If life were only this easy...

From the movie Eurotrip...

Cooper: [in London, answers his cell phone] Cooper here. Hello Mr. Walters. Uh, yes sir, I'm down in file storage. Oh, just hang on one second.
[lowers phone, picks teeth, puts phone back to ear]
Cooper: No, sir, I can't find the Goodwin file anywhere. Yes sir, I'll keep looking. I don't rest until I find it.
[hangs up]
Scott: You didn't tell your boss you were leaving the country?
Cooper: They would have stopped paying me. Seemed easier.

Later...
Cooper: Hello Mr. Walters... I see... fired? Well, I... Well, if that's what you want, I understand... goodbye, sir.
Scott: They had to catch you eventually.
Cooper: No, they fired Humphrey.
Scott: Shut up!
Cooper: I got his office and a raise!

If life were only that easy. 2008 was a long and difficult year. We lost 5 family members and we had 2 friends lose a parent. Death is never easy to deal with...but we learned a lot about family and friends. And we miss those that we have lost. But they have left us with wonderful memories.

But for the good in the year we also moved into our duplex, got Buddy the Dog and I got a new job as a Chiropractic Assistant. We also had our nephew accept Christ as his Savior.

We have high expectations in 2009...but we realize that is not up to us...but to God. We are excited for what He has planned for us. As Jeremiah 29:11 says " For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Have a Blessed New Year! (We promise to update more...)
