Happy New Year!!!

Unfortunately I had to work on New Years Eve so it wasn't much of a celebration for me but looking back at this last year I am amazed how quickly time goes. It has been a great year and me and Craig have been really blessed. We love our home and the memories that we are making with our kids. We feel very lucky to live in Bartlesville with good jobs and near our family who are such a great help to us. Austin loves spending time with his grandparents and cousins. We were especially blessed to add Mikayla to our family this year and what a sweet baby she is. I am just feeling so happy that everything in my life seems perfect. I have nothing to complain about because I have been so richly blessed: with the gospel, a wonderful husband, two sweet kids, and a great extended family. Looking on to 2009 there are many exciting things I am already looking forward to. There are also many things that I want to accomplish and goals I have set for myself. But mostly to sum it all up, I want to follow President Hinckley's prophetic counsel to "stand a little taller, be a little kinder, be a little better, each of us, than we have been." Thank you everyone for the blessing you are to my life and I hope that 2009 is a great year for you!!!
