I pretty much think 2010 is going to rock!

Honestly, I don't normally care much about the new year. I do love Christmas and the holidays in general, but the fact that another year is approaching doesn't really do much for me. People look at the new year as a fresh start, but I've always thought if you really need a fresh start, you don't need a year to pass to get it. A year passing is just another year; however, my opinion has definitely changed because I am really looking forward to 2010...for much more than the obvious reason! :)

There are so many things going on for myself, my family and my friends that makes me so excited! First of all - I turn 30. And for the first time, I'm not really scared of it. I'm really happy where my life is - a great husband, a beautiful home, a wonderful group of family and friends and an awesome job! PLUS A BABY! That rocks! My BFF's Jessica and Lori also turn 30! So you know what that means - TONS of AWESOME birthday parties! My BFF Anne Marie is getting MARRIED! I am so very happy for her and cannot wait to see her walk down the aisle! I know she is going to be beautiful bride! That means there's also bridal showers and a bachelorette party coming up! WOO HOO! I also know that there will be many other celebrations, as friends find new jobs, graduate school, buy homes and start their families. And that's just what I know about - think of the great surprises to come!

The main event (at least in my life) will be the birth of our baby. But there are also so many family and friends that are also expecting right now - including my cousin, a couple of my sorority sisters, and several of my friends - that 2010 will be the year of the babies!

I feel we have all been so blessed in our lives, even though there have been hardships and trying times. When I think about all the good going on right, I just feel so much happiness and joy. I cannot wait for Baby Neighbours' arrival and I know, for me and Chris, that is the biggest blessing of all.
