A New Year....

Well, here is to a new year with all sorts of possibilities! I really am not one for new year resolutions, I feel that these are things that I should be tackling all year long. Once I have accomplished one, move on to the other.
Last year went by quickly and was a roller coaster of a ride...but I will never regret a moment of it! God teaches one how to "hang on" when you jump on that roller coaster from the get go!
A very big thank you to the friends who stood by me through the thick and the thin...who never gave up on me and encouraged me through it all, even on the tough days when I was probably a pain!

I look forward to getting myself into the gym...that sounds like a resolution doesn't it? :) Well, I NEED to get into the gym. I want to get myself ready for Bloomsday and a couple of other races this year. I HATE running, but figure it is good for me to do it. Conquor something I hate doing! HA!!! I also want to do a couple of bike races this summer...hopefully my back will cooperate. Back pain just sucks...plain a simple..sucks.
The girls had a really good first half of the school year. Both are getting straight A's and are a "joy to have in class". Easton was recognized as student of the month for October, which was an honor for us. She is so very smart and kind...a role model for me! Avery is just loved by everyone and she seems to know everyone too! How is that? She is only in 3rd grade?
Eric is doing well at AU. Job is slowing down with the economy and several employees were laid off. We are blessed that Eric still has a job. God has been gracious! Eric has also started taking a Krav Maga class in Liberty Lake. It is a contact combat/self defense technique...very cool stuff. He has been teaching myself and the girls some moves...it's fun watching Avery take dad down! Ok, not really...but if she had to, I think she could!
Well, now I need to work...yipee!
