To my "little" brother...I am so proud of everything that you have accomplished. I know Mom is too!! Seth couldn't ask for a better person or Uncle to share his birthday with. I can't wait until you are safe back on American soil and we can come see you!!

And to my sweet little guy Seth. I love you so very, very much. I am the luckiest person to have such a happy, caring & sweet tempered son. Always remember that you are my number 1 little guy!!

I loved not only working with Pamela's sketch but the super cute kit called Bliss by K Studio. Next week's sketch is another awesome one and I will also be hosting a challenge in the group so make sure to check us out. {Scrapbook Challenges on MySpace} I think I am pretty much the only digi gal there so it would be cool to see some more digi ladies join in the fun.

2009 One Little Word

Last year I knew right away my OWL would be strong. I was facing our first deployment since we married, my little brother's first deployment since he joined the Army, a year of single parenthood and the 5 year anniversary of my Mom's death. I knew right of the bat that if every there was a year that I needed to be strong it was 2008.

 

This year I thought long and hard about what my word would be. I chose CHERISH.

 

Part of Speech:	verb
Definition:	care about deeply
Synonyms:	admire, adore, appreciate, apprize, care for, clasp, cleave to, cling to, coddle, comfort, cosset, cultivate, defend, dote on, embrace, encourage, enshrine, entertain, fancy, fondle, foster, guard, harbor, hold dear, hold in high esteem, honor, hug, idolize, like, love, nourish, nurse, nurture, pet, preserve, prize, revere, reverence, safeguard, shelter, shield, support, sustain, treasure, value, venerate, worship
Notes:	cherish means to be fond of, be attached to, while nurture means to bring up, help develop, help grow, or provide with nourishment

 

Among the things that I want to cherish in 2009...the time that I have as a mommy to one rambunctious toddler, the time that I have carrying and keeping safe our next bundle of joy, the time that I get to spend with my husband and the time that we have left living overseas before we move back stateside.
