Looking back....



Jason and I just got done looking at some pictures from the past year on the computer. It's amazing that going into a new year, you have no idea what's going to come your way. We would have never guessed how busy and crazy 2008 was going to be for us. I asked Macey tonight, "Where do you live?" She answered, "In Colon on Elm Street!" Just hearing her say the words make it more real to me of what has happened this past year. We are still unsure of how long we'll live here, but for now we're very happy and enjoying our cozy house on Elm Street :)








Here's a list of what 2008 was like for us:


-Kelsey was born on March 1st

-Macey became a big sister!

-I went on maternity leave not knowing I'd never return

-Jason received a high school math teaching position down in Colon, MI.

-We sold our house within a month in a terrible market

-I called and quit my job and officially became a "stay at home mom"

-Jason started graduate classes at Western Michigan

-Jason ended his job doing concrete

-We moved to Colon and lived in a cottage then a rental before buying our house on October 30

-Kelsey lived in 4 different houses within her first year of life

-Started lots of painting and remodeling in our new house

-Jason started coaching JV boy basketball



Who knows what our 2009 list will end up looking like??

So true, Jen - Who knows what 2009 will bring? What a year you've had. And you've come through it all with flying colors. You and Jason and your beautiful little girls make such a wonderful family. Lots of love and best wishes for 2009!
