Didn't seem like that long ago that I was a 24 year old working at Sterling Capital Mortgage, trying to get to the nearest gas station on New Year's Eve Y2K to fill up my little Civic. Oh the panic that everyone had over who knows what was going to happen in the new millennium...We all survived it and here we are 9 crazy years later living the good life!
We stayed pretty quiet this New Year's. We played some games with Addyson before she went to bed, made a few yummy snacks, drank our sparkling cider, then turned in by 11:30. Waiting up that extra 30 minutes was not going to happen. We can stay up til' all hours, but the little ones will still be up by 7:00 am!
Today we took down all the evidence of Christmas, and how sad was that?! I love the holidays and it's always a let down to say good bye to them for another year. We had a wonderful holiday season in 2008 so I have some pretty great memories to reflect upon.
I'm really excited for 2009, I think this will be a great year. We have lots of fun things to look forward to. We start with the birth of Baby Boy Pope coming at the end of February, a visit from LeeAnn in March, some home renovations this Summer, a visit to Ryan's parents in Alaska hopefully in August, Addyson starting private Kindergarten in the Fall(her birthday is 9/3, she JUST missed the cutoff), and a trip to Disneyland to celebrate the holidays. Whew! Sounds like a lot already and it's only January 1!
Looking forward to what the year brings, and we pray that everyone is as blessed in 2009 as they were in 2008...
