Ready or not, 2010 here I come!

What a year 2009 was!

So many things happened in the past year, both good and some not so good, and here we are entering the next decade. 

Last year:

• My husband started work at a new department.  This was a great move, as he is much happier and works a much better schedule for our little family.
• Our beautiful baby girl joined our little family.  June 6th brought us Elysia Grace, and our world hasn't been the same since!
• My father started his second bout against Cancer and is still fighting strong. 
• Allister, (my brother) came home from a few months of living in China.

Now what will 2010 bring?  So far...

I started 2010 with optimism, as we rang in the New Year with dear friends.  We played cards, watched movies and ate tons of food all evening long.  Then, on New Years day, we went to my husbands family for a big dinner.  It was there that I fell down the stairs and promptly landed on my butt.  Of course I was carrying my daughter at the time, so the two of us went flying through the air and I did everything I could to cushion her fall (thank you Christmas junk food for adding to my cushioning!).  She burst into tears, which were promptly followed by tears from her mama, but thankfully the two of us were fine. 

So there you have it.  If I've learned anything from my 2010 experiences so far, it is that there will be good and bad, but helping me through it all will be my wonderful family and my dear friends.  More good news?  The extra cushioning is obviously necessary.  Cookies and cakes, here I come!

OK 2010, I'm ready for ya!
