The Best of 2008

Am I the only one that can hardly believe that in just 90 short minutes, we'll be saying goodbye to 2008 and hello to 2009?!! Wow! I swear it seems like just yesterday that we were bringing in 2008. This year brought such high hopes and expectations as "the year of new beginnings", and I must say, it did live up to those expectations. There were so many memorable highlights for Ken and me:

• Jump starting the year and our life together as husband and wife
• My 30th birthday
• Finding, purchasing, and moving into our first home
• Furnishing/decorating our home together
• Participating in an historic election that resulted in the first black President of the United States
• Celebrating/hosting numerous holidays here in Nashville at our house, including Christmas with our entire family
• And last but not least, establishing our own family traditions and memories that will last a lifetime
  

Although 2008 came and went in a flash, it brought with it many firsts and joyous memories. As always, it's sad to say goodbye and close another chapter in life, but it's exciting to welcome in a new year of endless possibilities and abundant faith. So we give a warm welcome to 2009 and a fond farewell to 2008...it's been a great experience.
