Happy New Year's

No, we haven't forgone the blog. We've simply been crazy busy doing the things we would blog about over the past three weeks. I'm hoping to backtrack and blog a little bit over the next few days, but let's kick off the new year's with a new posting.

We had a great time ringing in 2009 a few hours early with some friends. It was a very last minute gathering, so it was a small group, but we had a blast with some yummy food, some fun games and then some perfect-for-the-occasion sparklers, silly string and poppers.

I'm not a big one for resolutions. However, this year I do have some exciting things to look forward to and work toward in 2009. I'm very excited about joining a new accountability group. I haven't have an accountability partner in a few years and I can't wait to get back into the groove of it. I've also decided to make running a 5K a goal of mine. My favorite gift that our family got for Christmas was joining Lifetime Fitness. I'm hoping to use those workout to train for a 5K. We'll see how I do in that goal. I'm excited about teaching Trinity about daily devotionals. We gave her a child's devotional Bible for Christmas and we read our first lesson together today (actually Craig was the one who read with her). She hasn't made a decision to follow Christ yet, but we can still teach her what that looks like. I'm looking forward to enjoying more game nights with my family. Both girls got a game that we can play as a family. It may be interesting to try to get Xander involved, but we'll see how it goes.

I love the chance to look at my life and evaluate how I spend my days, what I pour my energies into, what I need to change.

Let's dive into 2009!!
