I Couldn't Resist...

This is kind of a two fold post. Anyone who knows me knows how I am about Disney. Well, I couldn't resist giving the blog a disney makeover! I've actually had this finished and ready to go for a couple months, but wanted to wait until after the holidays were over. Halloween and Christmas were just too fun to decorate the blog for so I couldn't just skip them over.

But on the other hand, I couldn't resist blogging. I've been asked to pull the blog from the internet. I've thought about it, and thought about it, and I am very sad about it and I have mixed feelings. I have to admit, blogging has been a social outlet for me. It has reconnected me with family & friends, and it something that I have really enjoyed. I have,however wavered back and forth with the internet security thing. I have taken into consideration the concerns that were brought to my attention, but in the end, I've decided to publish the posts I have been saving and start posting again... and we'll see what happens. I do feel that I take careful measures, and don't disclose anything too personal. Besides... I've never really been known as one to follow directions anyway!

I am curious though, what are your thoughts on blogging??

Happy 2009!

Wow... I can't believe it's already New Years! This has been a whirlwind year for our family! To celebrate new years, we just got together with some friends... played WII... played board games... and had fondue. We also watched the neighbors light some fireworks and watched the ball drop. It was relaxing, and a lot of fun! Sometimes those are the nicest holidays. This is a picture of the boys playing guitar hero.


And... Here's some of the Blackwood family's top events of 2008... and not in any particular order...
1. Of course, the biggest... Charley & Sarah married June 4th.
2. 4 Disney trips... February, June, October & December
3. Nathan was baptized.
4. Sarah moved to team trainer at SelectHealth.
5. Charley moved from Provo & found work in Salt Lake.
6. The house went up for sale.... and we are still living in it 9 months later.
7. L & H both performed in Peter Pan.
8. We got a new truck.

So here's to a happy 2009! Hang on, I'm sure it will be a fast one!
