HAPPY NEW YEAR

WOW!!!!!!!! That is really the only word that I can use to describe the last two weeks. We had such a wonderful time with my family in town. We are so blessed to have wonderful family. I love my brother and his beautiful family. I don't think I can ever get enough of my three adorable neices. I love my sister and her beautful family. My nephew is so cute that he makes me want to have ten more children.
I think the other word I would use to describe our two weeks is CRAZY!!!!!!! We started out the trip with a broken back window in our Expedition on the holiday weekend and we ended the trip with everyone managing to get the stomach flu and horriable colds. Through all of this we still kept our perspective that we were only together for a short time and enjoy that time (even if you are throwing up).
Everyone but my mom left today. I feel an extreme since of saddness. I am prepared for this because I knew I would feel this way.
I am ready to jump into this new year and make a few changes. I'm not sure what the the changes are going to be so you will have to stay tuned, but I'm sure they are going to be good ones. I'm sure that some new clothes are going to have to fit into those new changes.

Yuck! I'm glad to hear that you're doing better....the flu is the worst! I'm totally blessed by your positive attitude about it, though. Seriously, awesome.

So glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas - even with the barfing flu! You are so gracious, Kristan. A wonderful gift. Could we get the girls together for a play date? Kamryn would love that.
