I didn't send one with my Christmas cards this year (a first in many)
so I'll share it here.
so I'll share it here.
------------------------------------------
2009 was an incredible year for me, especially from a human-connection standpoint. I have always loved people. I am facinated by personalities and love to learn from and interact with others...always have. So when I joined Facebook in January, I was blown away.
I was back in touch with people I thought I'd never have contact with again. I was back in touch with people I had completely forgotten about. I had an easy way to share my life with my online-only friends. I spent some time actually missing some people. When we reconnected, I remembered the reason we were friends in the first place, and I was lonesome for their actual phyical position in my life. I have made peace with web-only relationships, though. Our communications will never be the same, and for that, I am grateful.
In regular news, we had a regular year.
Cory worked his ass off.
I worked my ass off (had a lot of listings; but not very many sales...'tis the market today). I spent a lot of time raising my kids.
Cole successfully entered 7th grade, got his Gun Safety Permit, and went hunting (and shot his first doe).
Matthew is a typical four year old. I love this age of learning. Right? Everything is a question..."Mom. What letter does 'shoe' start with?" "Mom. What words start with 'L?'" "Mom. What is that word?" "Mom? How do you spell sister?"
Jack is...Jack. You already know him, I think. Love personified.
We're happy. We're super healthy (thank God). We're ready to kick some butt in 2010.
I wish you love this holiday season. I wish you comfort, and warmth, and happiness. God bless.
Remember, Christ, our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we have gone astray,
O tidings of comfort and joy!
