A BRAND NEW YEAR!!!









So first off - I have to say how OLD Kelly & I are getting since New Year's Eve was the night he proposed to me 11 YEARS AGO!!! (yes, you read that correctly). So I posted our yearbook pictures of what we could've looked like since I can't find the REAL engagement pixs right now :).

I'm so excited and optimistic about this year!! There are many exciting things for us to look forward too.
1 - THE BABY!! arriving in June 2009 ... only 5 1/2 more months...and I'm hoping to find out the sex on Tues at my appt!!
2 - Colby's Baptism - which seemed like light years ago only a short time ago! Not only that but he'll get to start cub scouts which he is VERY excited about.
3 - Our basement is almost finished!!! YAY!!
Kelly is talking about going back to school to get his Bachelor's in Computer Science/Bus. Management. I was going to start some classes this year, but guess what? No time now!
We "MIGHT" be getting a dog for the boys & family this year. . . but we'll see how that goes.

I'm also very excited to still be in Young Womens! My Laurels at this point, were my Beehives so many years ago and 2 of them will turn 18 this year. I was reading my journal about all the experience I've had since I was called to YW's and it was such a neat, revealing, spiritual journey for myself. It was so fun!! Now I'm hoping to stay in until my new Beehives become my Laurels! :) yeah!!!!! I've grown so much that it's fun to read back the things I've done & experienced.

Brady will be 9 on the 19th. Which means 3 more years he'll be a DEACON!!! I know 3 years is a long time, but look how fast he turned 9! I can't believe it. I remember when I turned 10 because i was in the double digits and a 4th grader. . . I dunno. It's all very surreal to me. I don't feel a day older than 20, how can I have a 9 year old at home!!

I've just felt so good today - despite the fact I've been so very sick for so long - and maybe it's my new optimism about a good year coming for us. :).
So I hope & pray everyone else is excited about this brand new year!! And may all your dreams come true!!! :)
