Happy New Year!

I think that New Year's is one of my favorite holidays... only because it makes so much sense! The whole celebration is at night and then you actually get the entire next day off (I say this in my sweats having just finished a bowl of peanut butter Captain Crunch at 10:30 in the morning...) We had a nice time last night and went out to dinner with our friends Matt & Samantha. The drinks were definitely flowing at our table, only they were water, milk and coffee so that goes to show how our party ended up. I am surprised I made it to the actual countdown as I have been feeling really tired trying to catch up on sleep since we flew back home late Sunday night.

I am really excited that it is officially 2009 as there are so many wonderful things in store for us. Not only do we get to meet our baby girl in May, but also Marshall will at long last be receiving his doctoral degree in June! It has been a long haul for him and I couldn't me more proud of his hard work, spirit and dedication in achieving this goal. Also, this year will also "reveal" where we will be settling down (once Marshall gets his first job) and also might even end up in us purchasing our first home together. All of this is so exciting and I just really want to enjoy the journey of it instead of being fixated on the destination. Happy New Year to everyone!
