Almost the end...

I always get reflective this time of the year, looking back on what was and beginning to look ahead to what will be.
2008 brought us
The purchase of our first home... and LOTS of home repairs!
We got our second dog, Bella who turned 1 year old this week.
We lost our cat Gus. He got out and never returned. He was so amazing and affectionate that we are SURE someone took him in but it still breaks our hearts.
A loss of hope in getting pregnant on our own, but a sense of togetherness in conquering this hurdle together.
The completion of my master's degree.
An opportunity to reconnect with friends and family we had fallen out of touch with.
All things considered 2008 was a good year.

Tomorrow I will look ahead to 2009 and the hopes and dreams we are placing there...

It sounds like, all things considered, 2008 was a pretty good year. I need to sit down and take stock of things.

Good luck in 2009
