I was reflecting back on 2008 yesterday and today and feel that we came through a rough year rather unscathed. Even though there was much stress with moving to Madison, selling and building of the houses, all in all it was a pretty good year. No major health issues, financially okay, and much love and good times with family and friends.

I am especially thankful that I am so much closer to my family and have the ability to be more a part of their everyday lives. As well as Shawn doing well at his new job with Lands End. I can see the difference in his stress levels and also how that effects our marriage My only regrets with the move is that I dearly miss our friends in CMH. However, we are doing our best to keep in touch and visit often.

I am hoping that 2009 will bring us the same health, wealth, and happiness as its predecessor did. May it bring it to you as well.
