It's been a while since I posted anything really personal.

Isabella is getting so big and smart. And of course beautiful and curious about everything. You can see by the many pictures. Lilly has actually kept her pics more up to date than I. She (in her baby language) asks about everything. What's this? What's that? and so forth. Keeps me and Mommy on our toes.

I tried coming up with a new year's resolution, but no deal. I just think I'll make smarter DAILY decisions, love more, and take life one day at a time.

I'm glad 2008 is gone. I'm looking forward to our trip to Los Angeles in a couple of weeks. I just want to get away. It will be Bella's 1st trip to Disneyland, my mother turns 60, and my older brother is getting married. I hope we can sneak in a Lakers game.

Work is good. I personally like everyone I work with. It's a lifestyle being a restaurant manager than it is a job. I think this year will be the most important year ever in my career and where I want and need to be.

Love life. We've been through some growing pains, but I believe it's all for a stronger future together. Lilly has been the best thing for me and Bella. I love you sweetheart. We'll still grow old and laugh about this when our teeth are rattling from the gums.

Goals for this year, and not to be confused with a resolution:
Save money for a home. Get a promotion. Feel better at the end of the year.

For those of you who pray and believe in God. Keep us in your prayers always.
For those who don't, I'll pray for you.
