Happy New Year!!

Wow, I can't believe it is 2008. Time is really flying lately. I hope that it slows down at some point along the way but I have a feeling it won't. 2007 was a "wacky/weird" year to say the least. Lots of crazy stuff and lots of heartache but also much joy and many blessings. This year in particular I truly feel that I am starting a clean slate. We are (God- willing) going to build our hopefully final home. (Laugh as you all may....) We will become a part of a church family again some time this year. (Just not sure where, yet.) So many things to be excited about that this year will bring. I know a new year means new challenges, too, but I am not worried about those because I don't have to handle them. I just feel like this year a lot of things will fall into place for us and also that some of the loose ends from last year will be neatly tied up. I am looking forward to 2008 and what it holds for us. I have a sense of peace about it. As for the land front- we found a lot that we both loved and we have been to see it several times. We would be the first ones to purchase a lot in this subdivision, so we would get first choice. Our builder would be allowed to build our home, too. The lot we like is the original homeplace that was on the property before it was developed. I will try to post pictures soon. We want to buy 2 lots which would give us 1.2-1.3 acres. We are meeting with the developer in the morning to talk about it, so we are really excited. It is only about 4 miles from the girls school- which would be amazing. We wouldn't be able to go to the church we like, but I feel like God may have just sent us there temporarily to heal and get refueled and take what we learned to another place. I don't think it was a coincidence that we started going there the very Sunday that the study on discipleship started and this Sunday is the last one for that study. Things just seem to be falling into place. Anyway- we will see what the developer says tommorrow. If anything is not spelled correctly or I have used bad grammar, please excuse it. I have periodic issues with insomnia and the past 2 weeks I have averaged about 4 hours sleep a night. Last night it was about 3 hours. Then this morning, I was the first to get up and I thought it was unusually cold in the house. I just decided it was probably because it was 16 degrees outside and forgot about it, only to realize a little while later that the heat had broken down sometime during the night and it was about 57 degrees in our house. The guys from the heat and air place are coming by here this afternoon to fix whatever it is. Hopefully it is just something minor!! Hope everybody had a great New Year's day and that the New Year holds something wonderful for each of you.
