Change is in the Air

This is a picture of the girls opening their movies from Mimi and Papa-stinkin' cuties!
This is all the cousins on Steven's side of the family watching Polar Express 3D on Christmas day! How much fun they had together!

The big girl cousins heading out to the trampoline-look how cute my Sky is :o)

This is daddy and Skylar in the tree, what's funny is she was actually really scared, but I told her I wouldn't help her down til she gave me a smile (am I mean or what?!?!).

And this is my Skylar swinging on the authentic rope swing (made with rope and a stick):And this is the beautiful sky on Christmas day, the day that our savior was born. What a view we had on our walk!

And lastly, this is my hubby on Hannah's razor scooter. I'm not trying to brag, but he is catching mad air and is one of the most amazing athletes I know! You rock, Steven! I especially love how his hair is flying up :o)

And that's pretty much our Christmas in picture form (and if you're wondering where Aidan was while we were playing outside, she was taking a three and a half hour nap in Reed's big boy bed!!!)!

Moving on to other things now, if you can't already tell by the look of my blog, I'm ready for a change! We've been talking about moving for some time now, and I'm ready! I'm also ready for the new year.

These past few years of my life have been pretty rough and tumble. There were times when I couldn't even tell you which way was up because I was in such a dark place, but I'm beginning to feel all that is changing. I've just been feeling "moved" lately. Like I know God is talking to me. Sometimes I am still not the best listener, sometimes I'm sure I even "hear" it wrong, but I know He's talking, and that for me is huge! All this time that I've been angry and bitter has just been wasted time. It has been nothing but detrimental to my relationship with my husband, children, and even my friends. So, it has been a long time coming (and a long time in the works), but I'm ready to go public with my change! I am going to be happy. Happy happy happy. I love my children with all my heart and, if you ask me, I couldn't have asked for a better husband to spend my life with. Here's to being thankful for what you have instead of longing for the things you don't. This may seem silly to some, but I really have been feeling almost lighter, if you will, because I know that there are things being lifted off of me that I've harbored for a long long time. I'm super excited about this!

So, here's to the new year and to all of you out there making new year's resolutions, I wish you the best of luck! May God bless you and your's in 2009!
