I can't believe we are officially in 2010! Wasn't it just yesterday that we were hoarding canned foods and bottled water in fear of Y2K????? Well, actually, my husband and I were spending Y2K in a cabin in the woods without a worry in the world. And the hoarding? I think we had one bottle of water. I am not sure what that one bottle was for, it surely wasn't going to help us survive for long - LOL.

But here we are 10 years later!

Since the start of the new millenium, we built a house (and quickly expanded with a new family room).

We became parents three times and discovered surprisingly amazing blessings in life as the parents of severely disabled child.

I stepped off my career ladder as a marketing manager and stepped into life as a stay at home in small town USA.

I decided to learn how to use my camera better, and discovered a completely new career that I completely love.

I have never been one to set up New Year resolutions. However, as we welcome in 2010, I will try to enjoy those little moments in life a little more. I will try not to stress so much about a messy house, or laundry piling up in the basement. I will try to remember that my little ones are only little for [what seems like] a split second.

2010 also brought a tiny miracle to my family when my brother in law welcomed in their adorable little boy just a few days ago. And there is nothing better in this crazy world than holding and smelling (mmmmm) a brand new life.

Happy New Year!!!!!!
