Merry Christmas 2010!!



2010 has been a year full of blessings for the Barrow Family!

After getting hitched in October 2009, we had a wonderful time settling into our new place and enjoying life as a married couple.  In April 2010, Cory enrolled at the Goldenwest Police Academy.... Looking back, those six months were quit a blur for both of us! It was a trying experience but one that neither of us will ever forget. Cory excelled in his class and is so excited to begin his career in Law Enforcement.

Just 4 days before our one year anniversary, we were delighted to find out that we are expecting a baby, due June 25, 2011! We recently had an ultrasound and they are 90% sure we are having a baby boy! We (especially Cory) are thrilled to say the least!

The 1st Trimester of my pregnancy was a rough one as I was enrolled in my last semester of graduate school, teaching a college course at CSUF and still working full time. I didn't realize it was possible to be that tired all the time.  With the support of my loving husband and family, I completed my Master's Degree as of a couple weeks ago!

This past week, the entire Hagin (Konkin, Wales, and Barrow) family has been home for the holidays and I am so thankful for the love that this family shares for one another and for our Lord, Jesus Christ. My sisters and parents are an inspiration to me and I am so blessed to have them as an example in my life.

It's hard to believe that 2010 is drawing to an end! Wishing all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Love,
