What a busy holiday season...

I went out yesterday and did some more Christmas shopping! I picked up another awesome gift for Bob! I can't wait to give it to him, he's going to love it!! I have 2 piles in my dining room... Christmas gifts and baby gifts, I have gotten so many cute things from some people already for Josephine. Bob and I are going to put up the boarder in her room today. The room is really coming along, and once the baby shower happens then I can finish it up! :)

I feel that 2009 was a blessing... 2009 brought getting pregnant, finding myself, learning who my true friends are, happiness, and so much more. I would never look at 2009 in a negative light, But I am anxious for 2010... getting to meet my daughter with be my biggest blessing of the new year!! Not sure what my 2010 wish will be... since 2009 I wished to get pregnant and I got my wish and I am so very thankful.

Another positive note is that the settlement is FINALLY coming to an end. (thank goodness) we're now just waiting to hear about an amount and then it's over. We're hoping to build our dream house in 2010 ::crosses fingers:: but it's looking like it's going to happen and we're thrilled! We have been driving around looking at possible places to build in Swansea. We love Swansea, and want to raise our daughter and future children there too.

Work is great too! I got a bonus! Which is awesome! :) I didn't expect it... I was pulled aside and told that my hard work hasn't gone unnoticed and so I was getting a bonus! I was so excited! Plus on top of that we get a Christmas bonus too! I love my job. It's such a nice place to work. It's nice going to work every day and not coming home every day griping about it.
