Run down 2009 - looking ahead in 2010

Let's see what happened in 2009:

1. Addie finished her first year of preschool
2. Both kids learned to swim with just a floatie suit
3. Both kids learned to write letters A,E,I,O,U,M,N,T,S (the rest to come in 2010)
4. Both kids learned to read CVC words
5. Adalie finished her 2nd year of speech therapy with raving reviews from her therapist
6. Admiral still loves movies, CARS and Veggie Tales.  With 'Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs' and 'UP' topping his movie list.
7. Adalie still loves horses, and her favorite movie is 'free willy' (she only gets to watch it from Chapter 25 to the end)
8. Admiral started preschool this year, along with Addie, well, until we removed them.
9. We started homschool a year ahead of when we thought - but it is going great.
10. I still design fast food restaurants, although not as many as I used to, due to the economy.
11. We are the proud owners of a minivan, and I wish I had bought one back in HS. 
12. Aaron's job has become more of an environmental engineering job with a majority of his time consumed with FEMA regulations.  I fear more of the same is to come.
13. I had a small fear of breast cancer, but the Lord has blessed us richly, and we don't have to worry for now.
14. We have great renters in all 3 houses, and they appear to be staying - yea.
15. Aaron and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.
16. Aaron and I both have gray hair - oh, and Aaron is losing his, so he is ok with it.
17. We had Christmas at our house this year, for the first time, my first to bake a ham and have jalp. cheese grits.
18. The new year arrived while I was asleep - that was a first.
19. And the best news of all, I had the privledge of leading one of my friends to Christ.  What a great year.

So, what's to come:

1. Texas Longhorns will soon be National Champions.
2. Dallas Cowboys will be in the superbowl.
3. Hopefully I will be typing soon that my parents are moving closer with my brother and his family.
4. I have started a new challenge for myself, to help with my diet ADD.  I am doing 12 diets in 12 months (with a new blog) in hopes of having a breast reducion in Jan 2011.
5. Aaron has been working on his new bod, and I am sure this year will be his year.
6. I am going to have to go back blonde to hide the gray in my hair, but when?
7. I predict we will remodel the rest of the bedroom, so our new furniture will shine.
8. I pray that I still have a job this year that pays the bills.
9. More homeschool.  The kids will hopefully be reading books by the end of the year.
10. We hope to travel with the kids a bit (not just to see my folks) but to Colorado and maybe Montana.
11. I hope I will not be recapping in 2011 the steps the US took to arrive at a socialst govenment, but you never know.
12. ....

I am leaving 12 blank because the possibilities are endless.  Sadly Aaron's vacation is over, and he has to go back to work tomorrow, so I gotta go.
