WOW time flies

I started writing here on this blog one year ago. I thought it would be fun to share stories, vent from time to time and discuss all kinds of topics going on in this world. I was right. I found that I did enjoy writing little articles for my blog. So here I am at a new year and it has taken me 8 days to write my first one. Plus I realized I haven't told anyone about how wonderful my Christmas was.

So here we go. On Christmas day I was able to have some time with Brandon before he went to visit his dad's family for their annual Christmas breakfast. We opened presents from each other and had a beautiful time. I was given an present picked out and wrapped especially by Brandon. It was a rock from the yard, a big one. He told me that I could display it in my classroom since I teach science. We set up the Wii that he got from Santa and played a few games before he had to go.
After he left I got myself ready to go out and headed to the Atlanta airport to pick up Dan. The flight was on time and everything went pretty smoothly. We had a nice lunch at Waffle house, open 365 days a year and then headed to the house to play Wii and wait for Brandon to come back home.
On the 26th we had Christmas with my family, we had fun watching the magic of Christmas through all the little one's eyes. We had a big meal together and then played games til late in the night.
It was the best Christmas I have had in a LONG time. I have the best friends and family anyone could ever wish for.

Now as for New Year's resolutions.
I don't really make too many of these because they are so easily broken and forgotten. But this year I have help with really my only one. I have decided to read the Bible in chronological order throughout the year. I also recruited Dan for the task. We found a schedule and we are making sure that we are following the schedule and even discussing what we read for each day. So far we have made it a full week and I look forward to my time in the Bible every day.

I know that is the reader's digest condensed version but at least I got going for this year!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and a great start to 2009!
