Goodbye 2009!

Well as the year comes to a close, it makes me very happy to realize that this past year everything seemed to go our way. Here are some of the really exciting things that happened in 2009 for the Shepard Family.

• Laina joined our family
• We purchased our first home in a beautiful neighborhood that I lovingly refer to as Stepford
• Dan won the award for sales person of the year in his job!
• We had a new neice join us, Alex and found out that a new nephew is on the way in 2010
• Many of our friends also expanded their families (it was the year of the baby)
• Dan's Grandmother successfully navigated her way through 2 surgeries within a few months of each other and is on the road to a full recovery
• Both of our extended families have been lucky enough to be healthy, happy & employed

There are many more things that made this a great year for us but this is just the few highlights. Hope you were as blessed as we were this year. Hope you have a wonderful New Year's! Goodbye 2009!
