A and I have had a fantastic year.
In January, we bought our first real home. I say "real" because it was our really our 2nd house purchase, but the first was a "flip" so we had no intentions of staying there long. We bought the first house suuuuper cheap as a HUD, fixed it up a bit, and sold it a year later. This house, however, we planned on being in for a while. Its much closer to both our jobs, in a quiet neighborhood in a cozy cul-de-sac.. feels much more like home than the first.
In February, I became a first-time aunt (for my side of the family) when my sweet niece Sydnee was born. She has been the light of our family and we have loved watching her grow!

Then, in May we were married.
As I'm sure everyone says, our wedding day was a dream come true.
Everything was perfect and it was so amazing to stand in front of all our loved ones and commit ourselves to one another. Truly a fairytale day for me (and A, though he acts a bit more macho about it!).

We honeymooned in Vegas and had a BLAST! I can't wait to go back.
By the second day there, we had decided we were eager to start our family,
so we devised our baby plan and got to TTC almost right away!

In October, my older sister found out she was finally pregnant after a couple years of trying.
We are SO THRILLED for her and her husband!!!
(Best picture I could find of her on my comp, she is holding baby Sydnee)

Though we have certainly seen a few hardships this year,
I can honestly look back and say 2008 was the best year of my life.
So many incredible milestones,
and ending the year with a little Poppy in my belly...
I couldn't be more grateful for what 2008 brought to our life.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful day today,
reflecting on your own blessings of the year.
And I sincerely hope 2009 holds nothing but joy and love,
good health and happiness for all of you.
Happy New Year!!!

Congrats on your amazing year, B!!!
This made me cry. I have been thinking a lot about my sucky year lately and it is so refreshing to remember that there are people that I care about that had so many wonderful things happen this year.
