Out with the old, in with the new

So here we are. The last day of the year 2007. As I sit here I am thinking, "This year went by so fast, what did I do during it?"

As to the first, I am told by my elders to expect the years to spin faster as I get older. This sage advice concerns me as I try to answer the second. What did I do this year?

• Traveled to TX to visit family with my mom.
• Helped my grandparents pack for their move from the home they lived in for 30+ years.
• Quit one of my jobs.
• Looked for another job . . . didn't find one.
• Visited the brother in FL.

Those are the highlights anyway. I am hoping that the time in between was filled with worthwhile exploits and a little bit of fun.

All this thinking (besides tiring my brain!) has caused me to contemplate my new year resolutions. I have made resolutions in the past that have been so ridiculous that I could never attain them. So as I continue to contemplate my resolutions I have some goals: 1) Resolutions that are attainable 2) Resolutions that will cause me to grow spiritually, emotionally, and personally.

Back to thinking . . .

5 things I got for Christmas

1. To spend time with my family.
2. To celebrate the birth of my Savior in a wonderful Christmas Eve service.
3. To eat lots of delicious food.
4. Almost everything (which was enough) on my Amazon.com wishlist -- which included many books!
5. Two pairs of the most comfortable dress pants ever!

Christmas Program

Last Sunday we were supposed to have our Christmas Program during the morning service and then during the evening service we were going to have a shortened program and the family Christmas celebration. However, because of the 8 inches of snow, we had one service on Christmas Eve.

I apologize in advance for the poor photo quality. I was nervous (in charge of the children's program) and it is really hard to take pictures in that lighting. heehee

Catch up

Today was a catch up day.

Last night I caught up on my sleep. The brother and the sister are here for Christmas and we stayed up quite late on Christmas Eve.

Today I caught up at work. It always throws me off when we have a holiday. Today seemed to go by so fast and I didn't accomplish half of what I wanted to!

Tonight I am catching up with Cleo. She missed me the past couple days.

It's nice to be missed . . .

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!
