3 Years.....

It's hard to believe that Ryan and I have been married for 3 years now. It seems like only yesterday that I said "I do". We have had a lot of adventure in the past 3 years...here are some of the highlights~
* Went to Puget Sound for our Honeymoon
* Hawaii for our one year anniversary
* Bought a house
* Helping my mom as she digresses deeper into Alzheimer's
* Had a dog ( Max) but realized its not the dog I am allergic to but the grass in the back yard
* Ryan got accepted to Law School ( but put it on hold for a while)
* Started the photography business
* Now we are thinking about a family!

Welcome 2009

I'm still not sure how I feel about another year wizzing by us....where is the time going? I am sure that this year will be another of month after month just going by..but my hope and prayer is that this year things will be different. This year will bring many changes...one of which I am going to be 35. I am still not sure how I feel about this milestone birthday..but I am going fully embrace it and enjoy every minute of it! I pray that we will have made a difference in the lives the others, that we would give more and be dependent on God ( it is so easy for us to be dependent on ourselves when things are going along good) There are several things that I would like to do this year...so I have yet again compiled a list..this time I kept it to 20..but I can add more if I feel the need!
1. LOVE my HUSBAND ..honor him, cherish him, pray for him...
2. Pray Daily and more consistently

8. Complain less

10. Eat at a new restaurant once a month (different types of cuisine)
11. Write in a journal at least once a week
