Happy New Year

Happy 1-1-11 @ 11:11. Love the numbers game.

New Years Eve found us going out for Chinese food as we do every year, then coming home and watching the Twilight Zone marathon until I fell asleep.

New Years Day had us out Geocaching in below zero weather, breaking through ice in a swamp, and tramping through snowy woods and rock hard mud filled farm fields. Crazy but fun.
Came home and continued watching the Twilight Zone marathon.

May 2011 be your best year yet. Mine too.

Hat, Hello, House

The title of this post has nothing to do with anything. I'm just continuing my December posts that start with "H" and I had my family yell out the first word that comes to mind, that starts with "H".
So, hat, hello, house.
This is my 80th post of the year!
Of the YEAR!
As compared to 234 of 2009.
What on earth did I have to say in 2009?
As I look back at 2009 posts, it was a lot of "who really cares" posts.
I guess that's why 2010 posts were way down. Who really cares?
I don't mean this as a mean girl thing. I just didn't care to post if I had a Terrific Tuesday or a Wordless Wednesday or a Fall On My Face Friday.
Although posting a Fall On My Face Friday might have been amusing.

Christmas was nice. It was here and gone so quickly. All the preparation over the months and in a flash it's over.
It's been a fast year. My girls are growing way too fast. I'm heading in to a new phase of girl attitudes. Both good and bad. God help me.
A few photos of my growing girls.

sigh...where did my babies go?

Another year about to end. It's been good.

Happy 10-10-10 @ 10:10.10 p.m.

I figure I won't be around at the next 10-10-10 @10:10.10, so I'll wish you a happy cool month, date, year, hour and seconds, now.

Let's meet next year on 11-11-11 @ 11:11.11.

Last Day of 2008

Today is the last day of 2008. It was a good year. I thought the Lord would have come back by now, but what do I know. I guess He has 23 hours and some minutes left to do so, if God so chooses to send Him. Anyway, what kind of year has this been for me? It's been ok. Nothing earth shattering happened, except my cat died, but I'll have a special post about him on the day he died, (Jan 26). Perry and I celebrated 9 years of marriage. My first born entered 1st grade. My baby turned 4. I got a year older. The summer was great, but flew by after July 4. I continued to seek the Lord as I do today. I enjoy seeking Him. Oh, I had fights with my husband, got crazy at my kids, wanted to run away a few times, but found my sanity and went on with the day. Did I mention perimenopause decided to show up? It can leave anytime now. I didn't have enough time with friends. I found new friends, from this blogging world, I never met in person, but can't wait to see in heaven. That's you :o) I really don't think I have ever prayed so much and so hard, as I've done this year. For family members, for friends, for church people, but I think mostly for people in blog land that I don't know personally. I love to pray. I believe God gave me that gift, and to Him I am grateful, and thankful. Yes, 2008 was great, because the Lord gave me every day in it. And I'm sure 2009 will be fine, as long as I lean on the love of our everlasting Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Give praise and honor and glory to God. What a thing to live for.
