New Year!

I am super bad about keeping this post updated! Whew! I often want to blog and have ideas about what to write but never seem to find the actual motivation to do it. So here goes....

2009 was a good year.... good things were brought to me and my marriage. My job continues to flourish and keep me oh so busy. My family is well. My hear

t is well.

I am excited and nervous to see what 2010 will bring. Having been through a storm or two I am fully aware of what can happen when we begin to rely on ourselves and not God for direction and focus. I hope this year I can learn to be less of me an

d let more of Him in. We are starting out 2010 with a bang however....Josh and I will soon be the proud new owners of this!

We are super excited about being home owners and for getting out of this apartment complex! This lovely piece of property will become officially ours on Jan 12. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a finished basement, fenced in yard and a great kitchen. Best of all it is in a great neighborhood and wonderful school district. We are planning to have some of the rooms repainted so we aren't moving in until the end of January. I seriously need to get moving on this packing business.....

In other news my 27th birthday is a week from today. Yikes! I just don't even know what to say about that. I don't really want anything for my birthday (except a microwave for my new kitchen) and maybe some quality time with the family. My parents are coming up to visit and see the house and advise us on the purchase of a new washer and dryer. Should be a good visit.

I guess that is really it for now. Later I'll post some pictures from Christmas and pictures from closing. I didn't want to post any inside pictures of the house until it is OURS. Sorta felt like invasion of privacy for the owners.
