So, now that our fears over what they'd do about those cool glasses @ the Times Square New Year's Eve Party have been relieved, I suppose it's time to move on.
Quite honestly, I'm glad to see 2009 in the rear view mirror. Yes, there were some good things...our anniversary dinner in Charleston, the bittersweetness of Caleb graduating from high school and heading off to Belmont, Emily starting 9th grade, Uganda & Mexico, several other awesome dates with Denise, walks with Emily, Caleb introducing us to some great new music, getting to work with Jon Welch and an incredible team of volunteers and student leaders, deepening our relationship with Clint and Sacha, an awesome high school retreat, our highly successful Bucks for Benard project, riding bikes over the cooper river bridge with denise, meeting Nabwire Leah and Miriam Motto, making new friends like Pedro in Mexico and Jimmy and Benard in Uganda, several very fun lemongrass grenades shows, they joy of watching em march in the largest marching band in ky, Waffle House w/ Ben, Upbeat with Chad, good times hanging out with and being challenged by Scott, a fabulous 30 hour famine and getting to be there when the bikes we raised $ for were distributed to the pastors in Uganda, building my grill with Scott, Chad & Caleb (and breaking it in with Buck), seeing U2 in Chicago with my wonderful family...
...hmm, that's interesting. I fully intended this post to be a kiss 2009 gladly goodbye let's please turn the page kind of post. There were some crappy moments (including fearing at one time or another that both of my parents would not be with us in 2010). Instead, it's only served to remind me, once again, how truly blessed I am.
So...yeah. THANK YOU to everyone who made 2009 the joy that it turns out it was.
