An eventful year end

A lot has happened since I last blogged, so I will try to make these updates quick.  Averi's birthday party in our new house was wonderful.  She had a great time running around hitting balloons and squealing the whole time.  I tried to post a picture, but it didn't upload correctly.  Maybe later.  

We left the following weekend to go on a cruise with the youth leaders at church.  We went to Cozumel and Grand Caymans.  The weather was stupid, we saw a terrible car accident in front of us (that we were almost involved in) ... both men were laying in the road after their truck flipped several times and someone died ... God protected us.  For the most part, we had a good, restful vacation.  We did an AWESOME shore excursion where we got to ride jungle buggies through the jungle of Cozumel along the coast.  I've also included a pic of the beautiful waves crashing the shore line ... gorgeous!!  The same reason the weather was bad for the cruise allowed us to see this beauty.  God is cool.  Here's a couple pics.




Christmas was wonderful!  The entire Christmas season was "Beast" this year (as the junior highers would say :)  We went to Ohio for two weeks the day after Christmas and had a lot of fun.  Aunt Shelly, Chazz Daddy (U. Chuck), Alex, and Matae are driving down here Thursday because they want to check Greenville out ... they will probably move here soon and wanna check the place out, and because Alex wants to look at a school in Charlotte.
The new year has started off great so far!  God is awesome as always and I have such a sense of expectancy for great things this year.  I'm so excited to look back a year from now and count all of the miracles and blessings he has allowed us to experience.  

Things I look forward to in 2009:
- Spending another year with my amazing husband and celebrating our 5 YEAR anniversary!!
- Watching Averi continue to grow and mature into a wonderful, godly, precious young lady
- Seeing amazing things in the Junior High ministry
- Starting life groups with Jr. High
- The Bartee's moving down here (I'm stating this as fact)
- Getting a new niece or nephew
- Getting to produce cool new TV shows at work 
- MOVING INTO OUR HOUSE
- Having Christmas in our new house next year
