As I look back on a year that seemed to be gone almost the moment I remember it beginning I would like to post my favorites for the year 2008. It has been a great year for Jeremy and I and our little family and we only look forward to the many blessings that God will have in store for us in the year 2009.

Something I'm proud of - I'm proud of completing Dave Ramsey's FPU class and how dedicated I've been to making sure our budget has been followed. I'm proud of my husband for working so hard and enjoying his job. I'm proud of our kids who continue to amaze me every day. I'm proud of our church for taking on new ministries and seeing them take off and glorify God.
Top Ten Hopes for 2009 (in no particular order)
(1) I hope to read more books - I love to read!!
(2) I hope to lost some baby weight (from both kids) - just get more healthy and in shape ( I think I make this resolution every year (don't we all?)
(3) I hope to be more faithful to my devotions and making them a priority for every day.
(4) I hope to become closer to my friends (I'm realizing that I need them more than I thought did - and I LOVE them all!)
(5) I hope to get caught up on my scrapbooking (just bought a srapbook program for the computer that hopefully will let me catch up a bit)
(6) I hope to keep in contact with people a little better (cards, email, phone calls, etc . . .)
(7) I hope to do something kind for someone else once a month (without expecting anything in return) - I gave this assignment to my 4th graders and I should probably do it as well!
(8) I hope to take my kids to Disneyworld in June and have a BLAST with my family.
(9) I hope to have more determination to finish projects once I've started them.
(10) I hope enjoy every single solitary minute of 2009 because I will only live it once!!
