2008......What a Ride it has Been.....Happy 2009

I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself because Steve has to work tonight. When midnight hits I can only cuddle my Princess. If she is not already asleep. I got to thinking about it and I have nothing to feel sorry for myself about. 2008 has been a great year.

• We got our own home, when so many people are losing theirs.


• We have not lost one person in our family.


• My Dad made it through another year, there was a point where we were not sure if he would make it through 2007.


• Steve has finally found a good job that he likes. It took a couple of tries, but he is now a happy little camper.


• We have gotten right with the Lord.


• We got to see an African American elected president. I may not agree with his politics, but he is still a history making president.


• Gas prices soared to new heights then dropped like a rock.( Thank You Lord)


• We have found a church family that is awesome.


• Steve and I's relationship is stronger and we are closer than we have ever been.


• Mom and Dad living here and no major problems.( Thank You Lord)


• We found our missing niece, who has had 2 boys in her years being away from the family.

Yes we have had our downs, but are highs outweigh those by so much

• Mom winding up in the hospital 2 times.


• Being thrown out of our duplex because it was foreclosed on. (That was how we started the new year)(Mind you we were renters!!)


• Patty ending up in the hospital.


• Steve being fired twice and quitting 2 other jobs.

Really those are all I can think of. Like I said the good more than out weighs the bad. I hope you all have a wonderful new year and please be safe. May God bless all of you this year. Here's to a great,safe,happy,healthy,and spiritual 2009!!!
