Happy 2009 Everyone...

well i've started a depressing post about WHY i loathe this holiday so much about 4 times and it REALLY is too depressing to read, so i will just say HAPPY 2009 to everyone...and add i do NOT NOT NOT like this holiday!

We are looking forward to 2009 for a few reasons:
1. Kyle will GRADUATE! (FINALLY! praise the Lord, hallelujah -is that how you spell it?)
2. By September of 2009, I will have a child in High School, Junior High and Elementary School...
gee, could i have planned that any better?
3. Somehow, someway we are trying to head to the beach this summer to "veg" on the sand.
4. We hope to win the Idaho state lottery to pay off our student loans and house (well, one can always wish right?)
5. Kyle will now be 2 years "scout free" (as in he has NOT been working with the Scouts...that DOES free up a lot of summer vacation time for the family...not that we GO anywhere, but we have the time now! LOL)
6. Josh may finally stop growing UPWARD this year, thus freeing up my "New Pants for Josh" budget for something else.
7. We will probably hit 12 gallons of milk a week this next year.
8. 2009 will come with its share of joys AND challenges...are we ready?
9. i may try to start growing houseplants again this year...who knows?!
10. we will be trying some NEW things with duct tape this year, betcha can't wait!

have a GREAT one everyone!

Did the scouting calling follow Kyle to your new ward too? Man...he must be an expert by now!! :)

I'm looking forward to a few of the same things you are too...winning the lottery...Kamen's growth slowing a little...

Happy New Year Dorien! :)

Somehow, someway, you do need to get to the beach. I start planning the first part of January for a trip to the beach in August. The thought of the beach helps me get through the horrible month of January.I know how much you love the winter weather, maybe you could come over and we could just talk about how nice and warm and sunny and beautiful the beach is. I am feeling better already!
