"Happy" New Year

Hello 2010.

It's a bittersweet greeting to welcome the new year. It's going to be a lot different of a year than we expected. Instead of welcoming in a new part of our family into this world, we are still grieving and saying goodbye. All the while trying to hold on to hope for the future. A future we shouldn't even be contemplating at this point. But, we cant change the path of our lives. We can't stop living. We have to try to look ahead and live each day.

2009 was both a blessed year and a terrible one at the same time. Most of it we are glad to leave behind. Some of it will never leave us (and we wouldn't want it to). Our past is what makes up who we are. It's woven and ingrained into our lives and helps to shape our future. A future we sometimes wish we could peek into to know what to expect, but, we unfortunately cannot. Or, maybe that's for the better that we can't.

We have many hopes and dreams for 2010. As you can imagine our biggest dream is of a family. Will 2010 be the year that our dream finally comes true? It was supposed to be. Maybe it still can be.

Here's to hoping for a wonderful 2010. For us, and, for you all!

I'm with you! As we rang in the new year while standing in the middle of the street listening to Rodney Atkins since the new years song which I can't spell exactly. Auld Lang Syne? I laughed, cried, and didn't know exactly how to feel.

Still don't. Here's to babies in 20101 If not, then there is a sweet consolation prize!
