This is the year that Mark comes home from his mission ... actually 42 days ... but who's counting? haha
Also Brian and Chrisinda are going to be married at the end of February.
Mark is talking about taking a trip back down to Argentina around April-ish timeframe and I know Sharon is planning on going with him. Jimmy is suppose to go too. And I'm hoping to also go with them.
I'm planning a trip to Chicago in June to finally meet in person a lot of my new girlfriends from my digital scrapbooking classes over at JessicaSprague.com. That is gonna be the biggest "hug-fest" Chicago has ever seen. Those gals are the most creative, kind, generous, wonderful people I've had the pleasure to know. Can't wait to meet them.
Andy and Kat got engaged on Christmas Eve and they are talking about a wedding before the end of the year.
So our family has a lot to look forward to this year.
I've had time off from work since Dec. 22nd and still have a few more days of vacation left. I've thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in, watching movies, working on my laptop, deepening friendships, munching on Christmas goodies, visiting with out-of-town family, and enjoying time spent with my family. This could so easily get addicting!!!!
This morning I've been playing around on the Internet at a site that one of my JS girlfriends shared with us. BigHugeLabs.com. I created a mosiac of my grandson Garrett from photos I took and uploaded to Flickr. He is such a cutie! I just adore his smile!
These photos were taken on Halloween. The bottom right photo is with his brothers, Logan (left) and Jackson (right).
This year, I'm not going to create a long resolutions list. My hopes and plans for this year are simple (though not simple to actually complete). I'm hoping that this year will be the year that we get the house de-cluttered and organized. I'm hoping for air-conditioning before summer hits again! So ... any volunteers to help accomplish these "mountainous" tasks? Hmmmm???? Don't everyone speak up at once!!!! Hellloooooo? Anyone out there? Sigh ... well, that's my dream and hopes for this year.
OK ... so HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!!
