A New Year

We are so excited to begin a new year in our home. We have many plans for this year including starting a family and starting and finishing an addition on the back of our home. We are looking forward to start a new year as healthy as we ever have before. Another one of our plans includes keeping the house clean on a daily basis. This one we are going to have to work on. With both Lee and I working 40 hours plus the cleaning usually gets pushed back until the weekend and then we spend all weekend cleaning and doing laundry instead of relaxing and spending time doing things we want to do. We end up having to clean with no option. So far we have done a really good job. I need to take pictures every so often so I make sure the house is clean. We just got the carport clean and backyard all cleaned and organized so this was a huge step in keeping the house clean and organized. I am not bad at cleaning but it is the organization that bothers me. I can not stand to be organized and right now I am not organized enough in everyone. Certain rooms are okay like the kitchen, living room, and one bedroom. On the other hand the other bedroom is the catch all and has turned into a mess. This is my next goal, to organized the back bedroom.
Heather I know you are going to be so happy to see this blog. You have been trying to get me to do this for a long time now so here it goes. We miss you so much!!! I can not wait to come see you again in May!! Oh by the way it will just be Lee and I not little ones (Koda and Lexy) Not because we do not want them to be with us. We just want a vacation!! If you know what I mean!!! We are going to miss them so much. Look at me already missing them and we are haven't left yet. It will be here before we know it.
Lee and I had a wonderful 2009 as we were able to go on a couple of vacations throughout the year. One just recently to New Orleans with Myles and his girlfriend to see the Florida Gators beat the Cincinnati Bearcats in what was Tim Tebow's last game as a Florida Gator. We had a blast spending time together away from everyday life. Thank you to Heather and George for allowing us to stay at your house and save a little bit of money.
We are hoping to start a family soon. We are just praying everyday that this will be the month we get to tell everyone but it just has not happened yet. We know it is coming we just do not know when. That is the hard part for sure. Lee's brother and sister in law are having a little boy and they are due very soon and we couldn't be happier for them. Our day will come soon!!
Mom and Dad are doing great. Dad gets to start his last year of broadcasting at germantown high school baseball games soon. He is looking forward to that. Mom is trying to understand that her baby is a senior and she is about to have an empty house. That's why she keeps wanting us to get pregnant so she has something to keep her busy. LOL I talked to Matthew today and he is about to start his 6 am runs and workouts with his baseball team before school. They do this to get ready for baseball that is about to start. We went from football now to baseball and this season is going to fly by so quick. It is Myles' senior year and Matthew's senior year. It is going to go by so fast. Mark and Jessica are doing great. They are changing things at home all the time. They are so funny. They recently sold their couch and bought a new one with 2 chairs to go with it. Now they are wanting to add draps to the windows. Jess called today wanting know if it is cheaper to buy the material and then hem them or just to buy them from the store. I told her if she gets it on sale I would bring my sewing machine over there and show her how to sew. This should be fun!!!
I can not wait to build the addition onto the back of the house so I have an extra room for sewing and crafts. Lee said we need a bigger house. I agreed. LOL. We have to build the addition before we can sell it though. We may want to stay a little longer once we do the addition. Which is fine with me. I do not want to have to move right after we build it. I would like to enjoy it for a little while at least.

We hope everyone who reads this it finds you in great spirits and we hope you will set new goals this year to follow and for everyone we wish a happy new year and a healthy and safe 2010.
