And then there was a year.

Where did the time go? Our boys, another year older; our marriage, another steadfast year; and our loved ones, another year all present and accounted for.

Melancholy I am not; but overwhelmed, amazed, baffled, wondering where the hell the time went? That I am.

A new dog. A new addition to the family of close friends. A month in Maine. Too numerous to count weekends at Lake Powell. Another group of 170 kiddos. A 30-minute commute for the best care and education of my oldest. A 5-minutes commute for the best care and education of my youngest.

Health. Two (seemingly and thankfully) stable jobs. Income. Food. Home. Medical insurance. Music lessons. Professional growth. Athletic outlets. New creative endeavors.

Safety. Freedom. Peace. Choice.

And thankfully with these and so much more, we start 2010.
