tart!

We have been blessed to have good friends around us. We are also so happy for our friends (the kids' godparents) Doug and Cindy because they are having their first baby this May. It's been a long road for them and we couldn't be happier for them.

All in all, life has been very good to us. I know that when my head hits the pillow each night that I am very lucky to have what I have and to have WHO I have even more.

So for all our family and our friends I hope for you much love, health and blessings for this New Year.

XO
Susan
