Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe that today is the beginning of a new year and a whole new decade!

2009 was an incredible year for both Chris and I.  A year that completely changed our lives forever!!  I am so grateful for the challenges and blessings that this past year has brought us.

For me, the year brought a tremendous amount of change as I adjusted to life so far away from everything I've ever known.  I started a new job in a field that I knew nothing about and learned to adapt to a long commute on a bus to get to work everyday...something I said I would NEVER do.  I learned just how strong I really am and exactly what is important in life.  I have loved more than I could've ever imagined and been loved more than I could have ever dreamed of.  I have discovered how great it feels to truly forgive but recognize the impossibility of forgetting.  I have experienced the incredible gift of being able to carry a healthy baby and share this amazing journey with the love of my life.....a man that loves me just as I am and loves our baby more than words can explain.

I can honestly say that 2009 has been the best year of my life!  I would have never predicted it to turn out this way but I am so thankful it did :)  I look forward to all that is to come in 2010!

Cheers to a New Year!
