As this year comes to an end, I can't help but reflect on it. It has been a tough year on our little family. We have lost jobs,had health problems and I had surgery, we even lost two friends because of death. We have endured other trials that have tested our strength and our faith. In fact, I would say that this has been the hardest year of my life so far. That being said, I would be a fool not to think of the great times too! Sophie was baptized a member of our church, we had lots of great memories all through the year which have been documented on this blog, we went to Disneyland as a family and Charlie and I spent a fabulous couple of days in Chicago celebrating our tenth anniversary. We got to see Wicked while we were there and had a great time in that amazing city. We have watched our little ones grow and become more independant and fun! We have had great times with our family and friends. All three of my siblings that lived out of state have moved back to Utah and my entire family is all here now! I have been so happy to watch my brother, Adam find a great girl and get engaged after a really horrible time for him. We have been blessed in ways that I can not begin to tell. I hope that this year has given you some blessings and memories to recall as we get ready to ring in a new year. Here's to 2009!! Borrowing a quote, " Come what may and love it! "
