Happy New Year

Mr. Ethan at his best, notice he is actually smiling instead of the vacant stare!
Mr. peek a boo and Me

This year has been crazy and fun. I couldn't be grateful for more. My life was full of love, relationships, laughter and blessings. I am sad to see another year fly by me, knowing that it just means that we are getting older. That my little boy is growing up, hmm... I wish I could keep him this way forever! He is just so darn cute. Brad and I have thoroughly enjoyed Ethan as an addition to our little family! I know change is inevitable, it helps us become the person that we are supposed to be. But why does it have to be so hard to let change happen!

Pondering on the year to come, 2008 makes me born 26 years ago, married 5 years, a nurse for 3 years, a homeowner for 3 years, a mother going on 2 years, and a business owner for 2 years. I guess these were my milestones for life from my past, scary to know that I have achieved those goals, is it already time for more? I would say the hardest was the business, the easiest is being a mother, the most challenging and fun is being a working housewife/mother. One day I will be a "stay at home" mother, but for now I am living my dream of being a mother and a nurse and a wife all in one!

This year I hope to laugh more, teach more, vacation more, cook more, and learn more. AND to simply enjoy life NOW!

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;

And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

All simply in the springing of the
year.

Happy New Year everyone!
