Goodbye 2008...Hello 2009!

I'm so excited to think about the many things that are in store for Casey and I in 2009! The biggest and best being the birth of our daughter! We can't wait to meet her and kiss her face! Daddy wants to "nibble on her toes"! The due date seems to be fast approaching and although there is some anxiety that overcomes me at times, I think I'm ready. Some may say you are never ready, but I feel differently. Casey and I have been together for close to 8 years and we have an unbelievable marriage. We are best friends. I am so grateful for the many years we have shared together and look forward to many more. We are in complete awe of how life changing having a baby will be. We aren't ignorant to the fact that it will be hard work. We know that it will be a learning process for us both. We are ready to take on the challenge! It's funny how things change. Our source of enjoyment now comes from simply being with one another, watching/feeling my belly move, and talking to each other about what it's going to be like.....as parents.

Things I'd like to accomplish in 2009:
~Deliver a healthy baby girl!
~Learn each day about being a better wife and mother.
~Exercise more.
~Spend more time with family and friends.
~Become better at money management!!
~Plant a tree...sounds funny, I know.
~Laugh more.
~Worry less.
~Watch my friend get married!!
~Go on a vacation.
~Say "I love you" more.
