2009

Kyle and I are collaborating on this post because God has blessed us, protected us, challenged us, graced us and even humored us so much this year! There are a ton more things we could write on this list, but these are the big ones. We want to write it all down so we can look back years from now and see how far we have come. We want our future children to see and know their heritage in the Lord.

"Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you don't forget the things your eyes have seen and so that they don't slip from your mind as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your grandchildren." - Deuteronomy 4:9

"We must not hide them from their children, but must tell a future generation the praises of the LORD, His might, and the wonderful works He has performed." - Psalm 78:4

In 2009 we celebrated our 1st anniversary and we were able to buy our first house. God protected our jobs in the economic crisis and Kyle even got an unexpected promotion and a raise.

We were able to spend a whole lot of time with family this year. We got to see Kyle's grandparents at the beginning of the year, we spent July 4th in Atlanta with some of Lindsey's family, we celebrated her Dad's 50th birthday, welcomed lots of healthy babies into our family, spent Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach with the Fescoe's, we got to see both sides of our families at Christmas.

God protected our health this year and kept us safe.

We were able to celebrate two amazing miracles: The healing of a hurting cousin and a sweet friend's pregnancy.

2009 was an overall wonderful and happy year for us. We know there are always ups and downs in life and at some point we will find ourselves in a rough season. However, right now we are praising God for a year full of blessings and celebrations!

Happy New Year and we pray that God blesses you and keeps you all safe in 2010!!

We love you all!
Kyle and Lindsey
