2010...Seriously??

I find it terribly hard to believe that it is a new year already. I feel like I have missplaced months worth of 2009...I think the years go faster the older I get!!

But...alas...here we are in 2010. We spent New Years Eve with some great friends...we played the washer game **the girls struggled a bit** and played some hand and foot...and as predicted...I totally dominated =] We also ate some great food...and today we start our new "fitness plans". Well, as I do every year...I am going to bullet point the goings on from our family in 2009...

• we got older


• some grew taller


• some successfully attempted to grow somewhat slimmer


• Cam was layed off for one week (but worked the rest of the year!!!)


• Cam got Bell's Palsy again =[


• Celebrated Mom and Dad Van's 40th Anniversary


• the girls finished 7th, 5th and 2nd grade


• we spent the 4th of July at the cottage, and the cabin


• we spent the day at Michigan's Adventure with the Nienhuis family


• Shannon was able to take a clinical position at Metro, and is now doing what she loves!!


• Labor Day the cabin


• the girls started 8th, 6th and 3rd grade


• teeth were lost


• teeth grew in


• Cam and Shann celebrated 14 years


• Celebrated Mom and Dad Nienhuis' 40th Anniversary


• there was much hunting...and much fishing


• we spent much time with family and friends


• we were loved


• we loved


• we stressed (some more than others)


• we laughed (a lot)


• we cried


• we took steps forward


• we took steps backward


• and...through it all we did our best to trust Gods plan for our lives

And now...we look forward with great excitement
to what the Lord has in store for us in 2010!!

Happy New Year to you and yours!!!
