Resolution.

Less than 8 hours remain in 2010.

That blows my mind...I still remember last year's New Year's Eve potluck at work as if it were yesterday. Because of my new weekends-only status at work, I'm now mandated to work every holiday that falls on a weekend, so that is where I shall be once again. Matt has elected to stay in with Paige, and tomorrow we will all celebrate 2011, and hopefully a Spartan victory, as we watch the Capital One Bowl with good friends.

2010 was both a blur and a blessing. We've experienced love, friendship, loss, growth, tears, and, certainly, laughter. And grace...so much grace, which spurs me onto 2011 with faith and excitement for what's ahead.

My first resolution? 

This darn blog! I so love blogging, but for some reason the task of catching up in a way that will document Paige effectively is so daunting, I continue to put it off...which makes the task bigger...oh that vicious circle. In fact, I don't even have any holiday pics loaded onto my computer yet...good thing I have one week of vacation left before the new semester starts!

Second resolution (but probably most important): 

Actually show the gratitude I feel for those who touch my life--all the time, not just think of a cool way to do & then never follow through.

Third: 

Potty Training (post edit: for Paige, not myself!).

Matt, Paige, and I are so very blessed to have friends and family who care so much for us. We wish you nothing but the best for 2011, and hope you will cherish it for the gift that it is. Happy New Year!
