The NEW YEAR

The new year has began. Nothing new for our family, we tend not to make resolutions because let's face it, who can keep them. My husband and I did make a few, be a more patient with the boys and make more time for us. I want a new hair do and that is one of my resolutions. When I reflect on the past year (2008). It has been good to us in the long hall. We had some ups and some downs, but all and all we are blessed. Our family is healthy. Something great that made the end of the year special was that Malynda found me and we are going to start meeting every month or at least every other month and keep in touch. Our first outing will happen on Jan. 10th. My boys are so excited for this. The two youngest have never met her or Nick. I can't believe how much Nick has grown up. He is such a handsome young man. He is happy! I get to also meet his future wife. This year I do want to keep in touch with family better that is further away and we can't see often. I am going to make a point to go to Mt. Home when my cousin from Iowa comes down. (Give me as much notice as possible please). This summer is also when a good friend is coming for a visit from Germany. I can't wait for that either. Her boys are getting so big and my boys (especially Kyle) can't wait to see them. So I am hoping that 2009 will be a great year for our family.
