Happy New Year to all our Friends and Family!!! I can't believe it's 2007 already....but I am happy...cause it means one really great thing (amongst others!)...only three years till Mark retires and we move to WI!!

So I couldn't blog about the New Year without talking about resolutions! I have several...some trivial...some big. I want to get healthy. This means lose a little weight, but mostly get back into shape. With kids and school and life in general, I have allowed ME to get put on the back burner. I turned 40 this year and so I need to get healthy again. A healthy ME will be a better Wife, Mom, friend! :)

I will finish my degree this year! Which means I will be using this year to get my feet wet in the legal world! Getting my degree with be THE biggest thing I've ever done (OTHER than have my children of course!) that will give me a pride beyond belief....I can't wait!

I resolve to learn to handle the 'difficult' people in my life with more Grace. To give them the benefit of the doubt. To undersand that their intentions may really be good. And if they really AREN'T good, I will still show them Grace. It will make me a better person in the long run, and I will get rid of so much 'drama' that comes with these people.

And I resolve to just enjoy life. I had a serious health scare last year. But I have been free of the illness for a year, and so I have been given a clean bill of health. But it showed me that life is too short and you never know when your time is up. I have been given the gift of more life. I don't intend to waste a second of it!

So Happy New Year to all my friends and Family. You are all important and special to me. I couldn't imagine starting the New Year without any of you!

Hugs...
Mark, Jaye and Gang
