Happy New Year!

Well, I never even got used to writing "2015" and now it's 2016.  

Happy New Year!

Like almost everyone, I've spent a lot of time over the past few days reflecting over the year.  We've had ups and downs,  but the main thing that stands out to me about 2015 is how the Lord provided for us.  So many situations, most that I didn't publicize, too many to list here.  I can really become overwhelmed with gratitude if I think about just how much God has done for us over the course of 2015.  I'm grateful.

I do have a few resolutions.  First, I want to get back on track in working on my health.  I didn't lose as much weight as I wanted to last year, but I really do feel that I made a lifestyle change in regards to food.  I was being hard on myself but then I realized that I really made progress and pretty much stuck with a healthy lifestyle until November.  Then Thanksgiving happened and I've done TERRIBLY since.  I'm not focusing on that, just looking ahead, and looking forward to getting back on track.

I also want to blog more.  I really enjoy it,  but it's hard to find time or energy to do it.  

We spent New Years Eve with my parents and sister's family.  Of course, we ate too much and it was really hard for me to stay awake until midnight!

I spent today catching up on laundry.  Our dryer kicked the bucket a few days before Christmas.  My Granny was gracious enough to let use hers until we bought another one, but going over there was so stressful!  I typically do 3 loads a day.  I felt bad about using Granny's dryer so much until she told me that she only did 1 load per week.  Per week?!?!?  I can't even imagine.  Obviously, the laundry fell  behind, so I caught it up today.  And I love my new dryer.  I also spent the day doctoring Jordan's Infantigo.  Gross.

We went to my parents for New Years dinner.  

We had a good spread and went beyond the peas and greens!

Violet ended the night by pitching the mother of all temper tantrums.  She's currently in bed pouting and I hope she goes to sleep soon.  

Shaun, Jordan, and Chris are busy with Call of Duty and I'm headed to bed.  2016 has me tired out already!
