The beginning of another year. How time seems to be passing so quickly.
Our New Year's celebration wasn't anything too exciting. We had some family and friends out for some fireworks and even though there was a huge bank of fog, it actually made the fireworks more intense so see them through the mist. Everyone was done and gone by 8:30PM.
Thomas had his cousin Kayla spend the night and they made up their beds in the livingroom and watched movies til they fell asleep.
Me, I was in bed by 10PM. Is that sign of old age?
Some things Iwould like to accomplish this year.........
Take more photos. I am going to try to do the P365 project where you take one photo a day and make a scrapbook layout.
I'm going to try to eat more healthy and hopefully lose some weight.
I want to read my Bible more and study it as well as other books. Angela & Mom got me a One Year Bible that we are going to try to read it through in a year. Also there is a group on Facebook that is reading the Conflict of the Ages Series through this year that I would like to get in on. You start with Patriarch and Prophets and read through Great Controversy, in order, one chapter a day.
I want to be more organized this year. Organize my home, my desk at work, my computer files, my church clerk files.
I want to take a photography class. I want to learn how to use my camera and get great photos.
I want to spend more time with my family doing meaningful things together.
So, there is my list. Hopefully I can accomplish most of it if not all of it.
Happy 2010!

Wonderful Christmas Day
We had a wonderful Christmas! We opened some presents in the morning. Thomas actually let us sleep til 5:30AM! He had a great time distributing the presents to Dad and Me and himself.
Then we had to go feed the cows since it was a little chilly. Thomas and Daddy filled the buckets with cotton seed and brought it to the troughs. The cows were very greatful for the food and even let us scratch their heads a bit. I got some wonderful photos of some of the calfs.
We got cleaned up and headed into Corpus for brunch at Courtney's. We visited with Tom's brother and his family and my mother-in-law. It was fun watching Kaiden play with his Christmas toys. He got a 4-wheeler just like Uncle Troy's and had a great time comparing the two.
Then we went over to my sister's house to visit with them and my Mom.
All in all, it was a wonderful day spent with loved ones. Just how Christmas should be.

Merry Christmas Eve!
Well, it's Christmas Eve. The shopping's been done. Almost all the presents have been wrapped and are under the tree. I have a day off from work to get ready for tomorrow.
December has been a busy month. Thomas' school put on a Christmas program at the three churches in Corpus Christi and each week was better than the first. I'll post some photos later. Thomas had a few solo parts on his coronet and did very well.
Mom has come to Texas for the winter and we will enjoy having her here this holiday season. We have to share her with my sister and her family but I get to see her every day which is nice.
We had a cold front come in last night or early this morning so it is cool today and feels a little more like Christmas than the 70 degree weather we had yesterday.
Tomorrow will be spent with my husband's family for Christmas brunch and then we will go to my sister's for Christmas dinner. This is the first year that we haven't had everyone just come to our house. I don't know which is more stressful.
Well, there are a few things I need to get done today so I best get started. Merry Christmas to everyone!

Tired
Well, after enjoying a day of Thanksgiving yesterday, today was an early day as I tried to brave the crowds at stores to take advantage of the Black Friday deals.
I was successful. There was only one thing I really wanted for this Christmas and that was a new laptop for my husband. Wal-Mart had one for $298 so I got up at 2AM and made it to the area store by 3AM. I stood in line for the next two hours but came away with the item I went for. After purchasing my one item I got out of there as fast as I could.
Now, my husband and I have a weekend away planned to celebrate our 12th anniversary. I am ready but hope he doesn't expect me to talk to him the whole way 'cause all I want to do right now is.......SSSSLLLLEEEEPPPPPP!!!!!!

Beautiful Sunny Sunday!
The rain has stopped. The sun is out. And even though my yard looks like a lake it's a beautiful day!
Had to go into town and stopped at JoAnn's to look at some scrapbook supplies that could be used with my album. Bought some paper and a few embellishments.
The album I picked to use is an 8x8 with a cut-out on the front cover. I'm trying to create something to put in that spot. Maybe I'll wait and take a photo of our tree after we get it up and decorated.
Cowboys won! It is a good day!
