My 1st "New Year's Bloggy Resolution"...

Ok, so it's 2012...really?!?! Could this be possible?! Lots I could say about that and how quickly 2011 whisked on by me, but...

What I really want to say is...Wowzers! Who'd of thought that I would hit 2012 with my 30 Thankful Days still unfinished. Yah, sad, isn't it?!

This is definitely NOT from a lack of things to be thankful for. So, my 1st New Year's Resolution in Blog Land is to FINISH that up.

Here it is--the abbreviated version of my 30 Thankful Days {#13-30}.

Bare with me...I will try to keep this short and sweet ;)
Ok, {deep breath} GO!


#13. A wonderful Christmas with my sweet lil' family {and that it is over, too!}
(Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas, but it sure makes me miss my family, esp. this year!)

#14. 2012--A year full of changes for our family and free of mistakes...well, almost. Glad to start with a clean slate and see what the Lord will do with us this year.

#15. 26 weeks prego.--get to meet my baby girl in 14 weeks (or less!!!)

#16. Get to see my family and introduce them to our 2 youngest in just 6 MONTHS!!!

#17. Our Pastor and his family are back from their furlough {and the church is still in tact in spite of their absence!}

#18. My daughter is moving out of my Sunday School class...this makes me a bit sad, but so proud of how big she is and how much she is learning about the Lord.

#19. Ethan's precious and mischievous smile, his little dimples, and the new sprinkling of tiny freckles on his chubby cheeks. ♥

#20. My growing, alien life-form, baby bump ♥

#21. The kiddie pool my kids got for Christmas--it has provided hours of fun for all of us already!

#22. Camp Season starts next week! Much to do, but looking forward to seeing God work and hearing my hubby preach!

#23. New books and yummy treats from my Mom and Dad

#24. My hubby loves me...even when I am hot, hormonal, fat, and just plain grumpy.

#25. Ethan's rendition of "Jingle Bells" --"Jiggle Bews, Jiggle Bews WAAAYYY!"

#26. Friends that stick by the stuff and encourage me from across the miles--be it from blogs, Facebook, notes, emails, or phone calls.

#27. Christmas cards in the mail--especially new photos to put up on the fridge! They always make me smile.

#28. Air conditioning in our office--my own little haven from the heat!

#29. Food in the fridge and cupboards {hmmm...now what to make for dinner? lol}

#30. That God hasn't given up on me yet! I'm still  "in the making".

WHEEW!!!

Happy New Year!
