oh my,oh my! how fast you went oh nine!

i'm not sure i've ever been so ready for a year to go! this year has been slightly overwhelming and very fast! as i ponder back, i think of things that happened and am like, "that was this year?" or "really, april was just a few months back!" only to realize, that april was 8 months ago, and today is the very last day of 2009. the last "oh" year number wise. i remember when the clock struck 2000,and so many people thought the world was going to end. i remember very well that my brother was so mad to be at some church family's home that night instead of out with his friends. that really doesn't seem that long ago. it's been a decade ago! wow! that's crazy! so, as i like to think back to this year, here's a review. i'm also going to add in a huge THANK YOU KEL! she fixed my computer (or rather my 'rents' computer)! i'm going to try to add some photos of this year too. only deal is, there's like zero of my nephews on my camera! my mom got a much better point-and-shoot than i have, and i guess i use hers every photo op with them! sorry! i'll do better this next year! on to the quick review. .... . .... . (let me insert this is more for me to review and move on than for you, but hope you enjoy nonetheless).....

there have been some amazing times, so times i'v faked being happy. there have been some not good times,for various reasons. i'm very glad to see this year go, and am trying to sike myself up for 2010. i don't have time for pictures tonight,maybe tomorrow.

2009 brought 22 baby showers/births and 14 bridal showers or teas/weddings. glad i didn't drink the water those folks did!

i pray that you and your family have had a wonderful year, and that this next year be a year of health,happiness, and laughter!

happy new year!
