Off to a Rocky Start

It's 2008, yea!! Happy New Year! Unfortunately, we are off to a rocky start though, it just seems like everything is going wrong lately. My mom was supposed to come out and visit and she is having car trouble. Vanessa is sick and not doing good. Hayden has some kind of weird rash and I'm worried sick about EVERYTHING!

My husband and I did get a ton accomplished today, we moved furniture in every single room in the house, organized and made the house much less cluttered. We took everything Christmas down and stored away and cleaned the whole house too. He helped with all of it, which was so awesome.

My daughter and I went shopping Saturday and Brian and Hayden built an igloo while we were gone and it is incredible!! Brian said he must have made 100 blocks to form it and he was exhausted but how cool is it to be the only kid on our block that has an igloo! Hayden LOVES it and tells and shows everyone that he can. Vanessa and I got all kinds of new things, we were just the shopping queens that day. It felt so good to get away with just her...sometimes I need those one on one days with either child. It just makes the day so extra special. Hayden and I have a movie date coming up!

We went to church on Sunday and I think we found the church we want to join...I really like the pastors and while we were there, the pastor said to ask God for what you want for the year 2008 and I bowed my head and asked for the things I want and ever since going, all of these little things have been happening that relate to my requests and it is FANTASTIC! I'm so excited about it!

I finished my book club read and it was a good book, had a great twist at the end. It was definitely one of those books I couldn't put down and I cried in parts...Really a sad book, it's called "Me and Emma." I recommend it.

Well, although we have some issues going on, I'm looking forward to this year, we go to Hayden's first concert at the end of the month, we go to Italy in February, Pennsylvania in May, the kids go away for two weeks in July, we may go on a trip while they are gone, if Brian gets it and that will be a Mediterranean Cruise, we are able to start officially planning to sell the house and build, we are going to Chicago on a long weekend...I have sooooo many blessings ahead and I couldn't be more excited so hopefully the rocky start will soon pass and this year will be a prosperous one. Cheers to a great 2008!
