2008: KIND OF A MIXED BAG OF STUFF

New Year's Eve, 2007: The clock hits midnight, the ball drops, Pete and I kiss and I think to myself, "2008 is going to be a fantatic year. NOT!

Here it is, February 12th and, so far, this year has....well....not 100%, but let's face it...it's just kinda sucked. :-(

It all started out all fine and dandy...then I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. OUCH!

Two days later, Pete's dad suffered a stroke. He has been in the hospital for over 1 month now, and tomorrow, we are moving him into a nursing home :-( That is just one big, hard dedicision that you hope you never have to make for your parents.

Okay...happy and good things happened too! Phill and Jessica got engaged on January 13th, their two year dating anniversary! They have a July 11, 2009 wedding planned. I sure couldn't ask for a better daughter-in-law! I'm way psyched about it!!! :-)

Phill moved out yesterday into an appartment with his friend, Luke. I know it's going to be a good thing for him, and it was definitely time for him to be on his own, but I know I'm gonna miss him. I am very proud of him, though. :-)

All in all, I do know that the Lord is in control of all of this. It's just been a rough start to the year. With an official 6 minutes of sunshine so far for February, I just think I am ready for vacation. Ahhhhh.....memories of sunny Cocoa Beach!!!!! I'm ready!!!!! LET'S GO!!!!
