How crazy is that! It's 2011!! The Holidays were great and now it's back to reality. We made it to all our parties, I worked, the kids had sleepovers, we even exchanged a few germs and had colds and puking. All in all, it was pretty eventful. Brooke even got through an illness without visiting the spa! YIPPEE! That is success!
For New Years we had a "wig" party. The theme was going to be 70's, but it was hard to find the clothes. I like a reason to be silly and was a little sad with no theme. So this was fun and easy. It's amazing how you can change a look with some hair. I think the best part of the night was watching the kids sing karaoke and dance. Thanks to my brother for finding the set up! Brooke is still saying "TO LOUD" :) We are so blessed by wonderful friends and family! I love being able to spend time with them and laugh. (pictures to come, I hope)
Well onto 2011! Who knows what the future has in store? So far we can't complain about any of the years we've had. Sometimes things sound worse than they are. God always has a plan and there are many teaching moments along the way. Steve and I talked about resolutions the other day. I'm not a fan of them. Mainly because I can't/don't keep them. But I think that is because I've been focusing on the wrong thing. You hear resolutions to lose weight, exercise more, read more, etc etc. Those aren't bad things but I was reading if we make resolutions that glorify Him our focus changes and, hopefully we are more likely to keep them. So we came up with a couple things in 2011 we'd like to accomplish. It's has to do with others which is much more satisfying than focusing on ourselves.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” - 2 Corinthians 5:17
Happy New Year everyone!!
