Wow, I am excited to see what 2010 holds for our family. It was good year but it's been a great decade. Here are some highlights from the last 10 years...
2000: I felt I was big(grown up) enough to move out of my Mothers home. I moved to the Valley to live with some friends..which lead me to living in about 4 different apartments with in one year.
2001: I met the little boy who changed my life forever. My Cooper Ryan was born on May 21, 2001. He was 8lbs 5oz and I loved every bit of him. I never knew how much you could love another person until I held Cooper.
2002: I married the man of my dreams. May 4, 2002 Geoff and I were sealed together in the Mesa Temple. What an amazing day, I'm excited to spend forever with you, love!
2003: My sweet baby girl Kortlyn was born on March,17 2003. She is my bestest girlfriend. Geoff and I also took the big step of moving off the Mtn away from our families..to Phoenix. Our first little apartment was so exciting and we made great memories there.
2004: I took a job with the AZ republic delivering papers, Sun-Sun at 1am. It was great for the extra money. We also moved out of our apartment into a bigger condo in the same neighborhood that I delivered my papers.
2005: We bought our first home. So exciting, we moved out of our condo into a home of our own. We lived in Gilbert about 20 minutes away from my paper route. We loved our little house.
2006: We brought home our little hound dog..what a learning experience having a tiny little puppy around. In late 2006 I was involved in a car accident, I supposedly ran a red light(that to this day I swear was green) and was hit by an illegal citizen and flipped my jeep totaling it..on my way to deliver papers!
2007: I quit the paper route..it was great money but crappy hours! We moved out of the house we loved so much and into a more cost effective rental. Cooper started kindergarten, what a fun time. He loved school. I got pregnant with TWINS..I said TWINS, in case you didn't read it correctly!
2008: Our TWINS were born. Kynlee and Kaylee were born April 27, 2008..against my will! They came about 5-6 weeks early. People say its common for twins to come early..yes that may be true, but not mine..they weren't ready! I was right, they weren't, they spent about 6 weeks in the hospital. We moved out of our cost effective rental..into another cost effective rental with a yard and more room to grow..because we have 4 kids now! Kortlyn started Kindergarten and loved it for the most part..it was hard for her to adjust she wanted to be home with me most days and cried a little about it every morning..but once there she had a good time and did well. Cooper started first grade and loved it.
2009: Besides having more trips to the ER in one year, than we've had our entire life..nothing much happened. It was a quiet year, Kaylee dang near cut her finger off, Cooper started 2nd grade and Kortlyn in 1st. Geoff went back to work for the company he started with down here 7 years ago.
Its been a great 10 years, and I'm looking forward to the next 10. In these last ten years I married my best friend and met then fell in love with the 4 people I'm spending my eternities with. I wish you a Happy New Year and even Happier New Decade.
