Let's see it is hard to decided where the "year" starts for me...unlike the rest of the world I really consider my life to revolve on a SCHOOL YEAR calendar. Well the great start to my year was that I DID get to keep my JOB for another year. I was not going to be booted out for not speaking Spanish. Best yet I even got to stay in my own classroom. That really is a miracle for me, thus I have changed rooms 4 times in my 5 years of teaching now. Also Chris and I started began the year by adding to our family. That's right our sweet little boy Winston. He has brought us many ups and downs...but mostly ups! We have really enjoyed training and loving on this little guy more than anything. The only down fall is that um, Bob...she is not a fan of Winston. Bob's 2010 resolution is to live in a house with a barking dog and not hide all day! (but that is for another post and day)
The rough part of my year pertained to my grandfather. The down fall began when I had to rush home to help my mother with him. He was simply not listening to anyone; and well if he disliked some one I wanted it to be me rather than his own daughter who takes care of him. Therefore I guess I am the one who began his trip to heaven by asking him to move in with my grandmother at her nursing home. He was very much against this idea, but knew he deep down that it was the only thing. His at home care lady no longer could do him justice, and he was getting hurt still. Therefore away he went, very angry and upset but at least we knew he was safe. Soon after that mom informed us that grandpa was not well. Luckily we were able to spend his last few days with him before he passed. Thus making this the rough part of my year. After much love and support we have managed to now celebrate many things knowing he is up in heaven looking down on us!! I am sure he is over joyed and the next thing I shall write about.

Yes there were many other amazing things that were accomplished this year, but these three were the highlights. Here is to my wedding year! I hope it ends with an even larger bang than this one did...kind of hard to top a proposal, unless your having your dream wedding on the BEACH!!
I hope that you all have had some amazing ups to help out with the few downs that everyone faces in life. I know that 2010 will allow you each a chance to re-do or begin new things. Here are a few for me:
- to simply lose a few extra pounds before I subject my self to all my wedding guest on the beach for a week.
- to laugh every day (not hard with 6 year olds around)
- to not be as hard headed on things (mostly for Chris' sake)
- to enjoy every moment and make millions of memories
- to love those around me no matter what has happened in the past
HAPPY WEDDING YEAR TO YOU ALL!!
OR I SHALL SAY 2010!!
