2009

Happy New Years! I was thinking about Christmas letters. We got all of these beautiful letters and photos from friends and family. I managed to send out a very nice card/photo of Katherine. I didn't add a special letter of our life in 2008 though. Why, you ask?? It has mostly has to do with time and vanity.

Time...I don't have as much as I used to. It's not as if I am special, most parents don't have much time. Vanity...I don't think people would care about the letter I sent. At least those who read the blog are making that choice.


At any rate, 2008 has been filled with housing adjustments, new school adjustments and our ever busy lives. I have made several attempts and writing an update. But then I realize I had to go back and read the archives to be reminded. So hear it is!

January - we got off to a good start in 2008. Katherine could say all her ABCs by sight. January is cold

February - filled with a nice Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, my Granddaddy Dreier passed away. He has certainly been missed this year.

March-Katherine and I spent a wonderful week in Galveston with Grandma Kathy and Ray-Ray

April - Katherine was sick quite a bit. We did have a very nice Easter though in Mexia. Mimi and Pappa enjoyed having the whole family in town!

May - My birthday, we were working hard to sell the house

June - Sold the house!!! Moved in with Grandma Kathy, Frank got a HUGE promotion at work. School is OVER! My first year of teaching is finished.

July - I took a 3 week workshop on writing, Frank was super busy at work because of the promotion. Katherine took swim lessons and we visited my Grandmother Dreier for a weekend. I also mourn the loss of Grandmother Nutt on the 1 year anniversary of her death.

August - School started. Katherine's Birthday!mKatherine loves her new school and enjoys her new friends! We are now living in a rent house in Granbury, Texas (

September - Frank's birthday! Hurricane Ike destroys Galveston.

October - Great Halloween! We also moved to Granbury finally!

November - super Thanksgiving....Frank and I find out I am pregnant. VERY exciting. I spend Thanksgiving holiday trying to not fall asleep the second I sit down.

December - We start the month off raising $3500 towards Michael's scholarship. Frank and I celebrate our 7 year anniversary! Christmas is wonderful.









So, there it is....2008 was super! I am hoping 2009 will be even better. A baby is on the way. Yea!
