Happy New Year!

Wow, I can't believe that a whole new year has begun. I don't know about you but I didn't make any resolutions this year. I just found out that within the first 3 months of the year 97% of all resolutions made are broken. In the past my resolution was always within that percentage. :) Looking back over the past year it is amazing to see how God has moved through all the different circumstances and happenings in my life. In all of the "good", "bad" and unexpected happenings God has been there and has blessed my life through everything. God is good and faithful. Thank you God. It is such a blessing to know that this year He will be with me again to see me through it all. He is my peace and piller of strength.

On a different note, I wanted to mention that the "baby names" on the side do not include the actual eventual name of my daughter. I hope that you didn't get too excited. But do still vote. I'd love to see which one you guys like the best. So far poor Unice Rose hasn't had any takers. I'm so shocked. ;)

Jason and I had some young people over last night. Most showed up after midnight to a sort of "after party" sort of thing. I went to bed around 2:30 AM and have no idea when everybody else called it quits. I'll have to ask my husband after he wakes up... maybe I'll know by tomorrow. I was very disappointed (but amused) with the Seattle midnight celebration. Someone definately lost their job there. Fireworks, no music. Music, no fireworks. Rinse, repeat. It was all sad, very sad. I hope you all had a great New Years Eve.

If any of you are interested Jason made this AWESOME photo gallery of all our pictures of the past... well, forever. You should be able to get to it by clicking on http://picasaweb.google.com/jasonmnelson.

Well, it is time for me to sign off. S'later 'gator.
