Nearing the end of a bad year

For anyone following my blog you have noticed I gave up on it last January. It was just getting too depressing writing about all the bad things that seems to be happening to us. Well, this has been a very tough year for our family but we are counting our blessing as well as counting down the days until 2010. Next year just has to be a better year than 2009 was. So I am excited to start up my blog again. Bigger and Better things are coming soon.
As say this as I sit here at midnight recovering from minor surgery I had today. Why shouldn't this be how our year ends...It starting with my husband, Kevin, having major spinal surgery last January.
Tomorrow we are expecting a big snow storm, not good since I still have things to do for Christmas. We still have not gotten our Christmas tree, yet. Kevin and Kelly went out after her church group's Christmas party tonight but the tree lot was already closed. So tomorrow will be xmas shopping, tree shopping, winterizing the backyard and then hopefully some scrapping time with my sister.
