Resolution #1

Along with many people I made some New Years resolutions, although I am not convinced that they really work. I made the list short in hopes that the things on it would actually be eventually carried out.

One of my resolutions was "Become more organized". Thats pretty broad, but oh well. :D

And so in an attempt follow this resolution, I purchased 3 items today. First was a big calendar that I am going to hang on my wall; it has really fun colors and designs for each month. Second is a folder with 8 organizational pockets ( I love the green and polka dots too!!!) that I am going to use for school and university info. Last but no least is my new brown daily planner. I have never had one of these before and hope that it might make my life just a tad easier.

I have this feeling that the planner is going to be a "friend" and will probably get more travel time then Freddy (poor guy).

My new planner!!! Look at all the room to write!!!! :D

2009

Today is the last day of 2008 and tomorrow is the first day of 2009!!!
Where did the time go?
2008 has been a record year in many ways for my family, for the world and for me... 1st completed year of college, daddy loses his job, ride our horses, first black president elected, first college acceptance letter, 26 basketball games attended in one season, new paint job on our house, I turned 18, first cruise (and probably the last), and so many wonderful blessings from the Lord!
The years fly so fast and so I pray that each one of us will enjoy the blessings of each year and be content with where the Lord has placed us and what He wants us to do. Each year is different... full of adventure, trial, and trust in our Savior.
Aside from all the records of this year, more important things have occurred. Christ has become infinitely more dear to me and I marvel in the grace and love that He shows day in and day out. I also feel so very thankful for the people He has chosen to place in my life. Truly amazing and wonderful people that have made life fun, crazy, hard, and full of blessing.
Have the most marvelous New Year everyone!!!! I will see most of you next year!
