2009 has flown by and we are already into 2010. Jonathan and I did quite a bit in 2009 and through its ups and downs, we had a great year. We started off the year like every other year, a birthday bash with my family and the Medlin’s (My other family) to celebrate my dad’s and Bob’s birthdays. <\/p>\n

\"Day<\/a> <\/p>\n

In February Jonathan and I went on our first cruise to Cozumel and Progresso, Mexico with our friends Josh and Shalyn.<\/p>\n

Jonathan and I completed our first bike race, Tour Dallas, with our friend Todd. We had a great time and hope to do it again this year. <\/p>\n

A few months later, we rode in another bike ride, Mesquite Rodeo Ride. We attempted this one but about 10-12 miles in I was done, my heart couldn’t take anymore.<\/p>\n

We took a visit to the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens on Memorial Day Weekend

Our good friend Tami got married to Michael in May and Jonathan and I were the photographers.

In July Jonathan and I went on another cruise to the Bahamas with my parents, his parents and his sister and brother-in-law. We had a great time with everyone!<\/p>\n

In August we put our house on the market so we can move closer to both our families. We are hoping to move to the Forney or Rockwall area. Hopefully our home will sell in 2010 and we can move closer to our families.<\/p>\n

In October we started the process to become foster parents so we can adopt through CPS. We had to do about 32 hours of classroom training, we filled out 1000 pieces of paperwork, done drug screenings, got our fingerprints done with the FBI, and have completed our homestudy so we are just playing the waiting game now. For our homestudy we had to have the babies room set up with the crib and everything so we moved our guest room into the office and set up the babies room.<\/p>\n

Throughout the year we went to a few of my nephew, Jake’s, soccer games and spent time with my niece, Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

We spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with both of our families and rang in the new year with some friends. We started 2010 the same way we started 2009, a birthday bash with my family and the medlins. <\/p>\n

We finally got an updated picture of all the Turner-Medlin “kids” and their significant other.<\/p>\n

So here’s to the New Year and a happy and joyous 2010. We anticipate 2010 to be a big year for us as we bring a little one into our home and hopefully adopt a child this year. I wish all of you a wonderful new year and hope your dreams and goals of 2010 come true!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
