A New Year 2009

Well, I thought I should come into my own and figure out this whole blogging thing. Life gets so crazy sometimes that it is so hard to keep up with everyone. So I thought it would be a good idea to just write a letter to everyone at once so that we can all stay in touch.

For some of you this may be a little redundent but thought it best to update you all from the begening for those fo you just following along.

September 16th, 2007:

We welcomed the birth of our first child Payton Marie Maynard today. She weighed in at 4lbs. 11oz. and was 19in. long. After 10 hours of labor what a joy she was. So aleart and ready for the world.

As any would tell you the first month of life with a new born goes by so fast and you just go from day to day learning to adjust to this new little one. Thank goodness we had the distraction of a beautiful little child as when she was just two weeks old our world as we knew it came crashing down. I received a phone call that my company was closing it's doors. This was not good as we needed my income not to mention the health benefits more then anything. So, with our hearts in our hands and our heads held high, we turned to the Lord as we do in times of stife. For a year we tried to get things back up and running and finally decided to sell the house and move back to the West side of town where mine and Chris' life had begun.

As fate would have it God works in mysterious ways and I was able to be hired on the Management Team for Starbucks Coffee. This has been so great as my hours enable us that we do not have to put Payton in daycare. Chris has an office on the West side of town now and is doing a very good job with his insurance business. He really enjoys the many amazing people that he has been able to meet through the car shows that have now become clients.

So, for 2009 we are looking fine! I am so excited to see what this year has to offer. I am so thankful for my health, my families health, a roof over my head, a stable job, great friends and family, but most of all an awesome husband, daughter, and God who love me very much!

Cheers,

Court
