I'm happy it's a new year, but I've decided that I'm not going to say that this year will be AWESOME. Why? Well, I say that every year and I end up setting myself up for feelings of failure when life doesn't always go according to plan.
My 2008 high points were;
Kendal graduated from High School and started college at WSU Vancouver!
Derrek went and studied in Mexico and had a great time!
Taylor and Jordan remained roommates and moved from Utah to Vancouver, WA!
Mike and I became empty nesters!
I had an AWESOME Primary class!
I love my job!
My 2008 low points were;
Mike's business slowed down.
My best friend was diagnosed with cancer.
I had to leave the twins I was caring for.
I couldn't go to BYU Education Week.
I took back my wii because I knew deep down I really couldn't afford it.
My weight is still an issue.
But overall for 2008, my disappointments were few and I have so much to be grateful for. So even though 2009 might not be awesome, it will be good and bad and I'm just fine with that, because I'm alive and that in itself is AWESOME!

I think it's great that you admit and list your lows of the year too...I should do that, so I would be honest with myself and get a reality check at what I need to do in the next year to change them into highs! I like it. Sweet nephew picture above...congrats!
Ashley-Love your blog, really nice backgrounds. I should probably write my lows of the year too! (and the highs)
What a sweet recap of your year- I am sorry for the downs and congrats on all of the ups!!! Such is life I suppose, without knowing sorrow, we cannot fully appreciate that which brings us joy.
