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!
