Is It 2012 Already??

Well, the Christmas holidays are over (I need to host the family for a meal again and let them take down the trees), and the New Year has arrived. I remember, when I was little, knowing for sure the world would not be here by the time we had to write 2000, and here it is 12 years later! Wow!

The year 2011 was such a huge variety of emotions and events:
  • I decided to take some time off school to help with baby sitting and because I felt a need to be more available for Pam and Kenny.
  • Kenny moved to the best of all places.
  • Our gymnastics team (level 3) placed 1st in the state meet.
  • My sewing business took off like CRAZY (thanks goodness).
  • We were able to spend lots of time with all our babies (older and younger).
  • Both sets of our parents had a wonderfully healthy year.
  • All our children  and grands had a wonderfully healthy year.
  • Santa Claus came even though I thought I was going to sew straight through Christmas.
  • I found out that holidays are still hard (Every day is, actually. Miss my BoBo soooo much).
  • We started some renovation work on Childen's Church (It's amazing how much I have missed that basement).
  • We opened CHRISTMAS presents OUTSIDE on the arbor in 77 degree weather-- and the weather dropped to below freezing for the next two nights!
  • I made Sugar Cookie Truffles and Lemon-Lime Sugar Cookie Truffles, Rolls, and Peanut Butter Bites BY MYSELF!!!

I can't possibly remember everything, but I AM making  some New Year's resolutions:
  • Blog more often
  • Shop earlier
  • Get more organized
  • Save more money
  • Be healthier
  • Clean more effectively (must be linked to Get More Organized)
  • Go on more "dates" with Robbie
  • Create something -- or some part of something-- every day
  • Pray more
  • Read more
  • Be a positive influence
  • Build a better relationship with my stove

Happy New Year!!!

**Additonal News and Resolutions:
1. I got the tree down--WITH Carsyn "helping" (putting the lights back on as fast as I could get them off).
2. I resolve to remember to hit the PUBLISH POST button (been several days since I wrote this post!)
