Wow, it's hard to keep up with a blog! I meant to post my 2009 review Jan. 2nd.... 24 days later isn't too bad, right? It is? Oh, well sorry. Hopefully we'll get the hang of this soon, one of my pet peeves has been those people who never update their blogs and now I'm one of them! This will change, don't you worry, this will change!
Anyways....

(June was packed pretty tight!)

literally thrown into the trials of marriage)

August:
* After Whitney got the "ok" from her infectious disease specialist, everyone took a
deep breath of relief and God provided us with a quitier month (moving

December:
* Whitney was placed in the hospital, had emergency surgery, and 2 holes and
drains crammed in her jaw due to this stupid tooth/jaw infection that my dentist
and doctor both misdiagnosed... THANKS!! (I'm sure you all have seen the pictures my lovely sister posted on facebook, so they're really not necessary here)
* WE enjoyed our first Christmas as a married couple!!
WHEW! there you go, a year of lasts and firsts and craziness.
blog newbie questions:
2) How do I indent paragraphs/sentences? I had each entry for every month all lined up, but when it posted they all aligned to the right side :(
So, today may not be Valentine's day, and this may not be a real flower, and its not even a rose... but that is ok.
