After perusing several top ten lists of the year, I have decided that I would create a top ten list for our family. Here are the top events of the year for the Shoffs:
1-Our first baby girl was born in October
2-We moved to Tennessee of all places!
3-Ben got the job promotion he worked so hard for; it really is sick how much he loves his job!
4-We bought our house and have already had fun painting.
5-Dallin had a big year-losing teeth and tying shoes!
6-Ben's sister Becca was married this summer, and we were able to go out and spend some time with both families! Great summer vacation!
7-Got a chance to explore Jackson a little bit during spring break, and made it to the Memphis Zoo. (New Year's goal is to be a Tennessee tourist and see more of the state)
8-Moved JT into a big boy bed.
9-Got ridiculously emotionial over the drama of a nest and 5 little eggs.
10-Made some fantastic friends and have managed to stay in touch with many of our friends from St. George.
The transition to a new year always excites me. I just read my post from last year when we didn't know if/when we would be moving and didn't know that our baby girl was just wating right around the corner. How exciting that there are other surprises waiting for us in 2010! A fresh new start, a starting point to being a better person/parent/friend.....what does the new year hold for us? Who knows, but I am sure that it will be an adventure! Hold on, here we go!

That's a fun Top Ten list! I'm sure glad you added being ridiculously emotional over the birds! Miss you guys!! Have a great New Year!
Wow! 2009 sure was exciting for you guys. Can't wait to hear what happens next. You guys are such a cute family. Miss ya tons.
I love waiting to see what a new year holds. It's so exciting--A new chapter in the story!
Wow...it's amazing what one year can hold huh? I'm trying to picture what I will be saying next year...hopefully it will be that I lost over 50 lbs and have my home under control! Oh...and hopefully that Jake will be in the respiratory therapy program, and that I finished my thesis finally! (No...I STILL haven't finished it! I was just about to start it up again the week I found out I was pregnant...and then with TWINS of all things). So...I love your idea of the top 10 things...will you be offended if I do that on my blog too? :) Love you guys!
