Welcome 2009

Wow, it's hard to believe it's already 2009, it seems that 2008 just got here.

Here are a few our 2008 memories (both happy & sad)

We started out the year with a bang on our weight loss journey. We diligently followed our Weight Watchers plan and walked everyday. After 4 months we had lost a combined weight of 60 pounds. YIPEE for us. Of course once we stopped faithfully following our plan, the weight crept back up on us (we are both still down some :))


We got married in May, much to everyone's surprise (including mine)

Papaw was also diagnosed with cancer, as we waited patiently to start his treatment plan, the Grandpa took a turn for the worse. Maurice took a leave from work to go to Florida to spend some time with him. Sadly, on September 11th he passed away. Some of us flew to Washington DC for his burial in Arlington National Cemetery, it was an awesome experience to watch, we also took a few extra days to tour our nations Capitol.



In September, Hurricane Gustav blew through town, most of us were lucky with only a week long power outage, however, Buddy had a huge tree land on his house, he has really fixed it up nicely.

On December 11th, we had a snow day, lots of snow. It was beautiful.

As we recall 2008, we are looking forward to 2009.
