Highlights

I'm excited about 2008. Our church is fasting for 40 days together in prayer and study. The fast isn't a food fast, but a fast from something that you're fond of like sweets, soft drinks, etc. I want to do some serious soul searching this year and get to know God better. Matt was talking on Sunday about how we spend time with the people we love and tell them often how much we love them. I think I do a pretty good job of this with my family, but I KNOW that I don't do that enough with my Creator. I want to be more God-focused this year. I guess that would be my resolution. God brings peace to your life and takes away pain. God is faithful, sovereign, TRUE.

These are some of the blessings in 2007:
Karson took dance and realized it wasn't her thing. She played softball for the Cheetah Girls and loved it. Her boyfriend even came to some of her games. Her brothers, although pesky, are some of her best pals. Dentists will be squashing her college fund. She loves her cousins who will be moving back home this year--hooray! Since we believe in arranged marriages amongst our friends, Karson has decided that she is going to marry Chase.

Isaac turned 2 in January celebrating at his favorite spot McDonald's. We eat there every Wednesday. I know what you're thinking--yum! He's always been in touch with his feminine side with an older sister. I think he loves make-up more than she does. He's also a fashion statement in the making. He had to wear three shirts to church on Sunday because he couldn't make up his mind. At least it wasn't his Spiderman costume which he lives in most days. Monster trucks and dinosaurs are pretty much his life. We're going to Monster Truck Jam in March.

Ever since his birth, Miles has been along for the ride. From trips to Fairfield, Destin, Myrtle Beach, the zoo, Cumberland Falls, the boy was born to be flexible. Sure, he has his inflexible moments too, but we couldn't ask for a better baby (who's no longer a baby but a toddler).

I could write a novel about a my sweet husband. He's my very best friend, the type of guy who does and helps out without being asked. He feeds our kids each morning and bathes them each night. He always makes sure that I have time for myself and understands my need for space and sanity. He's allowing for all of us which makes my life pretty sweet! I'm lucky to have such an awesome husband, example, spiritual leader, and friend.
