Well, I rang in the new year by falling asleep at 9:15 reading a book! I feel like I have a newborn again because Matthew has been up a lot at night with throat pain so anytime I sit down, I feel the sleepies coming on!
The best New Year's Eve of my life was 1997/98 when Bryon and I celebrated at Times Square. The windchill that evening was -5 degrees and we were stuck standing in a crowd for hours, but I am happy to have had that experience. New Year's Eve from then on haven't quite lived up to that!
I stayed home with Matthew this morning while Bryon took the younger two to church. After church, my parents and grandmother joined us at home for a New Years feast complete with black eyed peas and chocolate crossaint bread pudding.
As I look back on 2005, I can say that our family was blessed. It was a quiet year without a lot of big changes. Since I am someone who doesn't like change, I guess it was a good year! This year will start off with two big changes in our family. I will gain a sister in law in March and a nephew in April.
We all have fallen in love with Jilinda, Michael's fiance'. We couldn't have handpicked a more suitable companion for Michael. She is beautiful, fun to be around, and loves my kids. Seeing Michael so happy and complete has been such a blessing to our entire family.
This year, we will also celebrate our 10th anniversary. It should be a fun summer!
I wish everyone a happy and blessed 2006!
Had a thought.
