What a year...

Wow, where did 2008 go? It is 2009, really? As my mom put it earlier today, "I still remember when everyone thought the world was going to blow up in 2000 from YSK!" Good point mom. 2008 was a wonderful and hard year all at the same time. There were a lot of things, good and bad, that happened to me and my family. Here is a recap of 2008:
Dallas and I kicked off 2008 in La Maddalena Italy
Dallas turned 30
We moved back to the states (Gainesville, Fl)
BIGGEST CHANGE-Our Presley was born April 23,2008
We became parents
We learned to function on no sleep
We learned to change diapers, swaddle, give a newborn a bath, breastfeed/prepare bottles, to have a diaper bag packed and ready at all times, but most of all how to trust our instincts.
Presley had a year of firsts-poopy diaper, walk around the block, night in crib alone, bath,toth, crawling, solid food, smile, giggle and now cruising furniture!
Dusty(brother) found a great job in Jacksonville, Fl
HARDEST THING- Kaci(sis) moved to Spokane, WA with only Katelynn to keep her company. HOwever, has a GREAT job and is loved by all who works with her!
Brent(brother)- found out he was going to Afghanistan, went to 3 months of training just to find out he may not go.
Crystal and Dylan(sister-in-law and nephew) had to move into a new house without Brent's help.
Brent won the NCO of the Region for Air Force (awesome honor)
Lisa and Keith(D's sister and her husband) found out they are expecting a baby in March 2009.
Dallas' Mom and Dad became grandparents
My mom and Dad moved to Washington DC and have settled into a wonderful house!
Dallas started Grad School and finished his first semester
And I started my new Beachbody business just before the end of the year.

Wow, what a year! What will 2009 bring? Well, Presley still has lots of "firsts" to accomplish, so we have that to look forward to!! We have a new neice to welcome to the world. We will be waiting to see about Brent's order to the desert. We will wait and see if Kaci and my parents move to new locations or stay in the jobs they are in. Lots to look forward to as we begin this new year.

So, cheers to the memories of 2008 and to the new memories to be made in 2009!!
