Thanks 2007! Welcome 2008!

2007 was a year to remember. Emily's birth (Jan. 11th) was a great way to kick off 2007. She has been such a blessing. Our lives were forever enriched. Everyday we look forward to the new things she will discover. As she discovers, we learn to appreciate the things in life that, in the past, we seemed to take for granted. I thank God every day for the privilege of being her mom. In the month of May, I changed jobs. I quit teaching and became a stay-at-home mom. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to spend every waking(and sleeping) moment with Emily. Thank you Jeremy, for being a faithful and loving provider for our family. The month of May also officially added a member to the Whitt family. My brother Seth married Steffany. It brings great joy to see him happy, and I don't believe anyone could do that better than Steffany. In June, we added another title to our names, and a member to the Prickett family. We became Uncle and Aunt. Cody and Kelly welcomed Ethan Christopher into the world. He is a BIG bundle of joy, and he warms our hearts with every smile. 2007 taught us that life is not about material things or acclaim. Life is about loving the people that God has placed in your life. We are thankful for the people that are sharing this life-walk with us. As we enter 2008, my hope is that our relationships only become stronger-both with God and our loved ones.
