I'm Sorry!

I haven't posted in awhile, I'm BUSY! I've got my hands full with a 3 yr. old, taxes, business stuff, household stuff and a really intense Bible reading plan. I have a strong feeling that this year is going to be very fruitful and very filled and hectic. I expect that I'm not going to have a great deal of time to spend on the computer. My family needs me, my house needs me and somewhere along the lines the Lord may bring us another child. I figure if that's the case I'm pretty much done for ha ha!

I would like to have more time to update here but I'm not sweating it because my life is so full and rich - I have to live and go and do and be. I've got the bull by the horns...WHEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

2008 Aspirations

I don't make resolutions because I try to live everyday as my best. I also don't like setting myself up to fail which happens all to often with New Year resolutions.

I do have a few items I'd like to concentrate as the year goes on, things that I have been planning on making a priority. This is going to be one busy and great year!

1. Read through the Bible.
I was reading over at Brandy's site that she had joined a group that was reading the Bible in 90 days. I don't know what group this is but it sparked my interest and I searched online for a reading breakdown and found one. I had been wanting to start a plan (not just because it was the beginning of the year) and I think this one fits in with my life right now. It's a lot of reading each day but I read when I eat my meals (physical and spiritual food).

2. Organize Pictures - Online & Hard Copies
I have pictures and pictures and pictures that I have never organized for years! I have box upon box upon bin upon drawer of pictures. Now that I have a son I want to make some scrapbooks for him and get everything organized and copied and filed and and and...
This job is not for the weak of heart. I anticipate starting this in February and it will probably take me all year.

3. Fill My Craft Store With New Knits
I have some new patterns and colors that I'd like to use in my "2008 Line" if you will. I am trying some new patterns out to see how they will work. I haven't perfected the new hat I want to feature. I would like to add some baby/toddler knitwear.

4. Foster Care
I am taking Foster Care training and we plan on having another home study done in the hopes of finding a child to adopt (which leads to #5).

5. Organize Playroom/Schoolroom and Garage
I need to have an organized and properly functioning home if the state is coming in to evaluate us and if we are going to have more children. This must be done S-O-O-N!


All of my aspirations will be worked on while doing a good bit of traveling back home often, raising my son, caring for my husband and home and I also plan to have a large yard sale in early summer.

Oh yes! I will be busy!
