Today as I was rearranging some photo albums and doing some scrapbooking, I couldn't help but reflect back over the past year and all the important events that have taken place in our lives. We have had so many blessings and I am so thankful for a great year! As one of my favorite movies, Forest Gump, states "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get." Some in the box we like and others we don't! It is the hard times and things we don't necessarily like about life that comes our way that makes us stronger. I had an older gentleman that I took care of early in my career tell me that "Life is not necessarily about having the best of everything, but taking everything you have and making the best out of it." So true, and a statement that I will carry to my grave with me.. Looking forward to 2009... and hope it will be as well as the years past. When I read Carol's blog entry this afternoon, it made me go back and look at when I started this blog journey (August 2, 2008). It has been a wonderful lifeline for me to keep up with everyone's beautiful families and what is going on in their lives. I Love It! Here is a few flashbacks as we have known it at the Cassady house over the past year...

I love the Cassady Clan's Year in Review! I would love to take my kids to Disney World (hopefully this year)! Nathan and I went with my family right after we were married and I've always wanted to take my kids back. Nathan wanted to wait until they were old enough to really enjoy it and I think now is that time. Maybe?!!!
Looks like a great year for you all. The last picture is so precious!
So sweet!! Love the pictures!
Loved looking at your wonderful year in review! I have enjoyed blogging with you these past 4 months and catching up! I always love looking at the pictures and seeing the girls, they are such cuties! Have a wonderful 2009!!!
Great year!
Such great memories for 2008. Both your babies are precious. So glad we're able to keep in touch through blogging now.
