2008

I can’t say that I’m sad to see the end of 2008 because 2009 holds the beginning of a new time for this country…a fresh start with a new administration. I’m hoping that 2009 holds many positive changes.

For me 2008 was a year of growth. I am finally starting to feel at peace with myself. I’ve healed many old wounds and the damage that was done to me as a child is finally starting to be just a thing of the past. I feel happy and I haven’t been able to say that for a very long time.

So, goodbye 2008. I’m welcoming 2009 with open arms!

Christmas 2008

This Christmas didn’t turn out the way I had hoped. My little brother was home from Afghanistan and I only got to spend a couple of hours with him but a couple of hours is better than none. We had a pleasant Christmas Eve and Lily was thrilled with her new kitchen!
