2009 Already?

How is it that 2008 is already over? Where has the time gone?

We had a great time ushering in the New Year. We hung out with 3 other couples and their kids. We had a wonderful time laughing, playing games, and keeping our super hero costumed kids semi under control as they stayed up and played well past midnight.

Our first day of 2009 has been pretty laid back and very enjoyable. Nothing is better than when you want to sleep in and your boys cooperate and sleep in too. Peace and quiet..... the best.

I had the pleasure of having lunch today with a dear friend that I rarely get to see because she lives very far away. But whenever we get the chance we love to chat, catch up, and enjoy time together. Wonderful friends can sometimes be so hard to find, but I have been so blessed to have many.

Tomorrow's task is taking down the tree and undecorating the house. :( This is the longest that I have ever left Christmas decorations up. I'm not sure why either. I just haven't wanted to do it maybe because I am not ready for Christmas break to end. I must subconsciously think if the tree is up surely there are more days of break left... right? ;) Well, I will come to grips with reality tomorrow and down goes the tree.

Today I am thankful for my husband that allows me to escape from the house and the boys to enjoy a 3 hour "lunch" with a girlfriend.
