I want to take a moment to wish everyone a happy and safe New Year. I cannot believe it is nearly already 2010! My where do the years go? Last year this time, we wondered what 2009 would bring us. Would it bring us a baby to love and care for? Would it bring us a house, more nieces and nephews? Would we be one step closer to Mike being done with school? Would we live our lives in a way our sweet angels would be pleased with? 2009 brought us some really wonderful surprises. I think our biggest blessing this year was Collin. When we found out the arrival of Collin and were told the obstacles we would have to face to bring him into our little family, we were scared. I remember being so overwhelmed, but yet being so convinced that he would be our son. I remember going to meet Collin's birth mother, and than her parents and two children, and just wanting more than anything to have Collin be ours. I remember all too well leaving Southern Utah, time after time, with an empty car seat and tears. But just 5 short/horribly forever weeks, we came home, this time with both Collin and I in the back seat. Wad 2009 perfect? Nope. But it was one of the happiest years of our marriage. I'm not sure what 2010 will bring. I have a feeling it will see us further away from where we live, probably a 3-4 hour drive away from our wonderful families. But I think taking steps that may be scary will pay off for our little family. I will explain more later. I think taking scary steps though will also make it so we can finally own our own home, something that after 5 years of renting, I will be thrilled to do. So here's to one heck of a year. Thank-you to so many of you supporting and cheering us along the way. Clicking onto our blog and seeing the inspiring words and comments bring smiles to our day. Happy 2010!!!!!!
*I would also like to see a healthier me. Ten pounds is great, but I have a LONG way to go!!!*
