Long time no see

Well, it has been a very long time since I have posted anything on our blog. Tom and I are taking part in 21 days of prayer and fasting with our church that started this past Sunday and ends Jan. 31. Part of my fast has been to give up facebook for a while....if you know much about me you will know this is a hard thing for me to do. Tom is thrilled, he hates my facebook time/addiction (which ever you would like to call it). We are also praying a believing for something big to happen for us in 2010.

As far as a tribute to 2009, here are a few wonderful things that we experience in the past year.

1. We embarked on our first year of marriage

2. We traveled to many places such as Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Georgia, and Mexico.
