Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!! Here's to a great 2008! I've finally returned from my blogging hiatus and am back!! It's been a crazy busy last couple of weeks, and spending time on the computer has fallen off the radar.... but I'm back baby! LOL!

Matt, I and the kids celebrated in style last night over at the Hodapp's house and had a wonderful time! There is nothing better than being able to ring in the new year with neighbors (and not having to drive anywhere) and having your kids there as well.

The kids had a blast and stayed up much later than I would have guessed. They all wore their jammies with the intention of having a slumber party in the basement, but *shockingly* they lasted the entire night... Actually, they outlasted their mom!!!

Andrea took a few pictures last night. (Fran/Wendell -- click on the word "pictures" and you can view them). I love the one of Caleb and Collin, those two are the best of buddies! And yes, if you're wondering, my eyes are "a little" glassy. Troy made FAB martinis and I indulged... a few too many!

Because I wasn't able (feel free to read between the lines here) Matt got up and spent the day with the kids. I did a lot of sleeping! In my defense, I RARELY drink, so I felt totally justified! LOL.

In the past, I've made resolutions, only to break them, so this year I'm not making any. Resolutions only set you up to fail, and make you feel guilty when you do. So, instead of New Year Resolutions this year, I'm setting goals, and ironically enough, they aren't as specific as resolutions I've made in the past. This year, I'm going to aim to be the best wife, mother and friend I can be. That's it. Overall, I want to strive to be the best I can be... I will falter from time to time, and that's fine, but overall I want to be the best I can be for everyone in my life.

Here's to a wonderful new year!
