I wanted to quickly write how grateful I am for 2008! It was a GREAT year for our family; although it was without a doubt the hardest year we have endured so far! With both Mike and I changing jobs and me going from working 6 days a week to full-time, we have had a lot of adjustments! Moving back east this summer bonded us beyond anything I could ever explain! I will never regret our decision to sell for APX; the memories we made will always be very special to me!
Being without insurance for 8 of the 12 months humbled me and has given me compassion for those less fortunate then I am. It helped me to realize that sometimes people don't choose their circumstances - you just roll with the situation you are in! Thankfully we have had good health - and TODAY we have insurance again! HALLELUJAH!! I've grown to LOVE Mike more then ever! Having him home has been a treat not only my kids but for me as well! I don't know if I would ever want to relive the past year, but for the rest of my life I'll be grateful for the lessons I learned! I'm a different person, mom and wife from the experiences of 2008!
Good times at home...

Great attitude Vanessa. That's the way I felt about 2007 with my divorce and all, but things happen for a reason! I'm glad you made it through with flying colors!
Great post. I loved all of your Christmas pics. It was so fun seeing you at the Christmas Eve program. I want to hire Mike for a Santa next year, he does a great job! My Grandpa will be having heart surgery next week. Will you see him in ICU or is that a totally different department? He goes in Thursday morning. Email me.
Happy New Year! I totally agree with this all Ness. I'm glad you all had a good Christmas!! I sure love you and miss you guys.
I feel like my year in so many ways has reflections of yours in it. I couldn't say AMEN enough as I read this post! I am so grateful for this year, but see ya 2008!
