The close of 2008

I've never really been a big fan of New Years and I really don't get all that sentimental about the close of a year either. I am, however, grateful for the little things that have happened this year. Like the fact Andy still has a job. And we still have a house. And we still only have 2 kids. We didn't have any major catastrophes happen to us or our immediate family. We enjoyed time with our families and friends. As I look back on the year I can't think of one thing big or major that happened. And I think I like it that way.

It sounds like 2009 will bring in at least 1 baby to the Loveridge family (courtesy of Richele!) and if Kami makes my wish come true then we'll have 2 babies. 2009 will put Samantha in Kindergarten and Alex in Preschool and me in HEAVEN!!! 2009 will have Andy graduating from MBA school!! Yippee!! 2009 will have us paying off a lot of student loans! We are still holding out hope that 2009 will bring us closer to the possibility of moving to London.....but if not, that's okay. Instead maybe we'll be closer to buying a bigger house.

2008 got me in touch with a lot of old friends courtesy of this blog and Facebook. Proof that the internet CAN be used for good!! Thanks to everyone who reads and comments on my blog and keeps in touch with me and my family. See you in 2009!

I'm off to have a candlelight dinner with my husband in the comfort of our own home and then a prompt pre-midnight bedtime! Just the way I like it!!

Sounds like my kind of a New Years evening. Glad you had a good year and hope the best for you in 2009. Was nice to see you the other night at Reva Beth's.

That does sound like a good new years plan! And, your 2009 sounds like it will be pretty darn good! I'm excited for you. I feel the same way about 2008 - nothing big is fine as long as there is nothing bad.

So I read this post and thought...holy cow, Richele's preggers! WTF! I didn't know! You see, I didn't realize that you had responded to me from the last comment I made. I'm not good at following up on comments (I guess I really should click the little box that says email follow-up comments to blah, blah, blah!). How exciting! When is she due? It sounds like you will have a good upcoming year...hopefully the student loans will not put too much of a damper on the fun :)
