2008 is almost in the books. I am honestly ready for 2009. It has been a difficult year. Darrell lost his job in Dec 2007 so financially it has been hard. He did get his job back but they cut his pay drastically. Doodlebug dealt with a great deal of sadness related to her grieving process. In June one of my close friends died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 39. Watching her family (3 kids and hubby) experience this grief has been nothing short of heartbreaking. I enjoy spending time with them and will continue this while I am on God's green earth. Then all the stuff with my Dad.
I still see all the blessings-Dad and Paul's recovery, Mom being almost 4 years out from stage 3 breast cancer, a hypoallergenic kitten who joined our family in March, my children's health, so many wonderful friends (GA, Erin, and Jill, just to name a few). Most of all a heavenly father who still loves me despite all my failings.
I wish everyone a wonderful 2009!
Jennifer
