To the closing of 2010

This will probably be the final post of the year since I haven't been the best at updating the blog this year...

You always reflect this time of the year on what challenges you have overcome and the blessings that were brought to you... A year ago I was hoping for a better 2010 than it seemed I had in 2009... But now I seem to be doing the same in hoping for a better 2011 than we had this year...

Death seemed to be the theme for 2010 for my family... First, in the passing of my Dad on my birthday this spring... And with the passing of my Grandma (mom's side) just in Oct... They are missed daily... It just shows just how precious life really is...

We have had some fun times this year and things to be thankful for too...

Tony and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary and he surprised me with a fun getaway to the Castle Creek Inn (Bed and Breakfast)... 7 years... Its amazing how fast the time really goes anymore... It seems that just yesterday we were the crazy teenagers that fell in love in a Drama class in High School at the age of 15 and 17 hahahaha... And now 14 year later we are holding on to one another still in love... I LOVE YOU BUBBA!!!

Hayden turned 4 this year... And he is as sharp as a whip as ever... There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't make me laugh at some of the things he comes up with... I am so unbelievably lucky and blessed to be his mom and for the journey he has gone through to be in my (OUR.. sorry honey) life... Its amazing how the life of a child changes everything... And for the better... You can't imagine what life really was without them in it...

The year brought camping trips, Jazz games, Broadway shows, and great times with friends and family that I hope not only continue next year but we do more of..

As I finish reflecting on the year I can do it with a smile and know that I came out stronger with it... I hope the last month brings your family and mine happy memories and times together filled with love and joy...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Love to all
Kenz, Tony and Hayden
