Reflecions Upon 2008

Many wonderful things that have happened have brought us tides of good cheer.
It’s time again to reflect upon the events that have happened this year.
The memories we make with our little ones, nothing could ever replace.
The warmth in my heart when I look at them, and see the joy in their face.
Stella is our princess, I know. She is our girly girl!
She brings laughter and warmth that all little girls do, and she daily brightens our world.
Tristan is our All-American boy. He knows how to play with the guys!
He charms us with his brains and good looks; he’s gotten down his fake “cry”!
Bill has been working hard so he says. I guess I’ll just take his word.
He’s finished our basement and it looks great! His work schedule has been absurd!
As for me I guess I’ll just write a line. I finally wrote my first book!
Its still being revised and it was just for me, but if you’re interested take a look.
So that was the year two thousand and eight. That barely sums it up.
Too many memories and blessings we’ve had so let us now raise a cup.
Here’s to a brand new year, I hope it will bring good things!
Lets toast to a year and good wishing for all that 2009 will bring.

From Here To Eternity

December 1st was mine and Bill's nine year anniversary! He surprised me by sending me flowers (not from Walmart for once thank you very much) and it totally made my day! We didn't really celebrate our anniversary until this past weekend. My parents came and spent the night at our house on Friday while we stayed at the Homestead up in Heber. That was our first time staying there. I can't say that a stuffed animal on the bed screams romance, but it was a nice room. Friday night we went out to dinner at the restaurant located at the Homestead then hung out in the hot tub for a while. Then on Saturday we checked out and went to see the new James Bond movie. I've decided we need to change our anniversary to the summer time when we won't get caught in a snow storm for once! Whose idea was it to get married in December anyways? Oh yeah, mine. Anyways, the kids had fun with their grandparents and we were happy to see them when we got home. It's funny, I use to dread coming home and getting back to everyday stuff, but now I have two happy faces to greet me when we get home. Three if you count Duke. He was the most excited to see us! I love it! Of course it would have been nice to have another day or two away. We've had a wonderful year together and I can't believe it's been nine years since we got married! It really does go faster than you'd think. I can't believe Stella is 4 1/2 years old and that Tristan will be 2 in two months! We've gone through many challenges and many wonderful times together in the past nine years and I have to say there is nobody else I would rather go through this life with! He is my best friend even when he drives me nuts sometimes! And vice versa I would hope! Happy Anniversary to us!!!
