Too Busy to Blog

What a month it has been! For that matter, what a year it has been! I have many pics to post and much to write about. But, for now I will make an end of year list for things I am grateful for in 2008.
Good Things:

1. We were blessed with the best baby ever, Cullen Michael Kelley. When I found out I was pregnant with Cullen I was in a sad state of being. I was all confused after my dad died and was wallowing in self misery. I didn't know who I was or what I believed and I certainly didn't want any more kids at the time. Then I found out I was pregnant in late January and the pregnancy made me want to sort myself out and thank goodness! I think I am the happiest I have ever been and Cullen came to us healthy and happy. He is so good to me! He only cries when hungry, he smiles all the time, he sleeps!!! He has these amazing blue eyes and a cute little nose. I couldn't ask for anything more!!!

2. I have grown so much spiritually this year. I am so grateful for my wonderful family and friends who helped me so much. That's one of the main things that has helped strengthen my testimony.

3. My first born, Tristan was baptized in August! We were so proud of him and he was proud of himself.

4. We got another cat, Ginger!

5. Our business has taken off this year and we are so grateful for that! It was pretty despairing in the beginning but, through hard work, prayer, patience, it's happening!

6. I have come leaps and bounds forward in my goal of being more patient. Though I still have a ways to go.

7. I said no a lot this year.

8. I got my new living room furniture set!!

9. I got into contact with lots of my old friends from COJ!!! So, exciting, as COJ will definitely rank in my top 5 of best life events.

10. I got to vote again. I love voting! Even though we ended up with a new president that scares the crap right out of me. I wonder if he's an alien...sent to take us over?

11. I am grateful that my husband makes it possible for me to stay at home with our children. I wouldn't have it any other way. Even if I wanted to work(who would want to go sit and work for someone else all day???) I wouldn't because I believe when you make these children, it's your responsibility to raise them, not a babysitter. Most people can make it on one income if they really try. So, yeah for Jeremy who makes it possible for me to always be with our kiddies!!

I have a ton more that I am grateful for but who wants to listen to me all night, right?

I had the freakin gas guy over today. Was gonna cook lunch but he decided to disconnect my stove and leave it in the middle of the kitchen floor instead. Lovely. Finally got the stupid carbon monoxide/gas detector problem solved though. Now, I have an electrical problem. Why isn't there an electrical alarm thingy. Now, I don't know what to do with myself. My whole day is thrown off...crap a freakin dog!!!
