What an amazing 2009 we had. It was one of the greatest years for us! It also threw us a few trials along the way. I have decided and truly believe that everything happens for a reason. This past year we grew stronger, we grew closer and we are happier than we have ever been. We laughed, we cried and we lost hope in certain circumstances. But it still ended up being one of the greatest, most fun year of our life. From graduating from Columbia in the worst job market since the Great Depression, Jeff was searching and we were praying for a job offer to come along... to also trying to have a baby after 3 years of medicines, surgeries, and answers that just didn't seem right... we still had each other and knew again that everything happens for a reason. I don't know what I would do without the Gospel in my life. I am grateful for the power of prayer and faith because it helped us every step of the way.
As I post this, I know that we are definitely not the only ones that have gone through circumstances like these. My heart goes out to everyone this year... because we know that it is not easy. and I promise- it can only go upward from here. I am grateful for these experiences though because they taught me so much.
On that note... Jeff and I received great news on November 4th...
WE ARE PREGNANT!
We couldn't be happier.
Baby Wood- we are excited for you to come on July 10th and we will be waiting for an explanation on why you took so long :) (just kidding)
