Welcome 2009!

2009. Yep, it's here. The end of 2008 flew by and was full of "interesting" twists for us. I'm looking forward to the New Year and the surprises it will bring. I know it will be full of challenges but with the right attitude, they can make me stronger.

In this New Year, I want to continue to refocus my time and energy on what is most important in life. I have several goals I want to accomplish and hope to start chiseling away at each one this year.

We had a great Christmas season with our families. We spent time in Cleveland with my in-laws and in Petoskey, MI, with my family. Here are some pictures to re-cap Christmas in Chicago:

Wishing you and yours a happy and prosperous 2009!
