Wow I cant believe that I have already done 100 posts. I never really thought I would ever blog that much but the last little awhile I have become to LOVE it. It is my little journal of our life.
You see, I wanted to make my 100th post very meaningful. I wanted it to be very much who I am and how I think. I don’t know who’s reading this, I don’t know what they’re thinking. It’s pretty cool to think about it, but intimidating as well. It’s a cool world we’re building with the web.
I have talked to many people that have told me that 2009 was the hardest year for them. If you would of asked me 2 weeks ago if 2009 was hard for us, I would of answered quickly YES it was the hardest year since we have been married. But now that I have really thought about it..it was hard but wow did we learn a lot. I posted a couple days ago the quote "Every hardship is an opportunity in disguise". I love this quote and have been thinking about this quote everyday. Last January Billy lost his job. The company went under because of the economy. When I heard that people lost there jobs I never thought that would ever happen to us..well it did. At first I felt like we failed, I felt stupid, I felt hurt, and sad. I thought it would be easy to just find another job but no it wasn't. Everyone in his job field was doing the same thing and finding work. The first six months were very hard on him. It hurt me to see Billy so depressed and feeling like he couldn't take care of his family. But we made it work with me working more and doing what we could to get by. Well now that I look back at that hard year, it made us as a couple closer together, closer to our Heavenly Father, and closer to what is really important in life. We learned in that year to communicate more, to communicate our feelings, and to lean on each other in everything we do.
Well this is a fresh New Year and we are grateful for the love of family and friends that helped us and was always postive to us during our hard year. This year is going to have some changes and at the same time I am scared of changes but we just have to keep going forward in life and have the courage to do so.
Love, Megan Maree Walker Boehm

Thanks for sharing that, I needed to be reminded of the good stuff and the blessings in disguise. Derek just lost his job as well and we are trying to find the positive.
