I know I haven't posted in awhile but that's because I am still organizing ALL of our pictures from the holidays, and we just had such an awesome Thanksgiving and Christmas, I don't want to miss posting anything. Since I forgot my camera on Thanksgiving at Dad's, I need to copy over the CD my brother Rob gave me with theirs. And Christmas was just the best, there were so many of us packed into Dad & Helen's house! But that's why I haven't posted in awhile, and now it's going to be a huge job, but I'm excited to get everything up on our blog soon. And for all my brothers & sisters in Texas & Arizona, it's -5 degrees in Michigan today!! The girls and I have been having a wonderful 2009 so far, lots of exciting things have been happening, and we've just been busy trying to "keep on keepin' on"! - an old friend of mine used to say that and it always makes me laugh, kind of with a southern gansta accent :)
Barack Obama is now the President of the United States of America! If it weren't so cold out, I wish I could have been there. Washington D.C. is one of my most favorite places to visit. I feel so proud and patriotic when I'm there. It is also where my sister Becky received a kidney from my brother Rob several years ago. It's hard to watch the Inauguration coverage and not want to be there in the middle of it all. I want the girls to be a part of it too. I am excited for this new hope that President Obama is bringing to the White House and to America. And I feel that the most important thing we can do for our country is to be unified and supportive of our leaders, especially our President. We all need to do our part. Goodbye President Bush, thank you for your service!
