Starting over again- And a Happy New Year

Starting over- take 20...


Quite honestly, I might just be the worst.blogger.on.earth.

I start and stop just as quickly as I started. I should have made blogging one of my new year’s resolutions. Is it to late to add it to my (VERY long) list now? I think I will. I am going to attempt it once more. Who am I kidding- I am almost positive that it won’t be my last attempt.

We rang in the New Year tucked quietly into our slumber. Seriously, we were all passed out by 10. My littlest sister, Alexa, threw a surprise birthday party for my middle sister, Terika’s, thirtieth. Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure that it wasn’t a surprise at all. It was a great party none the less. Alexa always brings it when it comes to party planning. She makes the best appetizers, decorates to a T, and bakes her own cakes. She is pretty much the domestic goddess of all time. She just announced that she and her husband are expecting their second child next fall. We are all very excited for them.

Now that we have rung in the New Year (inappropriately I am sure,) I will be sending the boys back to school as quickly as possible. Micah went back today, and Payton will go back tomorrow. I think I may miss them (a little). We will see how I really feel come tomorrow afternoon. I am sure that I could use a “mommy moment”! I have been craving some girl time in a MAJOR way. Even a date for mommy and daddy would be great at this point. I think that’s something I am going to plan. A secret rendezvous sounds so amazing. Dinner and a movie are more likely.

All in all we had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s. Jesus is the reason for the season, and we made sure that our children never forgot that. We are so blessed beyond measure to have another wonderful year ahead of us. We will not be looking back on mistakes of the past, but looking forward to our brilliant future. Happy New Year to everyone!
