Ok people. Paul is back in school. Although it was depressing to get up earlier and drop him off, it is also refreshing. It is time to get back in a routine and finish school. Is he graduated already?
I have had a month of not thinking, not doing...just being with a family. I haven't planned meals, clipped coupons, or washed baseboards. I have been working a lot, which is exhausting. Being a waitress is fun but goodness gracious, I think I am getting too old. There is a reason I only work twice a week.
I have finally been able to do some reflecting on last year. I am proud that I attend the gym regularly (I haven't really lost weight...only been more hungry) although I know I am stronger and healthier. I am proud that I have survived without the Blaus & Yamniks, you have no idea how lonely it has been. I am proud that we borrowed less loan money and lived off our tax return this summer. I am proud of Paul for working so hard, getting scholarships and being great. I am proud of Eden who now loves to say prayers. I am proud David will fold his arms and say "amen".
What about this year? I will:
give All homemade gifts. I have a sewing machine. I can copy any easy idea. I have some creative talent and I love making things. I want this year to be meaningful. This also means I won't be looking in the stores to please myself or others.

You and your sister look so much alike! How much longer does Paul have? I am jealous - not even kidding - that you went to Graceland. We would LOVE to go on a trip to NASHVILLE and just have a blast! If that ever happens and you are in Mississippi - we will get together! Oh, on Sunday, my primary kids had a blast learning how to spell Mississippi - they wondered how I could spell it so fast...he he
Cyndi - I did that this year somewhat. I made a lot of stuff. Unfortanately I procrastinated so December was busy busy busy, but all done and worth it. I will probably do it again this year. I wish you the best of luck in all your projects. Not too long until Paul is done and then to Logan :) Right?
