A Year in Review

I'm just so overwhelmed thinking about 2006 and what a wonderful year it was. During this time last year, our lives were about to change... that's when we found out we were going to have a baby! I had a couple of rough months in the beginning because I was super nauseous but then it turned out to be a really easy pregnancy. I felt great, and had tons of energy. I did pilates, laid out in my bikini up until 9 months and even took a whirlwind trip to Europe with my buny at 5 months. Matt was lucky I was pregnant. He'll tell you, he could barely keep up with me. I'm so glad we took that trip. I still think about our trip a lot. I'll just be laying in bed and I will think about it. We had the time of our lives.

I feel like I'm always having the time of my life though. Even doing the simplest of things. Perhaps for most, my life is nothing too exciting, but for me, I feel like life is great and I love living it. Most of all, I'm thankful for my family and our friends. I'm thankful for the beautiful places I've gotten to visit: all around the country, Tahiti, Brazil, Canada, and our recent European vacation. Oh yeah, and Mexico. I'm thankful that this year, Matt and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. We also met our 5 year goals that we had set when we were first married. That was really exciting for us and it was a humbling experience because we know that we couldn't have done it without God in our lives. And to think that there is still so much of life to live, so much to look forward to. Starting our family. New things. Great things. Life is good and then some.
