How do we even being to describe 2005? It was the beginning, the end, and the beginning again.
It was the end of individual lives and the beginning of a shared one for us with our marriage. It started in February with a proposal in Chicago on a stage in front of 300 people and culminated in a celebration in late August with our most intimate family and friends.
It was the end of just one family and the beginning of two families. We got to enjoy the treasure of a new life in baby Isaac and share special time reflecting on those whom we have lost. We both endured professional hardships that molded us into stronger individuals and further united our shared life.
It ended as it began...the two of us together at home on December 31st taking time to sit in peace and let it soak in. We looked at one another and knew that we ended a year stronger, better, and with a thought that we began 2005 with..the thought that we are not alone, we are blessed we found each other and that 2006 is the start of another beginning for us again.
