January

Well 2009 is off to a good start. For New Years, Matt's brother, Andrew, and his wife, Lauren, were here visiting on their way back from vacation in Florida. They helped ring in the new year with us, along with some of our great friends that we've made down here!
My sister, Kristyn, and Brian came down for a short, but great visit. It was the first time any of my immediate family has been to the house (at least since we officially moved into it), so I was excited to have her come, and to visit with them. We turned a short visit into a mini vacation. Lol.
In December I had had an abnormal test results that showed pre-cancerous cells , but luckily the results came back benign. I just have to keep an eye on things, but everything should be fine.
I took a weekend trip to visit my friend Kim in Wilmington, NC. It's really nice there, and we had a great time catching up on things.
We made a quick visit down to Florida to visit with Matt's grandparents. We had a great visit with them, and I also managed to finish a book that I had been working on for a while.
Matt was baptized! I was so proud to watch that. It's been amazing to see how he went from having no faith to where he is today, and to watch the transformation that it's done to him and to our marriage.
This past weekend was my friend Christi's baby shower. Her baby Eli will be here soon, and we're all excited to meet him.
That's basically the month of January all wrapped up for you....Looking back on it, I didn't realize it was so busy!! Other than that I have just been working, and during my free time loving my time with Matt and some of our wonderful friends =).

Starting a blog

So, we don't have any children to post pics and updates of yet, but I thought this would be a nice way to keep people up to date with the latest going on in our lives. Feel free to check back from time to time!
