I can't believe it's been a year almost!!!!

I was messing around today, and went to my blog, and noticed it has been almost a year since I posted anything. A lot has happened in a year. Over the summer, the girls and I went to St. Louis for World Changers. It was an awesome experience as usual. There were 22 of us who went from Spring Branch. In September, our 2009-2010 school year started. Meredith, a senior, Sarah, a freshman, and James, a 2nd grader, it was going to be a busy year. Also in September, Allen turned "40". We had a surprise birthday party for him at our home. We had over 100 people in our house, it was so fun. In October, the girls went on a mission trip to Arizona. Boy did I miss them. They went to help a Church Planter with a fall festival. Unfortunately, Sarah got the Swine Flu while there, her trip wasn't any fun after Sunday. They did get to go to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. They came back home on Meredith's 17th birthday, and she got the flu that day. Homeschooling is exciting this year. We are in a Homeschool Co-op, and every Monday we travel to Spring Lake for classes. Sarah joined Cheerleading, and is really good. They have 10 Cheerleaders, Go Warriors! So, that means on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we travel for basketball games. While Sarah is at Cheer practice, Meredith is taking Drama, they are doing "Oliver Twist", and she is Nancy. I am really excited to see the production, which will be on April 2 & April 3. In December, we were busy with Christmas parties, and more parties...The girls went to WinterFest at Liberty for New Year's Eve. They had a ball, 16 from Spring Branch went. Of course, Meredith can't wait until she lives there. Well, that brings us to January. We have so much going on, and now Graduation plans have started. 2010 is going to bring a huge change to our family. Meredith Graduates, and she is going away for the summer to work alongside a Missionary, then in August she lives for Liberty University.:( I am excited for her, but at the same time, I am not ready for her to leave. I guess it is a good thing that we will be so busy, it will give me less time to think about her leaving, but the time will go too fast. Enjoy the pics from 2009.
