Happy New Year!!

Another year is upon us. I haven't thought of too many "resolutions" that I want to make. I just want to strive to be a better person than I was last year. To notice people more, and to smile more. To be more patient in all areas of my life.

I hope you all have a wonderful 2015!

Happy New Year!!

I hope your 2013 was good and your 2014 is even better.

I looked at my post from last year and I basically want the same things for the coming year:

*read more
*learn to book bind (still haven't done this, can't find a class yet)
*crochet more
*work on taming my tongue--it's that gossip thing (this one is HARD)
*read the bible in a year (want to do this with my boy)
*continue with my college ( I am continuing to take classes)
*post something positive each day (need to work on this)
*pray more (can we really ever pray enough?)

I will also add that I have learned to knit and will be taking a once a month class with my daughter to learn more about knitting. My daughter likes knitting like I like crochetting!!

This past year has been a good year. We are all healthy and happy and that is what counts most.

We had a new family member join us in October, my niece had a baby girl! She is adorable.

My daughter continues to do well.

My boy continues to do well but has some behavior challenges we are working on. He does well in school, which is nice and he continues to enjoy Boy Scouts. He is an excellent popcorn seller! He had a couple of teeth pulled to get ready for braces and will get his braces on in January.

My mom is doing well too. No new surgeries or illnesses for her. But I see her drastically slowing down.

Husband continues at his job. Nothing too exciting there. He purchased a new pick up truck in May, and we all like it.

The boy and I took our trip to Washington DC. I will probably go out to visit my cousin by myself. It's nice to have the break away!

I finally ordered a handmade shoes for myself. I am so excited to have shoes fit for my very own feet. I will post pictures when I receive them in April or May.

I finished my Linguistics class with a B. I got the grade I deserved. I didn't put 100% into the class and my grade reflects that effort. For the coming semester I will be taking Literature and Geography. I am looking forward to both classes!

That's about it for now, have a great 2014!!

A New Year..

Happy New Year! I hope you all have a wonderful 2013.

This year I would like to:
*read more
*learn to book bind
*crochet more
*work on taming my tongue--it's that gossip thing
*read the bible in a year
*continue with my college
*post something positive each day
*pray more

I didn't write a list last year, so we will see how this year goes with this list!

Happy New year!!

Hard to believe another year has gone by.

It's been a pretty good year for me and my family.

I hope 2011 is a good year too.

No resolutions here, just some things I would like to accomplish.

I made it through the Christmas season without gaining weight, but that is something I need to work on this year.

I would also like to start running since I didn't accomplish that this year.

Reading more is always on the list.

Doing more for charity is high on my list too.

I hope you all have a wonderful 2011!!

God Bless you all. :)

2009

A new year is here. Hard to believe that another year has gone by!

I don't really have resolutions as much as I have goals.

This year I need to move on and stay out of the past. I have a habit of staying in the past and it's a hard habit to break. Some call it burning bridges, so I guess that is what I will call it.

I am also trying to be more mindful of how I spend money. We have learned a lot about our spending habits since April and then going through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.
This year we will also continue to pay off our debt and not accrue any more debt.

Exercising and getting fit and eating more healthy are also goals of mine and my husbands. One thing toward that end is using the exercise equipment we have in the house. The Elliptical and Treadmill.
Eating more vegetables is also a goal and we are making strides toward doing that.

Again this year I would like to read more. I have new glasses and they are wonderful. It's just trying to find the time to read. I have been crocheting so much lately.

I also would like to finish two needlepoint seat covers for my mom. I have two of them done but as with reading, needlepoint was getting harder for me to do. that should change now.

Memory verses. I am joining my friend Bethany at Raindrops & Rainbows with memory verses this year.
I also would like to finish my Chronological bible this year.

I am contemplating two jobs. They are both in my old field of work. I would be my own boss and schedule my own hours, which really really appeals to me. I could work as much or as little as I wanted and I could work around my husbands hours.
It will be easier when the little guy is in school full time this coming fall.

So in one year, I can look back on this list and see what I have accomplished of my goals.

I hope you all have a blessed year this coming year.

Philipians 2:3
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Happy New Year!!

Wow, soon it will be 2009. I can hardly believe it.

I've had an interesting day today. I am glad for many things today.

So, I hope your 2009 is better than 2008!!!

Be blessed in the year to come!!

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation

Happy New Year!!!

Another year gone by. I don't have "resolutions" so much as things I want to accomplish in the new year.
One thing I would like to do is read more. That's a big one for me this coming year.
I hope you all have a great year to come.
