Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


This holiday season has been great. My parents made it here before the snow (and back). The snow was beautiful Christmas morning and our family was together. I don't think Greg or I thought we would have to wait 5 Christmas mornings before we would have a little one to share it with. We received many things from friends, family and each other. But those are just things. I will love the memories of seeing smiles, hearing laughter and watching Trent eat wrapping paper.


I thought about recapping 2008, but I really do believe I would be typing, crying and laughing all day and I really don't have that long. So here are the highlights.



We started the year off Pregnant. (and hoping this baby would survive.)
By February we were going strong when I got the news that they were closing my center and then we suddenly lost Grandpa Willden. What a struggle but we made it through. The next big event was us moving into Grandma Willden's house. Then a short time later Trent came at 31 weeks instead of the standard 40 weeks. The next 2 months were a bit of a blur as we came and went from the hospital. Trent was going strong. We blessed him in September and by the end the month we lost Grandma Willden. Not long after we lost our beloved grandmother we began to worry about where we will go. That question is still in the air but we now have hopes and I have trust that the Lord will help us make the right choice.
I'm sure I missed some other highlights but those are the big ones.
Here are some random pictures from the holiday seasons.
