New Year's Resolution...be a better blogger!!

i know ya'll don't believe me, but i'm serious!!! i am vowing to be better at my blog this coming year. i don't know why i have been such a slacker...i think the main reason is b/c i was working and when things were slow in the office, i'd blog! shocker!

and guess what, the "home office" doesn't seem to have as much dead time. :)

but, the holidays have come and gone, i cannot believe it. they were wonderful, and jackson had so much fun! he got a nifty bike, and thinks he's such a big boy. :)


In other news:

1. My sis is coing in from the big D this weekend and josh and i have set her up on a blind date with this great guy that has helped a bit with our youth group, and who coincidentally, another one of our couple friends thought they should meet as well...so it wasn't just josh and I!! Oh yeah!! this could be the one. (ha ha) I am not going to disclose any details at the moment, but can i just say i am so excited she actually is letting us set it up and is willing to go along with it? so proud of you Kar!!! It's going to be fun, and heck, if he isn't yo' type, so be it. :) an update on this to come after the weekend!

2. i am so excited for my newest sweet pal, Katy Svoboda. She's pregnant and having a baby in July! and like me, has been wanting her 2nd baby for a while now. i am THRILLED for her and have enjoyed her sweet friendship since i've been in waco these short few months. Hope to join ya soon sista! :)

3. Our house still hasn't sold...but over the holidays we felt like the Lord just confirmed to us one of the reasons why it hasn't sold. There was a couple that our realtor knew in Nashville from San Diego adopting a little baby. they needed a house to stay in for a few weeks while they finished up some court stuff and paperwork etc...well, hey, our house was empty, and was fully equipped for a lil nugget, so it worked out for them to rent our house for a few weeks. even tho we never met them, there was a sweet connection with them and they were the sweetest couple! They did lil maintenance things around our house for us, raked leaves in the yard, etc...what a blessing that was, and they were adopting a baby boy, so being in Jackson's room was so special for them. Isn't that so cool? God is just so creative in how he works. Ok Lord, now let's sell the house ok. :) It's time.

Hi Sally. I just saw your comment on Nicki's blog and thought I'd pop over and say hi. I know Ronny has seen Josh, but I hadn't even said hello since you moved back to Waco. Welcome back! We should get our little boys together sometime! Hope y'all are doing well.
