So I feel I need to get something off my chest and hey what better way then blog it? I just wanted to say that today would be my parents 29th anniversary, sadly my parents are going through a divorce which has been really hard on all of us! I love both my parents very much and I thought that you know I'm grown up and out of the house and my parents divorcing would not have a big affect on me....boy was I wrong!! I know my parents have had their ups and downs and there has been a lot of hurt feelings back and fourth and if divorcing is going to make them happier then I am glad that it is done. I just hope that they realize that they are both great parents and even better grandparents! We are very lucky to have eachother! And I hope that we can all be civil and happy again! I love both of you very much Mom and Dad and I hope that the future holds happiness and forgiveness :0)

This year has been a tough and interesting one! Well where to start? Lets see... Ember and Rusty moved in Christmas Day 07 and just barely moved out. We had our ups and downs I am just glad they have found happiness again!

I worked at SDCH hospital for a year and really miss it! I miss all the people there! I quit back in August and started watching kids! I have some great kiddies that I watch! 

Beckem turned one, Corben turned 5 oh my goodness they are a handful and sooo much fun!! They are my life! I love them with my whole heart!!

This economy has been very hard on us! The gas prices were horrible! Our house mortgage is so ridiculously high! And Nick's job is basically in construction so it hasn't been the greatest! 

Oh and biggest news this year..... Branum is having a baby! He and his cute girlfriend are expecting! ahhhh I know the youngest is now having a little one! It was so shocking Ash kept telling me to stop joking! We are all excited and can't wait! Congrats to them two!

So let me just say for 2009 I am hoping for..... Nick's job to pick up, me to be able to start school and get more money coming in, re-finance the house, get Nick's Bronco going, lose 29 pounds (hehe), try and keep me and my family healthy, create better memories!! There's a lot that I would like to happen this coming year! We will see...

Grandpa and reindeer...

These yummy reindeer I made this year for our neighbors! I think they turned out cute!

Every year they light lumineers at the graveyard they are everywhere it is so pretty! we went to Grandpa Willis's grave! We miss and Love you grandpa!!
