2010

Here I am on New Year's Eve, hanging out with 4 wild girls (Avery has a friend over) and my sweet little boy who currently has a fever and is super whiny. I am surprised at how ok I am with the fact that we are doing nothing, Eben's already in bed and its 8:10. The girls have already started a movie and turned it off, and are now listening to Miley Cyrus' cd. I'm chilling in the living room typing this up and thinking how calm it surprisingly is. I'm tired, I'm cold, Ive done a load of laundry, loaded and started the dishwasher, and swept the kitchen and dining room. I was already tired, now I'm officially pooped.
Aaron is at the pro-bull riding at the Trac. He went with my Dad and brother Brandon. He wont be home til' after 9:00 or so. So for now, its just me and these crazies. We have snacks out, yummy raspberry lemonade, chocolate, and oh yea chocolate.
We were supposed to go to my parents and have a get together there, but we cancelled those plans, and then some great friends of ours (Peterson's) invited us over, which is even more tempting considering she has a chocolate fountain going on over there. However I didn't get her message in time and had already put Ebenator to bed. So here I sit in my torn jammies (the ones I want are in the dryer...I'm waiting), listening to the girls get in and out of the peanut butter m & m's and thinking that I cant believe its almost 2010. Can you? I think back 10 years ago...In 2000, I was 22 married for two years, with NO children mind you. We were living in Prosser at the time which sucked, no offense to my in-laws but living there then wasn't a happy time, and we weren't active in the church. We were about to embark on a whirlwind of a spiral that was out of control. It wasn't a good next few years. So many things happened...so many things Id like to forget, but so many great lessons and humbling experiences learned.
In 2002 we would finally become parents, we would go through the temple and become an eternal family, 2004 daughter #2 came along, 2006 daughter #3, and then finally in 2008 we welcomed a son. This coming year is lots to look forward to, 2010 offers great things. In February Avery turns 8 and will be baptized, March I'm heading to Washington D.C. a surprise from very sweet and amazing people in my life, May I turn 32, in June Aaron will finally have his R.N. and I cant wait, July we are going to Utah (if all goes well), and in August 2010 we will welcome baby #5. What can we say we are sticking to the even years.
All in all, it looks to be a very fun, never dull moment, exciting adventure that the Moses Family soon will start together as a family. Looking forward to it all. Hope your New Years is a great one. Enjoy.
