Happy New Year!

We just finished making up our family list of New Year's Resolutions and we're feeling really optimistic about actually accomplishing them. This is our first year giving the resolution thing a try and the kids have really embraced it, even creating a list of two individual things they'd like to do over the next year.

I'm particularly excited about the "visit 5 national/state parks" goal. We've already identified the parks and planned when to take them. It's going to be particularly important to have these kinds of things this year because our main family vacation is going to be moving... tons o' fun there :P It's reassuring to know tho that we've planned far enough in advance to know what we're doing all the way into September, which gets us past the move and into the next school year. So though we can't plan every little detail I think that it will help the kids feel more secure with all the change going on.

We're particularly looking forward to getting to know the church body we've identified as a serious contender over in Ft. Washington, it will be a hike, but if things work out with the church and the school it will be more than worth the effort when the time comes to move. Dan and I scouted/attended services last week and really enjoyed the message. Dan even talked with a man who spoke enthusiastically about a young couples group at the church... do we still qualify for young?!

Well, we wish all of the best for all of you out there that may (or not) see this - Happy New Year and God Bless!
