Well, happy New Year, all! And White Rabbit, too.
What's weirdest to me about 2007 is that we're only 12 months from 2008. I don't know why that is so shocking to me, but it is. This year will mark 10 years since I graduated from college and next year will be 15 years since high school.
My goodness, I'm old.
On that note, it's 9 p.m. and time for me to go to bed. Happy New Year!

A little more about me
I am....
wife of Dennis, my sweet love - the kindest, gentlest, funniest, smartest man I've ever known and EXACTLY the man for whom I prayed (and not at all who I thought I wanted but thankfully, God is wiser than I);
mother of Annalivia '05, Daniel '07, Emmeliese '09, Peter '10, and Elora (born into the arms of Jesus '13) the hearts of my own heart, joys of my life, far more than I ever prayed for because my mind could never conceive of such wonderfully intricate and delightful little beings;
granddaughter of grandparents who taught me to love fiercely and forgive freely and that it is better to be respectful rather than proved right and grateful rather than gratified;
daughter of two amazing people who have devoted themselves to their children and family and have continued to figure out ways to love each other;
sister of three incredibly intelligent, clever, imaginative, zany younger sisters, my best friends, who are crazy enough to keep coming back, even though I do all sorts of things to drive them nuts;
friend of some hilarious people from kindergarten, grade school, high school, college, seminary and beyond;
former pastor learning the joys and challenges of being called to be home full-time-ish while volunteer-teaching at a teeny classical school;
pilgrim bumbling forward on this amazingly glorious journey towards Home.

Aw, don't feel old. I will always be MUCH older than you! ;)
Happy New Year to you and Dennis, Annalivia, Li'l Bit, and all your loved ones! Thank you for being a blessing to me these past couple of months.
Prayers offered DAILY as you approach your due date.
Happy New Year to you too April! I feel old too! BUUUTT every year I get older is just another year that I was alive and had to spend with my kids and my husband, family and friens! That's how I'm trying to look at aging now anyway!! =)
