The new year

One of my goals this year (there are many) is to keep up on my blog. I need to remember to get the special moments down so that we don't forget. My other goals are: to get more into the word and have bible reading time alone. To read to the kids more. They both love to hear stories. To get the house organized and stay that way. To finish college and get a career started. And finally to take better care of myself.

This year has started off pretty well I am making an honest effort to take better care of myself. I am putting on makeup regularly and doing my hair in more ways than down or in a ponytail. I am continuing with the gym and losing weight. I finally got into regular pants and was able to buy them! Reading to the kids has been a great addition to our day. The kids just soak it up! School is really interesting this term. I am taking some classes that have very violent subject matter which is hard for me to hear and see but I think I need to so that I can be aware and knowledgeable when I get out into the field of work I am hoping for.

I cannot wait to see what God has in store for the kids and I this year. He has blessed me way more than I could ever deserve. He gives me little encouragements all the time.
