So in closing you can see that 2009 had many ups and downs for us but am I happy? Yes. Am I loved? Yes. Am I thankful for everything I have? Yes. So as my hubby who works at 2am everyday sleeps and snores on the couch and my 3 year old who didn't get a nap today is tucked in bed sound asleep, I say Thank You Lord for my many gifts of all kinds that you have given me this year. It is 9:20pm and I am OK with saying Happy New Years everyone and better wishes for 2010! Goodnight
