The Last Week Of The Year

Its hard to believe that we are in the last week of 2010. It literally feels like we were just at the New Year's Eve party across the street with all the neighbors. Now here we are...a whole year later. Time is flying by.

So, what has happened in this last year...

  • Everyone is a year older.
  • We celebrated our 1st anniversary in our home.
  • My sister and her family moved closer...only a 6 hour drive away!
  • Jennie learned to ride a two-wheeler bike.
  • We tried to sell our house...but God had other plans :)
  • Visited DC a couple times.
  • Jennie started full time school.
  • Kohl moved up to the intermediate school.
  • The boys started walking to school together.
  • I became a crossing guard.
  • Kendall made a job change...and has never been happier!!!
  • I started a non-profit! www.kidsofsudan.org
  • Kohl joined a basketball team!
  • Parker and Jennie earned yellow belts in Kuk Sul Do!
  • My parents came to visit for two weeks.
  • We hosted 21 people for Thanksgiving in our little 1890s house...it was fun!
  • We've spent alot of time with our friends and the families we've come to know from Sudan. We are even learning a little Dinka(tribal language) along the way.

Now in this last week of the year, I'll be taking some time to outline goals for the New Year. We will sit down as a family and come up with goals together and individually. Things we'd like to accomplish as a group and on our own. So, look for another post this week!

What are some of your fond memories/accomplishments from 2010? Now is the time to list them, brag a little...its okay...toot your own horn.

I applied for a job and started working (very) part time while the kids are in school! Back to work for the first time in 9 years is a very big accomplishment for me -- I was terrified. LOL!
