Happy New Year~2009

Wow, so my attempt to start blogging a month ago didn't last long, so I try , try again to get into the habit of somehow, someway journaling and communicating regularly!

Someone asked me last night( while my Johnny and Jonni were gone on their special daddy/daughter- 13 year old trip)-- what is your New Year's tradition?.... umm.... I had to think, and answer- we don't have one. Each new year (and new year's eve) is different! Rarely have we had two New Year's in a row in the same house, or with the same people. Some have been spent at home, asleep before the ball drops, some have been spent with family playing games, some at church functions, some with dear friends, one was even in Korea with my hubby, and one I barely made it out of the hospital(kidney infection during a move while I was pregnant) yeah- not my favorite!

For a second I was sad we didn't have a tradition, but then I changed my mind-- I like adventure and I am content and happy with the life God has given us! We know how to adjust, we know how to adapt, we know how to change, even when it hurts! We have experienced different places with different people at different times! I wouldn't change it if I could. I am thankful for ALL the different experiences we have had and all the people we have met along the way and as I thought about it-- I got excited about ALL the experiences we haven't even had or thought of having yet, that God knows are coming! I am excited for this new year, excited for what God brings, whether it is small change or big change, God has good plans and I trust Him!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
