Wait!?!?!?!

I thought I had posted at least 2-3 times in 2011...only to find the first two months of this year have slipped past me without a post at all :(  Where did the time go?

Well, in January we had snow...and it was nice because we never lost power.  We also managed to plug away at school, so our calendar will still allow us to end at mid May as originally planned.  I also had my annual Crop Til You Drop retreat..getting a lot of pages done in my own albums.  Most of the ladies got a lot done as well.  Each year I learn more about how to put together a retreat that works well for those who are in attendance...and many of the 'repeat' attendees commented that it was the best yet as far as their productivity. 

In February, I turned 44 years old.  The years just keep  ticking away, but God is faithful and I am grateful for that.  Overall I feel that I have good health and a caring family and friends as well.  

During this time period, I also learned that we'd be having a reunion to honor our high school band director.  I am very excited about this, as he was a very influential man in my life on so many levels.  Going back to my hometown to join many former classmates in late April is something I am already looking forward to.

We are praying about schooling choices for Abigail next year as she enters sixth grade..and there is a good possibility that she will attend  'traditional' school after 6 years of being homeschooled.  We are trusting God to open the doors to the right school as well as to part time employment for me to pay for her tuition.  Trusting and waiting is not always an easy thing for me...so your prayers would be appreciated.  There are so many good options out there....but we want HIS best for our family.

So..those are just a few of the things going on right now with us......Happy new year..a few months late!
