Happy New Year!!!!

I was really trying to post this before midnight!  Oh fudge!  I was busy catching up on emails!  Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Can you believe it, 2008??!!!  Thank God I made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :)

You'll be excited to know we moved some furniture, pots and pans and food into the new house so we were able to bring in the new year there!  It was very exciting.  Mom and Dad are just tickled, to say the least.  There was yummy food, fireworks, vodka, champagne but most importantly family.  You can't ask for more than that, right?

I spent today trying to pack boxes.  If you ask my Momma she'll be able to tell you how many times I've moved since I was 19.  I think this move makes it 11.  Let me mention, I hate the packing and unpacking.  Oh but I am unbelievably excited about this move!!!!!!!!  YEA!!!!

We had dinner again together with the Browning's who have actually slept in the new house these last couple of days.  They are headed back to DC tomorrow.  :(  I will probably be returning there in February.  I know that's very soon.  What can I tell you besides seeing the Browning bunch again, I get to see the whales and don't forget the man is there too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :)

I hope as you celebrated the coming of the new year, you were reminded of all there is to be thankful for.  I also hope you were able to exhale with thoughts of any obstacles you overcame.  Remember, there has to be a balance of both in life.  Without sadness, you can never experience true joy.  Without tragedy, you cannot experience true gratitude and the grace of living life in the moment.  Love without conditions, laugh without caring what others think, and treasure every second you have.  Tomorrow isn't promised to any of us.

Thank you for continuing to share this journey with me.  I sure do love y'all.
