This year has been a year full of changes. We started the year after just being in our brand new home less than a month. In January I finally broke down and signed up on myspace. I can't believe I've been on it an entire year. It's amazing being able to keep up with family and friends. Some that I hadn't seen in years. I joined the fire department in January. I also started listing stuff like crazy on Ebay in hopes of buying my new stackable washer and dryer and was able to  pay cash for it  close to February. In Feb. there was a big ice storm. Luckily we only lost power for a couple hours one day. One of the scariest days of my life happened in March when our car struck a train. I still feel so lucky that we were going so slow. If we hadn't been I can't even imagine the impact on our lives. In April we used part of the money from the train accident to put in the tin horn for our driveway and our back deck and we bought two cars. I also got a new job at Lazy Lee's. May I was swamped with cake orders and after weeks of stressful nights and filling out a police complaint form against a stupid psyco. I made the decision to quit my job. I enjoyed working there but after being threatened by a customer I felt it wasn't worth it. Mandie came to live with us in May also. In June I was busy playing in my garden and swimming in the new pool we bought. July was my birthday and Jacob and we had lots of fun! July came a big decision to move my blog to it's current location here at Musecrafters. I spent more time in August with my computer broken than I did with it fixed! School started and we finally put in our circle driveway. September it ended up raining out several of our craft fairs and really set the mood for what the rest of the year was going to be like. We started having car trouble in October. The only good thing that seemed to happen in Fall was the football games in which Ryan and the boys had a GREAT season! November was Thanksgiving and it seems like only last week. December went by so quick I don't even remember most of it except for being super stressed and our car blowing up. Christmas came though and at least for a couple days things were good.

Here's to a new year. Hopefully it will be the best one yet!
