2010

Wow what an amazing year it's been! I must say it's been one of the best of my life. Our year in a nutshell - We have our health, we have our families, we have our friends, we have our jobs... we have eachother - we have our beautiful baby boy!

Chad and I have been very fortunate this year in the way of our health. After a couple years of struggling for both of us this year we got a break!

My parents moved 250 miles closer to us! Unfortunately Chad's brother and sister in law moved like 400 miles away from us. But we have our families. This year we didn't lose any family members - in fact we gained several! We of course gained our son. Cody and Brandi welcomed Aspyn. Ivy and Jeff had baby Kelsey. And Elizabeth and Nic brought baby Bowie into the world! On top of that some of Chad's family found him on facebook! Pretty big family expansion this year!

We have found out who our true friends are this year. They have been there for us and love us. We are thankful and love them as well. A lot of our friends also had babies this year which is really cool too!

Chad and I also have our jobs, which in this economy more than ever we must be thankful! Our jobs provide food on the table, a roof over our heads, heat in the winter and relief from heat in the summer, diapers and all the other baby necessities and also quite a few extras in our lives.

2010 marks our 10 year anniversary of being together and 8 years of marriage. This year was really nice for us as a couple - we've grown closer and have experienced so many things together. I love Chad and I'm so happy he is the father of my son - he is a wonderful daddy and Jadon loves him so much!

Mostly this year was awesome because it started off (Jan 6th to be exact) with the knowledge of our pregnancy and then the welcoming of our heats desire! How much more of a dream come true could Jadon be? He really completes life. What an amazing gift being a parent is. I know there will be challenges but that's ok, it's worth it. Every day he wakes up healthy and happy we are blessed!

I hope everyone else has had a wonderful year as well and if not then I hope 2011 brings you better days!

Cheers to 2011! Goodbye 2010 - you will be remembered!
