The New Year

The New Year brings my long list of New Years resolutions. Blogging is on the list, and pretty high up on it! I have wanted to join this hobby for my own sake of documenting life. So, as much as I am excited for you to follow some of the happenings of our family, I am mostly excited to get down whats up in life for my own family's sake.
I am so excited for 2009. I have to say 2008 was kind of a mess. The list is long of our crazy life- Seth had a job change (from Intel to Microsoft), finished remodelling our Oregon home, sold our home, moved to Seattle, house hunted for 5 months, bought a home, Ellie had a major bike accident that put her in the hospital for a week, with recover for a couple weeks, the kids started new schools, Sam played soccer, Ellie started a music class while on restriction with a broken leg, Jayne turned two, Amy holds on to sanity, and well, the rest of the stuff is the day to day stuff. Our Christmas card was titled "We Believe in Miracles" because of the amazing blessing that counteracted all of the crazy events this year. So I look forward to 2009, realizing we survived 2008.
