Ending 2009 on a great note

First of all, I had just read five minutes ago that Shelley had her babies. She is such a cool person and it just overjoys me that God blessed her with these two little ones!!! THAT news in itself feels like it could make my whole year.

Oh but before that, earlier today, I got an email from my counselor and he told me he's so amazed at how courageous I am and he also said he feels honored when I share stuff with him, but the biggest surprise was he said I have a huge impact on his life. I couldn't stop smiling this morning after I read it. My last session was kind of hard so I think he wanted to give me some positive feedback (because I have a tendency to feel negative - no, REALLY!).

Also a couple days ago Franchesca from Abiding Hope Collages sent me Claudia's name collage. I told her I wanted it by the 15th but she got it done so fast!!! I told her I was going to put it here on the 15th (Claudia's 25th anniversary in heaven).

Well, I was going to do a Back To The Future marathon for New Year's Eve tonight, but I feel like a slug just sitting here watching it. I watched the whole first one though. Two interesting little tidbits -- when Doc Brown was going to get in the time machine (right when the Libyans showed up), he had told Marty he was going 25 years into the future (which would be 2010). Pretty neat, eh? Also, me and my husband met on November 5, 1996. The first time Marty goes to the past (when the Libyans were racing behind him), the time machine was set to November 5, 1955.

Okay, I know my husband would say it's just a random number (like, he's not excited when my car odometer rolled over to 208,000.0 the other day). But I think it's way cool.

Happy New Year!
