New Projects for 2012

Casting on something new......

...out with the old- in with the new.

Happy New Year!  Out with the old and in with the new!

This year for me will be a Holy Year- I will be more intentional in my daily devotions, attendance to sunday services, focusing our family towards service, prayers with EJ nightly, turning to God first!

This will be a Healthy Year- I will once again participate in the Avenue of the Giants 1/2 Marathon. I will once again been participating in the EA Active 30day Challenge. Once EJ goes to bed at 8pm only then will I will watch Days and use the eliptical, I will be in bed with lights out by 10pm.

This will be a Happy Year- From intentionally surrounding myself with positive people, focusing my crafting to specific projects, and working/challenging ourselves to become debt free. Slowing down and enjoying a novel, and I will be taking pleasure in simple things.

My resolutions are simple:

1. work my way through the bible in a year

2. FPU baby steps 1 and 2

3. post every sunday night on this blog (yes i already failed)

4. be more active- train for a 1/2 marathon

5. keep positive, remember who and what actually matters!!

...seriously????

I had someone tell me the other day

that she was jealous that I was so organized.

It made me think seriously??....

Where is the world did anyone get an idea that

I was organized, is that what I project- AWESOME

Reality is that I am the most scattered packrack

you can possibly imagine- I have decided that by

the end of the year, at least my office needs to

appear to be organized- and in the spirit of

full disclosure- I will give you a before picture

My office/homework/library/craftroom/yarnstash

I will post the after picture in January 2013-

...like father like son

Nothing says I love you like sharing the Xbox controller- this is a special moment I walked into last Sunday.

...in remembrance

I will never forget this awful time,
as I grieve over my loss.
Yet I still dare to hope
when I remember this:

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.

Lamentations 3:20-23

...farewell Borders

Less than $100 and more than 30 novels brandnew- I have always loved Borders, the place where I have partied like a Rockstar dressed to impress the staff of Hogwarts- (HarryPotter 5/6/7 releases). I have spent countless hours in the cozy chairs amongst the classics of the literature section knitting just one more row whiles waiting for the release of Breaking Dawn the novel, and three of the four movies- where am I going to chant with the Tweens of America at 11:58pm "we want Edward" when finally there is a release of the newest cinema installment of Stephenie Meyers finest hours? *******************************

Farewell Borders, you have served me well,

don't take it too personal that I cleared out your shelves-

I promise to read them all!!!!
