2008 What a crazy year it was

I can't believe that yet another year has gone by so fast. It seems just yeserday we were ringing in 2008. So many things have changed this year for my little family, so I will start with Lena.

She started 1st grade in Utah, still can't believe she will be 7 in a few months, she loved her teacher and classmates. Her birthday in 2008 wasn't so great since Mom decided to get sick, but I made it up to her in a big way, so she forgave me, thank goodness. She has done so much growing this year in both the physical way and the mental way. She is almost up to my shoulders now and I can hardly keep up with her anymore. She is such a go getter and can't sit still for more than a few minutes at a time, and her talking, what can I say about that, the girl is never quite, she's always going on about one thing or another and sometime I have to admit that I get mentally tired just listening to her. She is such a great kid I couldn't have asked for better. She was really excited to move to New Mexico, then wouldn't you know it, the minute we get here she wants to go back to Utah. She has slowly settled in and has made a really good friend in the neighborhood. They play every weekend together and never seem to get tired of eachother.

Randy-Well his job moved us from Oregon to Utah now to New Mexico. This is a great company, so I don't mind so much. He is doing really well at his job and has made a hunting buddy, so I will once again be a hunting widow.

Me-2008 didn't start out so well for me. February I got really sick, hence no party for Lena. I almost didn't make it to 2009, but the Lord was watching out for me and decided I had more to do on this earth. My body is still not back to normal, the doctor said it would take me a great while to recover from my near death experience and boy was he right. I have my good days and my bad days, but I take full advantage of the good ones. I do have to say that 2008 wasn't all bad, I have a wonderful husband whom I love dearly and a beautiful daughter who keeps me young. The rest of the year went pretty well. I miss my friends in Utah and Oregon, but I know that I will meet some interesting people here, I just need to get out of the house to do that.

I hope everyone has a wonderful 2009!
