The 12 Months of 2009
In the first month of 2009, our true God gave to us…One new adventure.
In January, Amy started out in the self-employed world by creating designerGENES photography. To learn more about the name on how her adventure has been going, visit www.designergenesphotography.com.
In the second month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Two small repairs.
Right before her six month birthday, Kamalee underwent open heart surgery. She was born with one larger and one smaller whole in the valves of her heart. With the God’s grace she came through like a star. Expecting a hospital stay of 7-10 days, we were able to come home after only 5!
Also in February, designerGENES got its name started by shooting their first wedding!
In the third month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Three sisters (and their hubbies) a night out!
March gave Justin and Amy a chance to create one of very few memories from high school that they didn’t get the chance to do. Along with two of Amy’s sisters, they enjoyed a Second Chance Prom at the casino, benefiting the Cancer Center. A night of eating and dancing was a great enjoyment!
In the fourth month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Four fun hours in a car.
The month of April was busy for the Ulschmids. After a fun Easter celebration, Justin and Amy took a trip to Minneapolis for the weekend. We celebrated our 2nd anniversary and Justin’s 25th birthday by going to a Minnesota Twins game. Twins win, so it was a great trip.
In the fifth month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Five Gold Rings!
Ok maybe not, but Amy did get to enjoy her first Mother’s Day as a Momma! She may not have got five gold rings, but she did get a beautiful gold cross necklace.
In the sixth month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Six Dweebs.
Justin’s employer (Watertown Ford Chrysler) had won the President’s Award last year and they threw a big bash, in June. We celebrated with a ton of food, blow up slides, games for the kids, go-kart races and The Dweebs! They were great. Justin and a few of his buddies were invited on stage to perform as The Village People. I just have to say I am glad they didn’t need back up dancers or they may have hired Justin.
June also let Justin celebrate his first Father’s Day as Daddy. And Kamalee got to enjoy her first rodeo.
In the seventh month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Seven ladies a ‘singing.
In July, Amy celebrated an upcoming wedding with her cousin at her bachelorette party. It was a great time and the night ended with seven ladies singing, “If you’re happy and you know it!” This is for those seven ladies.
We also celebrated at a wedding of Justin’s cousin, in Minnesota.
In the eighth month of 2009, our true God gave to us…the eighth month craziness.
August proved to be crazy again and very busy. It started with Amy enjoying her 22nd birthday accompanied by a gallbladder surgery. After a week of rest, she was able to photograph her 2nd wedding. Justin and Amy spent 4 days relaxing at the Niobrara River, while Grandma spent 4 days with Kamalee. I think it was a toss up as to who had more fun. No time to rest and it was back to work. Amy was able to photograph a 3rd wedding, for her cousin.
In the ninth month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Nine layers of frosting.
All of us were able to celebrate Kamalee turning 1! We threw her a first princess party and Amy tried her hand at a castle cake. For the most part, it turned out great and had lots of yummy frosting.
In the tenth month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Ten trips to Sioux Falls.
We began the month by traveling for a Sioux Falls wedding. The second weekend of October tested our families’ strength. Justin’s sister was involved in a serious accident. We spent any free time in October, traveling to see her in the hospital.
In addition to hospital visits, Amy spent some of her Sioux Falls trips shopping for fabric with her sister. They have started yet another venture…you will be hearing more soon about PoshTales Boutique. For now, you get a sneak peek with Kamalee’s outfit.
In the eleventh month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Eleven extra reasons for thanks.
We had a very thankful Thanksgiving this year. We shared in a meal at the hospital with Justin’s family. God gave us such faith and many extra reasons to thank him this year. Justin’s sister doing well was a big one this Thanksgiving.
In the twelfth month of 2009, our true God gave to us…Twelve wonderful months to look forward to in 2010.
We hope that you have found yourself enjoying the holiday seasons in good health. Hug your loved ones tight and take the time to thank God for all you have. May God bless each of you, now and always.
Love the Ulschmids,
Justin, Amy and Kamalee
