Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Happy New Year everyone! Wow, 2009. I can't believe it... But I must admit, I did have a very hard time letting go of 2008.

So much has happened to us.

To say that 2008 has been a good year would be an understatement. This year has been so monumental. I reflect back through the months and am amazed at how incredibly blessed I am. I count my blessings every day. I am never owed this life and I remind myself daily never to take it for granted.

I am so thankful for Matt, for the love he constantly expresses to me, for teaching me how to begin, for teaching me how to love completely and without fear.

He has taught me so much in so little time... I really look up to him. I am so lucky, so thankful, so blessed to have him in my life. I am so proud to call him MY husband.

Those of you who are lucky enough to experience such a truth in love, embrace it, revel in it, thank God everyday for it. I know I do.
