New Year's Eve...

Marti text me at 7:30am this morning to tell me the roads were bad and not to come to the gym. Yea me. So we both went back to sleep and slept until 9am. It had snowed about a inch and was a wet snow. I took a shower and headed outside. The birds had been squawking all morning about not having any food. I cleaned the front and back sidewalks off and started on the driveway. I figured since I did not go to the gym, I should get a little cardio work in. I got about a 1/4 for the drieway done before we had to leave. We had to pick up Jojo and head to BJ's for some shopping. The roads by then were clear and dry. We did our shopping and headed back home around 2:30pm. Jojo laid down for a rest, not a nap, but a rest. I went out and finished cleaning the driveway. It only took about an hour to finish and was all melted by the time I finished. Kim was coming over for dinner after she got off work. she called at 6:30pm to say she would be another hour and for us to go ahead and eat. We had chicken and salad. After dinner, I went downstairs to begin cleaning and Beth and Jojo watched Tinkerbell. I think I got the better end of the deal. I was able to watch 2 of the 3 bowls games on today, but am waiting for the 4 games on tomorrow. We are not doing anything tonight and will be asleep by the time the new year rolls around. This year had been an up and down year for us. We took a really big hit on our income and had to look really hard at our spending. We were still able to take 4 trips this year. I made it successful one year cancer free and the future looks for many more. We welcomed a new member to our clan, Rylee, but had to see the twins returned to their birth mom. We were able to see Kyle play football and grow into the start of the teen years. Payton increased his vocabulary with Aunt Beth teaching him to say " I only 2' when he gets into trouble. Jojo was very active in school and is really into the princess stuff this year. We were able to spend time with family and friends and enjoyed every moment of it. So as 2009 come to a close we want to say Happy New Year to all our friends and family and look forward to an even better year next in 2010.
