Happy New Year! Wow, can it really be 2010?
I love a new year, everything is so fresh and shiny and new! Full of possibilities!
2009 had lots of fun travel, great family times, some personal accomplishments and more making it a pretty good year overall.
So what will 2010 bring? January brings flag football for the Chooch and a trip to the north for Osto's bday with no kids(!). Big plans...not so sure. I think they will have to do with staying in the state, saving money, home improvements and maybe a big garden. Of course there is always the eat better, work out more, feel better stuff (but I don't count that)!
I'd love a getaway with Mom, more time with my girlfriends and ski trips with the kids. Most of all I hope 2010 brings little to no drama (unless it is the lotto winning kind) and just the small successes of daily life that make me feel good!
All the best to you in the new year! I hope your dreams come true!

Happy New Year and a look back...
January 1. The new year brings a lot of expectations and resolutions and renewed vigor to accomplish goals or change all those old bad habits! It also always makes me think back on the past year, let's recap 2008...
Of course, there were many more things than these, but these are just some of the highlights. Sadly, the last few months of 2008 brought a lot of loss to our families. My cousin, Michelle, lost her husband Erick to cancer at the age of 39. Papa Hunter died at the age of 87, and Osto's uncle Andre died from an unexpected heart attack at the age of 59 while hiking in Arizona. We'll always remember these people fondly.
So now its on to 2009 - I hope you slay your dragons or whatever and have a great year!
