until 2007. Wow this year went by fast - faster than other years I think!

It's hard to believe!

I just looked back at last years New Year's Eve blog post - interesting indeed!!

Here's a quote:
So what will 2006 bring? My hopes - dh, ds, dd and I to grow closer together as a family; me living healthy and slimmer; the retaking up of piano; a bigger house; and all of us growing closer to God.

Interesting to me because I am a bit slimmer - not a lot, I'm working on that still for this next year. I have taken up piano again - much to my delight! We're still living in the same house. We are getting closer as a family, not as close as I like but we're getting there. DH and I have managed to have a date at least once a month since our anniversary - something I promised myself I'd make happen when we went to Vegas for our anniversary in the summer. I think our relationship with God has gotten better to - He's been more of a focus. I have not done too well in this aspect in the last couple of weeks though so I'm hoping to change that back.

So as a recap: in 2006 my ds turned 9, my dd turned 5, dh and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary, that part time job I started last year expanded into something much more this year with my taking on of the Children's Ministry's Coordinator, and life continued to happen along.

I think I took a more active part in life this last year though! It was a good year.

I'm excited to see what 2007 has in store - I'd still like that bigger house, but realize that might be a couple of years away still. My goal of us going closer together gets to stay. I'm adding to my goal for the year to get the Children's Ministry up and running into a vibrant active fun part of the church - a place kids are telling other kids about and they want to be there. This is going to take a lot more work then I'm putting into it even now and it's going to take a good dose of help from the Lord and a good deal of casting aside fear on my part. But with God all things are possible!!

Happy New Year!!!
