New Years!

It's 1/3/2010. I cannot believe that I just typed that date as the current and correct year. Wow - what a year 2009 was! Philip and I were talking the other day about what a great past year this has been for us. We bought a new house (which is now truly our home - for a long time to come), bought a new car, found out we are expecting our first baby, had a pretty great pregnancy so far with a little one growing as healthy as I could hope for inside me, found out that our baby will be a precious little girl, and I ended the year by getting a new job within our company that I think will be a great role for me...actually, we both have our jobs, which is a blessing in itself. And we have the most incredible family and friends. I feel so blessed. We have so much to be thankful for! And 2010 is surely going to be one of the most memorable years yet...our life as we know it is getting ready to change forever - and in a way, it already has. We will celebrate our 6 yr wedding anniversary in January. And we will expand our family in April...I can't believe it...what used to seem so far away months ago, is really is not far away now at all! Kinsley is so present in every aspect of our lives already - Philip and I are so excited to meet her in person and fall in even more love with her once she is here.

So, here's to 2010 and all the ups and downs (and praying for more "ups") that come along with it! I am happy to say that I made it to midnight on New Years Eve...well, barely! I toasted with our friends (with yummy sparkling grape juice, of course) and kissed my hubby as we headed into 2010!
