Can't believe the year is almost over...

How is it almost 2010?? I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by...it's brought so many changes, challenges and blessing to our family. I started off the year with no job, Evan did too...sort of (he started a new job on the 5th of Jan.) we were unsure of what our plans were and the future looked a bit rough to say the least in the finacial department. But we made it and the year ended pretty great. We celebrated our first anniversairy in March with a fun stay at the hotel we got married in, I started a new job in May after 5 months of solid searching, Kaitlyn turned 2 in July and we were blessed with a positive pregnancy test in September. Evan started a fantastic new job in October that while tears him away from the family for a few months at a time he is loving it and making excellent money to the point where I will be able to stay home comfortably with our kiddos for at least the next 18 months, a dream I've had since Kaitlyn was born.
2009 had many ups and downs but I think we've ended on a fantastic note and am looking very much forward to 2010.
We have many things to look forward and will be faced with many a new challenge I'm sure! Our biggest challenge we are to face in the next few weeks, deciding what state we'd like to live in and buy a house in...at the moment we are leaning towards to Omaha but still have a few pro/cons to decipher through.
We are anxiously and excitedly awaiting the arrival of our baby boy on or around May 18th and I am looking forward to the challenge of an almost 3 yr old and newborn...praying hard my almost 3yr old will still enjoy her 1.5 to 2 hr daily naps!
Lots to relfect on and lots to look forward too, life is pretty grand ain't it!

Goals for 2010 include taking some cooking classes and sewing classes and making sure my gym membership is put to GOOD use! :)
