Can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday that people were talking about Y2K. The new year brings many emotions for me. We moved into our house on December 23, 1999. We spent 9 months building our house. We did a lot of the work to save money. People kept telling us that we didn't know what we were doing with Y2K coming. Obviously, we didn't listen to them. :)

11 years ago, we decided that I shouldn't take any more birth control pills. WOW! Look at how much God has taught us about His perfect love through our infertility struggles. Though I would NEVER wish it on anyone, we wouldn't have Makenna if it hadn't happened. Do you know how much I adore her? Guess so if you ever read my posts. I always worried about getting pregnant since she's been home. I didn't know if I could ever love a biological child as much as I love her. Luckily, I neve had to face that.

A new year brings resolutions. Here are a few for me...

1 - Spend time in my Bible every day. I always try to do this, but I'm going to make it a priority.

2 - Exercise. I have a treadmill, and my butt needs to be on it.

3 - Don't talk to myself negatively. I constantly tell myself how fat I am, how inadequate I am, how pitiful I am. I'm realizing that it makes God unhappy for me to dishonor Him. He made me this way. My dr. says that I need to realize that the weight is one of the side effects of my meds and I can't live without the meds. Her exact words were, "Girl, you need some self-acceptance." I told her that I could if I was skinny. :)

4 - Spend more time with my parents. I'm starting to realize that they are nearing 70 years old and can't do all that they used to. I want to make many more memories.

There are many more things I have in mind for 2010. I just need to keep the list short! :)

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
