As I look back, we had a wonderful year. Sure, there were a lot more “down” times so to speak, but I really feel like all in all, the year of 2008 was a year of learning, success, growth, and finding the meaning of true happiness for myself and my family.
I am truly grateful, as gay as that sounds, for this blog. It was so fun for me to go down memory lane for awhile and remember the things that happened this past year. I was so excited to get my blog printed as a book, but very disappointed that blurb.com discontinued their service of this :( (If anyone knows anywhere else I can do it let me know!)
So to all of you that read my blog, thank you for being on this journey with me. Thank you for taking the time to leave me comments, they all mean so much to me. Thank you also for posting on your blogs as well. I have been inspired, uplifted, and comforted more than I can say as I have read about the people I truly care about.
Have a wonderful, safe, happy, and healthy 2009!!!

I didn't now that blurb.com quit doing books. I have heard about a site called www.mypublisher.com If you have a Costco membership you can access that site through costco photo for a discount. I haven't checked it out all thst closely yet though.
