What a year....what a decade....

I remember New Years Eve 1999...10 years ago. I was with some great friends, dancing to Prince's "Let's Party like it's 1999" and out until 4 a.m. to ring in 2000.
My oh my how a decade changes things.
The end of 2000 I met my guy.
Two years later, he asked me to marry him, I said yes and we were married 10 weeks later.
The beginning of 2004 we closed on our first home. Thirteen days later we found out that we would be welcoming our first child that fall. September 2004, Max David James changed our lives in way so that we would forever forget how it was when we were childless. April 2006, our Molly Marie joined our family. I have few memories of us with just Max. January 2008, we receive word that Aaron has gotten a job in Kentucky. Easter of 2008 we make that move. Three months later in June, Maggie Grace arrived (very quickly). Kentucky is the only home she has ever known. I will bawl like a baby when it comes time to take our last family picture on our doorstep here. January of 2010 we will be moving back to Michigan. I am so very excited, but a bit sad to be leaving here...this small town.
So the planning and phone calls and address forwarding and nagging of my husband :) begins. The Good Lord has blessed us all so much. I can't wait to see what He has planned for us this year...this decade...

Wow! New Years Eve 1999/2000 was 10 years ago?! Well, duh, but I guess I didn't really think about it. Thanks for putting that in perspective. Ugh.
I will never forget that night, though, and I'm having fun remembering it... :)
