It's A New Year....

I love New Years! I love a new start! It's silly how a one on the calendar can change my perspective, my motivation, and my attitude.  Kevin and I are very much routine people. We don't like change.  After being married for almost 10 years we can pretty much guess on what the other person is going to do, want to do, or say. Back when he was in his residency we would sit in our one bedroom nasty livable apartment on our broken futon and pray about our year and set goals for what we "wanted" to accomplish.  I say "wanted" because we know that God often has other plans for us.   I LOVE that we still do this. I have a folder with our goals, dreams, and plans for each year.  Sometimes "our" lists gets crossed off and sometimes it doesn't.  My favorite years to look back on are 2006 when sweet Zachary was born, or 2010 when Kevin's office was built, or 2011 when Will was born. Those are blessings where God out-gave and out-blessed our little family.  This year Kevin and I had our "Annual Goals session" on a 3 hour car trip coming home from a weekend away. 

I am excited for what God does in 2013. Kevin and I have big and small goals.  After the Conneticut incident (I say incident because we did not tell Zachary about it) I realized that I want to continue to capture our everyday life on this blog.  I am in the process of moving to a new blog address...one that includes baby boy #2 in the address. LOL! But one that I can really start focusing on our memories.  I really don't care if anyone reads its more just for me to cling to when the boys are all grown up and out of the house.  I love my previous blog books or ask Kevin calls them "Family Year Books". I'm sick that I lost about 14 months worth of blogging because I was too busy taking care of a newborn &  5 year old.  I'm really going to focus on making up for lost time and getting back into the daily habit of blogging.  That's  my 2013 goal. So let's see how it goes.
