wow...

...it's been almost a whole month since I've posted! Sorry! It's just that December is a very busy month for us, what with the holidays, plus three of us kids have birthdays in December, and one in early January! Busy busy! ;-)

So, how was everyone's Christmas and New Years? We had a nice quiet Christmas Eve at home opening gifts and celebrating just our family, and then on Christmas Day we went to Massachusetts to celebrate with my dad's family! We had a lot of fun on both days. :-)

For New Years, we went to a friends house. We had dinner there, than talked and played games til midnight, and celebrated the end of an old year, and the beginning of the new year! It seems hard to believe its 2008 already! Wow!

Well, this is going to have to be all for now! Sorry its short...just be happy I'm finally posting again! ;-)

I'll try not to let a whole nother month go by before I post again!

Happy New Year everyone!

Award, music meme....

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted! :-/


My sweet friend Amy gave me this "award". Thanks Amy! :D All right, so, I guess I have to give it to a few other people who I want to stay "blog friends forever" with. I'd give it back to Amy, but she already has it so....

I'll give it to:

~Samantha. She's so sweet, and I've really enjoyed getting to know her through blogs and forums! She also always has really pretty templates and really nice posts on her blog! :)

~HannahBeth. I've gotten to know her through forums lately too, and she's a lot of fun and really sweet! And I love visiting her blog...she always has great pictures and posts about her and her family! :D

To end with, here's a fun music meme:

1. Put your music player on shuffle.

2. Press forward for each question.

3. Use the song title as the answer to each question.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! :D

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. ~Psalm 95:1-6

I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving today, as you visit with family and friends, enjoy good food, and most of all, thank God for His many blessings!
