If you've ever walked by a display of New Year's paraphenalia at Target and wondered, "Who buys 2009 eyeglasses, hats, noiseblowers and confetti," meet their target market (well, except for the confetti). I love everything about New Year's- staying up with people you love, reflecting on the last year, a chance to get organized, a fresh start.
In celebration of this glorious holiday, Adam and I make predictions for the coming year each New Year's Eve. On December 31st, we read our 2008 predictions. I can't believe (can't believe!) how much change there has been in this past year!
One year ago this week:
-we didn't know whether Adam would get into dental school
-we didn't know that Burke was a boy
-we didn't know that Jord would have a baby this year!?!
-we didn't know that mom and dad would be moving to Denver
-we didn't know that we'd change churches this year
-several people that we call good friends we hadn't even met yet at this time last year
-we didn't know the adventure that labor would be (adam predicted that my labor would last six hours... :)
-we didn't know whether I'd be teaching this year
If you don't have a New Year's Eve tradition, I'd highly recommend this one. The payoff takes a little while, but is totally worth it. :)
ps- The fam is all gone... pictures of Christmas to come...
