New Years Eve-Saying Goodbye to 2009

It's New Years Eve and this just happens to be my 100th post for the year!  The turkey is in the oven, Trey(my awesome grandson) turned 5 today, we are going to Crystal and Spencer's for a combination dinner, birthday party and game playing fun filled time.  Spencer's family will be there too!  I LOVE his family they truly are awesome people.

The best part about today is that this year, 2009, is almost OVER!  It has been a difficult year for my family but we have had some good things too.

Like our new grandaughter- Isabelle

Royal and Charlee's engagement 

This new year we look forward to the birth of Jessica's baby boy in March.  Royal's wedding on March 6th.  The birth of Crystal's baby the first of September.  Then Amanda and John start the fertility process in a couple of weeks so we very well could get THREE new grandbabies in 2010!  We are praying Amanda gets a BOGO!  That's "buy one get one free"!  She has a good chance of having multiples with fertility treatments and we think twins would be awesome!  But we will be happy with one healthy sibling for Izzy.

2009 brought a lot of tears and gray hair.  It was also a year of growth, learning and faith.  I'm so thankful for my family and especially for the Gospel and the promise of eternal families.  No matter how bad things may get it is that promise that out shines all the bad and makes life good again.  The Lord truly does love us!

I hope all of you have a wonderful new year!
