Top 10 of 2008

Taking a cue from my friend, Elisabeth.......

2008 was truly a wonderful year and it was hard to narrow down my favorite things to 10. I'm sure once I'll post this I'll think of others and say 'MAN, that should've been on the list'

1. Visiting Puerto Rico with most of my family. - The waters and scenery were gorgeous, the food was wonderful, it was a trip we won't forget!

2. Seeing two of my wonderful daughters be accepted into a BSN nursing program - and the subsequent struggles resulting in one making it to 2nd semester and one changing her major.

3. Going to Vegas with Jerry for a long weekend - We didn't win but we had a wonderful time together

4. Spending 4th of July in Gatlinburg with most of the kids and seeing the first 4th of July parade held in the country every year.

5. Taking the girls and Maliyah to see The Nutcracker - Davin & I used to go every year when she was younger and I miss that but it was awesome to do it again with all the girls!

6. Seeing two of our daughters be Baptized and join our church and see Maliyah's dedication

7. Watching Maliyah's eyes light up anytime she saw or learned anything new this year

8. Being with my grandmother on her 91st birthday in Jan

9. Watching our kids have "the best Christmas ever!" and seeing the joy in their faces when they get something totally unexpected!

10. Waking up every day and knowing without a doubt that I'm blessed
