Everyone always says...I'm going to exercise more, I'm going to loose weight, I'm going to walk more, etc...OH the dreaded New Year's resolutions. I know I'm going to bite my tongue about a week from now, but I have to do something that is going to be more attainable. I'm going to try...a very conservative effort...I am going to make some type of daily post on my blog for the next 365 days. I'm not sure what it's going to turn into...errr what, but I have to at least try, right?
So to catch everyone up to date...the last month has been a wild but fullfilling month. I have come to realize on several occassions how truely blessed I am to have the family, friends, and people I have...around me. All of them, in one form or another, would do some part of moving a mountain for me. They might not directly do it themselves, but in a round about way...it would happen. God is really very good.
We have been having a few financial issues...making ends meet...well...since we've had two kids in daycare, but the Lord has really pulled us through. I really try hard to count my blessings but sometimes I'm afraid that it all might fall through. I known what it's like to think that everything is going AWESOME, and then the bomb drops and blows ya straight outta the aqua.
Everything happens for a reason. It's terribly cliche but it's totally the truth. Warren really, really seems to be enjoying his job at the law firm downtown. I really, really, really, really hope that continues for him. He really deserves something great. I love hearing his stories from the office. Gosh...either the rest of the world is getting younger...or we are just getting older. LOL! It's funny how the next generation see's the world. I have to laugh b/c it sounds oh so familiar to me.
I remember growing up thinking I'd never make it to adulthood. It always seemed so stink'in far away. Now, I see myself doing many of the same things that my mom and dad did as young parents/adults. Sixty minutes and China Beach are the equivalent to my govermental documentaries from Netflix and House of today. It's crazy. I wonder what life will be like for my children as adults. Life has a way of repeating itself on one level or the next.
So, real quick, another update for you all...my college friend Beth and her husband are expecting their second child in March of this year. They were having troubles in the beginning with their pregnancy, but they have been doing well since getting up over that bumpy hill in the beginning. Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts for them. I didn't post much after my last and only post, and I didn't want to leave anyone hanging.
Sophia, my beautiful 5 year old (going on 35), amazes me so much with each passing day. I know, as a parent, you are pretty much required to say that, but seriously...she is going to be a kindergardener in about nine months. Dude...what the hockey sticks!!! I remember her being my little peanut with the big smile. She still is, but is roughly standing about 4'2" these days...ummmm...at the stink'in age 5. For the love of Pete...she is practically taller than her mother and she hasn't even begun primary school. Dude...
Ian, my little big man, is beginning to talk up a storm as of late. It is so funny how much he wants to help out at times. He'll say, "I'll help." when it looks like someone needs help, or, "I don't want it." when it comes to feeding him something other than bananas, milk, cheese, or turkey hotdogs. Is it possible to grow up strong on a diet like that?! Oh my Ian. He is sucha little individual. He has his mind set on something and there is no changing his mind.
Anyway, I should try and close this up...but before I do...if anything I say over the next year gets annoying, repetative, or just plan stupid...please be a good friend, blog follower, whateva...and tell me. Who knows...I guess we just might have to see.
Happy New Year! Here's to 2011!!!
Here are the kids and I the day after Christmas 2010 at my dad and moms' house in Norfolk.
