Wow! What an amazing 2009! The year ended quite well, but quite busy. I'll start with the move, yes, the move, we finally made it to our house! Thanks mom, dad, and Pat and Robin for helping us out. It was hard being apart for so long, but now it is worth it. We are loving the house and neighborhood. Lots of snow, but the girls are loving it. I think they go sledding at least once a day. Twisted Sweeties was much busier than expected, and that was fun to see that I could actually pull it off, but not by myself, of course. I think next year could be really successful if we tried. So, if anyone wants a job next season, we may be able to help. Then came the holidays. They sure went by quickly, but at least it gives us something to look forward to next year. I know most of you have heard all about our rocking New Years Party, but here is just a recap of our pictures. Neil sliced his finger tip nearly off, so his are the beautiful stitches above. My mom had to finish up the gumbo that Neil started so we could head to urgent care to get it taken care of. It was yummy! After the new year, I decided it was finally time to get a decent night's sleep. We had to use the Ferber method on Lily, but it is starting to work out. She had to cry herself to sleep for the first couple days, but she doesn't cry as much anymore, which is much easier on me. We are now on day 3 of sleeping through the night. By the way, Lily is going to be one in two months! Yikes. Now onto me. After seeing all my pictures, I've decided it is way past time to lose a couple pounds. I need to post these things to make them more legit. You are all my witnesses, and can hold me accountable. My goal is ten, but twenty wouldn't hurt. I also have made it a goal to enroll in school and get my degree underway. Trying to go back has to be harder than finishing in the first place. Tomorrow I'm going in to take a placement test, and I'm probably more nervous than I should be. I think I'm fine with the english portions, but the math part scares me to death. It has been nine years since I've taken a math class, and it has always been more difficult for me. Some of it is slowly coming back to me, but Neil is being extremly patient with the rest. Thank you! If any of the rest of you want to help me with some polynomials, exponents, and logs, come on over. Anyway, this is longer than I planned, I just wanted to post my goals to make them more official. I hope all your holidays were grand!

Wow what a year you have had!! Poor Neil & his finger. YIKES!!!
The girls are getting so big & prettier everyday. Just like their mama! :^)
Am so glad your business venture is turning out so successfully. but then I have tasted your baking & I am not surprised in the least!
The new blog background & picture up above look great!
Here's hoping that 2010 brings nothing but good news & even better luck for all of us! Good luck in school. Can't wait to hear how it all goes!
Congrats on finally getting into your new house! I can't imagine living apart like you guys did. Good luck on school. I'm going to be doing that next year when Jason is done. Math, yikes, that scares me too. What are you getting a degree in? Thanks for the New Years card, it was cute. Your girls are so beautiful! Have a great 2010!
What fun! so glad you are in your new house! And what a great thing to have a business! Good luck with school! I keep trying and trying to get back.. still haven't made it yet. And good luck with losing a few lbs (although I think you look fabulous!)
What adorable cute girls! And yes they are growing like weeds! Congrats on being busier than expected, when it comes to any business that is a good thing right? Anyway, good luck on all your endeavors in 2010! P.S. You mentioned wanting to see some of our hair bows, etc. and I was wondering if you might be interested in hosting a home party? That way you might get all your stuff free? Just a thought, if you want and have some time(yea right with 3 kids huh? lol), let me know!
Congrats! That is so exciting. The house not the yucky finger.
