Ringing in the new year

I'm sad to say goodbye to 2008; it was a wonderful year in so many ways. Highlights of the year included our family trip to California in June; my youngest beginning middle school; both kids' amazing summer camp experiences; Steve Sr.'s success with Flatout Motorsports and his novels; and the myriad benefits of my job as a personal chef, including the symposium I attended in Charleston in October, my wonderful clients, and the great new friends I've met along the way.

I look toward the new year with wonder and awe, and with the belief that the best is yet to come. I'll try to share that spirit tonight with those gathered at our house to ring in 2009. Happy New Year!
