"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us, He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
President Gordon B. Hinckley

2009...A NEW YEAR

Well, we are officially into 2009 by almost 5 days! We are very excited to find out what 2009 will bring for the Shupes. We have made some goals as a family, and we are looking forward to achieving them. The year started out wonderfully at midnight 1/1/09 when Tanner was bouncing off the walls and loudly blowing Jared's old trumpet to bring in the new year! Traditionally, Jared's uncle Kelly, blows the bugle every year out in their front yard. (The whole neighborhood knows it is Kelly!) This year Tanner joined him with the trumpet, and they were a terrific duo! Tanner's cheeks were so filled with air that they looked like they would POP!

We pray that all of you will have a fantastic 2009!
