2009

For some reason I always dread this time of year. A lot of you know that the whole New Year's celebration is NOT my favorite. I've never really known why, but I think it just has to do with Christmas being over .. heading back to school .. and so on ...

Well, now that my tree is down and decorations are put away, I can get focused on the year ahead. I am sure it will be A LOT less hectic than last year for us. Renovating the house, the "speed move" - it was crazy.

I can look ahead to a new season of American Idol (starting January 13th) ... and finishing my tenure as "PTO Mom" at Hatton School. My main wish for 2009 is that my family and friends remain healthy and happy.

In closing ... I wasn't going to load up my blog with more photos ... but there were some from Christmas that were so great I had to share them with you all .. ENJOY!
