Saying Good-bye to 2009

 I have spent a lot of time this holiday sitting in this chair.  It is my favorite spot this year.  I love how the lights sparkle off of the decorations.  And from this spot I can see my whole living room with the tree, the toys and even a bit of the outside neighborhood with their houses decorated and glowing in the warmth of the season.

Today, I have been trying to think of how best to say good-bye to 2009, but nothing is coming to me.  So, instead I will just write a little post thinking of the things that have happened this year.

In some ways it wasn’t the best year, but in others it was a great year.  I said good-bye to an old Friend and a beloved Uncle.  We missed out on our annual trip to Regina due to changes in the economy and school. But, were blessed with a surprise trip East from the Regina contingent. We made it on our annual trip to the Beach  and still felt like it wasn’t long enough. Our annual trip next year is hoping to be a little longer.

We had a wonderful week with our Cousins from the South in Ottawa and were thankful that we were able to attend a 50th Wedding Anniversary of our Aunt and Uncle. We were blessed with a trip to California to meet friends that I only ever dreamed of meeting.  And a little visit to Disney was just icing on the cake.

I finally took the chance and started my long dreamed of photography business, it has been a good year for making dreams come true. I am thankful for all the families, Moms-to-be and new babies I got to capture.  I am also thankful for being chosen to document some wonderful weddings and beautiful women. Without all of you, my dreams would still be just that, dreams.

I hope that 2010 brings me closer to some of the friends I have made and been reacquainted with in 2009.  My hope is that it brings happiness and joy to all my friends and family.  And that we are all blessed in the Year to come.  And a thank you to all my readers, you have all been there for me and I wish you all the best that 2010 has to offer.  I will be celebrating my 5th Anniversary of blogging next year, it’s been a wild ride and oddly enough I have now been blogging longer than I was in High School.

Until 2010,

BeachMama.
