2009

How do you start a year? I am full of hope. I tend to not make new years resolutions because they seem to always be broken after a few hours, days, or weeks. But I do like to reflect on where I was last year and where I am now in my life.

2009 will have several benchmark events for my family.

Mom will turn 60.
Kate will turn 25.
I will turn 30.
Lisa will be having her Jesus year. (she is turning 33).
I will be submitting my national boards. (I won't get the results until November).
We are having the first Schelbe Family Beach Blast.

I am looking forward to this year, what it will bring into my life...what it will take away from my life. The hope of a new beginning is like the first snowfall...everything is clean and white. It is truly majestic.

Here's to 2009 and what it brings to you and yours!
