I must give credit to my friend Carly for this idea, (and I guess Letterman) but I loved her Christmas letter of top tens so here is the J & C version! Please read:
10. Job cuts in Asheville! Followed by a month plus of hard labor- remodeling, and a sold house, after only 2 showings, with back up offers to boot!!!
9. New callings/responsibilities at church -
2nd counselor in Young Women and
2nd counselor in Young Men and Scout Master! Yikes!

8. Trip to Charleston, South Carolina on the fly! Great food, interesting history, and fabulous architecture! So much fun not having a job for a while.
7. New camera! Seeing the world in a whole new way! Lets go take a million pictures!
6. Moving to Texas, meeting new wonderful people! (And still missing Asheville friends like crazy)
5. Moving up from our puny 1000 square feet to 2200 yeah for room to breathe I guess it's true everything is bigger in Texas.
4. Our 2008 song of the year "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Callait LOVE IT!!! WATCH THE VIDEO PLEASE- you have got to hear this song! Lucky I'm in love with my Best Friend!
3. Blogging our year away! And joining Facebook (Cheesy- I know) But so nice to find and keep in touch with some old friends!
2. Finishing our adoption application and getting approved to adopt!
1. And to quote Fiddler on the Roof- "Miracle of miracles"
WE ARE PREGNANT!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I'm so excited for you guys! Take it easy, relax, and enjoy every minute of your pregnancy. I hope the morning sickness doesn't last too long (mine usually tapers off around 13 weeks) and that your body loves being pregnant so it can be fun. Woohoo!!!!!

Oh my goodness! What great news! Congratulations! So exciting-- I feel like this needs some more exclamation points!!!!!!
That is so awesome!. Congratulations and we hope all goes well for you guys. Asheville will never be the same, but Yay Texas.
Congratulations . . . and I know this won't make the sicky feeling go away, but it's actually good news that you feel like crap.

BBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! That is so exciting! Welcome to the wonderful world of ralphing for a reason! I am so happy for you guys!
Cassity and Justin....CONGRATS! Now let me get the tears out of my eyes so I can read the computer monitor. The Lord truly hears and answers prayers. This is the best news I've heard all day. Congrats to you both.
Wow. What an amazing year.
The Lord has touched your lives.
I KNEW IT!!! *I have heard that happen before so many times and for some reason when you wrote you were approved, I almost wrote, now you will get pregnant and have your own. I bet a bunch of others felt it too. I am so happy for you two. I love you guys and miss you. I will be praying and I know the Lord knows what He is doing in His time, just be glad you aren't 99 yrs old. I feel sometimes I am 199yrs old and still having kids. lol. My prayers are with you. Love pat.
We are SOOOOOOOOO HHHHAAAPPPPPPPPPPPYYY FOR YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations! WE LOVE YOU and look forward to more exciting news!!!! :) MUCH LOVE!!! Mag & the boys
As it should be. Love you guys so much and miss you more. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are so thrilled for both of you!!! I hope the sickness passes (or gets manageable) soon! Parenthood is the most exciting (though not always glamorous) journey of all, and I can't wait to see you guys be a mom and dad!!! (:
Congratulations Cassity and Justin!!!
I was going to say the same thing that Pat had said. So many times, I knew friends, and friends of friends, who either started the adoption process or actually were able to adopt (and bring home) a baby/child. Then lo and behold, the wife would be pregnant. I know you guys must be overjoyed and so happy! I hope you have a smooth pregnancy and doing well in Texas! :)

Yeah!!!! I am sooo excited for you. Although, I am so sorry about the morning sickness. I totally know how that goes. I don't know how I could have survived without Zofran. I took the whole way through up until the day I was in labor. Hopefully it subsides. Really, Congratulations and lots of hugs from me.
Hooray!!! Congrats you guys!
