It’s 2010 and I couldn’t happier. Many wonderful things happened in 2009 (married my best friend, and got pregnant) but it was a tough year (step-dad went through cancer treatment, my pay was cut and my hours increased). I’m looking forward to a new year. And though I am optimistic every year, I do feel that things are on the up swing (my step-father’s cancer is gone, my job is stable, and we are having a baby in June!) 2009, farewell, you were a year of change as promised.

I normally write a long post recapping my year; however, this year I’m going to let that previous paragraph stand as my recap. If you’ve come over from Living Juicy, welcome. This post is somewhat of a duplicate to announce my intentions to begin blogging about family on this site, which was originally designed to provide information about our wedding. For those who know this site from the wedding plans, hope you’ll keep reading as we change formats a bit. I will keep living juicy as a portfolio blog for those creative endeavors I’d like to show off.

This blog will undergo some design changes in the near future and the content will be updated more regularly. I will write about things that I cook (because I love to cook), and things that we do, and ways I am preparing to help this family expand. Does that sound interesting? If so, come along and don’t mind the mess as I rearrange and reconfigure both blogs to fit their new purpose. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, now let’s get on with the new year!
