My husband left for California today to pick up his father. They are going to be driving back due to his father.
To say that I am bummed is an understatement. My husband is my best friend and I truly love talking with him, hanging out with him, and just being with him. I hate when he leaves for business or like this. This is the second time he has managed to go to California without us. He went out for a week back in 2005 on business with SDFA (our old church in SD).
I just am praying that they get home quickly. I am ready to get this whole thing with his dad finalized.

Sad day in our house
It is a sad day in our house.
Our beloved San Diego Chargers and Green Bay Packers have lost their chances for the Super Bowl.
Our family cheers on both teams as I am a native San Diegan and Mr. A's extended family is from Wisconsin. That makes him a Packer fan by birth. I adopted the Packer's when I married him but I was not willing to give up my Chargers.
The Packer game was a nail biter until the very end. I was hoping they would have pulled it together, but unfortunately not.
I am not looking forward to the Super Bowl because I don't want either team to win. I really don't like the Patriots at all and as a San Diegan I really don't like Eli Manning for thinking he was too good for the Chargers. I guess if I have to choose I would choose the Giants, but I think I will be watching the game for the commercials this year.

The unknown
This year has turned out to be a great one so far. Things are going well for the church, our house has had couple of people look at it, the girls are doing great in school - things are great!
However, there is going to be a big change at our house. Mr. A's father is moving out here. We are going to house him until we can get him into a retirement community that fits his needs. Some of you out there are thinking, what are you doing? I could never have my in-laws live with me! Yet there are others of you who are thinking how wonderful of an opportunity this is. Me...it is just the unknown.
We don't really know my father-in-law. He has been in and out of our lives for as long as I can remember. I think I can count on my two hands the amount of time I have spent with him in the last almost 15 years I have been with my husband. I really don't know him.
I just want everything to go well, but I know in the back of my mind, I am thinking it won't. I am really trying to stay positive for both Mr. A & the girls. I know he is just as concerned as I am on some items, but we have to at least try.
Pray for us in the next few months that everything comes together quickly, easily and smoothly.

Happy 2008!
Happy 2008 everyone!
Our family started the day with one of our traditions...watching the Rose Parade. Growing up in California, we did this every year. We would wake up, turn on the tube and eat breakfast while watching the parade. I love doing that with my girls now...and it was fun doing it again with my parents.
The only downside is we only have 1 channel that gives us decent coverage...and it isn't that great. Back home, it is on at least 4 or 5 different channels from different vantage points and it runs on and off all day. So if you miss it you can come back watch it again. Out here on the east coast the coverage is lame, but it is still the Rose Parade.
The other reason I love the parade is all the flowers. I am a flower freak! You wouldn't know it by looking at my yard now, but I want flowers everywhere. I even took a flower design course in college. I love flowers and the Rose Parade is full of them. I am always amazed at the designs and colors of each float. I would love to see it in person some time.
As for the usual resolutions, I decided not to make any resolutions this year. I am just going to try harder at a lot of things...my health, my family, my relationship with God, my attitude...my life! I know I haven't been giving things 100% and I want to change that. I am not going to make lists or anything like that.
I am just going to put my focus on God and if that is right, everything else will fall into place.
Happy 2008 to you and yours!
