A little Reflection on 2009...

Last year when I started this blog, Kyle and I were hoping to keep our families up to date with some of our life events, both big and small. I recently spent some time going back and looking at all the changes this year has brought and realized just how amazingly awesome last year was. I also realized that this blog has been a source of enjoyment to us both and in a way has served as a scrapbook of our lives.

We have come a long way in a year that's for sure! Last year at this time we were wondering where Kyle would go for school, if I would still have a job in the fall, where we would live for the rest of the year, how will we go about planning our upcoming wedding, if we should adopt another kitty, what would our new nephew be like, etc.

Now, Kyle is going to Stanford, I'm still working, we have a cute apartment in a good neighborhood, we have a pretty good handle on the wedding planning, a new kitty, and a beautiful and funny nephew, Brock. We definitely consider ourselves to be very fortunate.

2010 is sure to have more excitement in store for us and probably some difficulties too. Probably most exciting for us will be in July when we finally tie the knot! (As of today we have 6 months to go!) We are anxious to meet our next addition to the family when Brett and Jill have their new baby sometime in August. We will watch my best friend since elementary school marry the love of her life in September. We will be missing Ryan when he moves to Spain in March. We will begin a new lifestyle when Kyle takes leave from work to go back to school full time in September. We greet this year full of anticipation and new years resolutions to live healthily and responsibly. We can't wait to watch these expected events take place and enjoy the unexpected surprises to come our way. We are thankful to our amazing friends and family that support us, encourage us, and love us along the way. We wish everyone a wonderful 2010!

Happy New Year!!
