It's 2009! can you believe it? I know I can't. This year has passed by so quickly. Last night (the last night of 2008) I was reminiscing with Rob about the same time last year. We were not even dating at that time (18 days to the year mark of our first date). How life has changed in the last year: Rob and Katie have moved to IRELAND of all places, Steve and Amy have moved back to Utah, Jeff visited Ghana, I got married, we all grew in wonderful enlightening ways, I could go on and on... (have you ever noticed that people say that, but what it really means is that they have hit an end to the big things that they can think of off hand.) This last year was a wonderful year, I hate to see it go. But I will bid it a fond farewell and welcome in the new year with great expectations (especially to not see it end as that book does). So to end this post...
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. ~Benjamin Franklin
