New Year's Resolutions

These images show us on a tour of Lucas Oil Stadium (thank you Gigi). When inside there is a real feeling of "boy is this place big, and am I little!!" The year ahead has me feeling a bit this way as well.

Each new year I start with images of resolutions successfully completed whirling through my head. Lose ten pounds, get the kids more active and disciplined regarding chores, be a better wife.... I can go on and on. But the reality is in years past, usually by mid Jan., I have already broken, forgotten or given up on most of my vast collection of "resolutions". By then I am vowing not to do it again the next year, as it only leaves me feeling like a failure. And then I do it again anyway! :)

So what am I doing this year? Well, the same thing. lol! But hopefully, with a lot of prayer and a little gumption, I can succeed in at least one of my goals. With so much to look forward to this year as far as change, I am hoping to put more stability in our home by adding more structure. And most of you know, this is not an area of strength for me. We did do this over the summer when Mike was gone and it went great! Then we were out of state for 3 1/2 weeks and it all fell apart.

Mike is now just a week away from his Air Force physical, and if he passes (which we assume he will) we will then be in the starting gate waiting for the bell. I don't know exactly when "the race" will start, but when it does it will include his being gone for 11 weeks, my quitting my job, selling our house, packing it up, then moving somewhere new (which we have no clue where that is yet) and then lots more change. And I mean LOTS OF CHANGE!

So this year I hope the resolution thing goes a little better as I feel putting a little bit of 'expected' into all of the unexpected to come, may just help us all make it through a little easier. And in it all I am hoping to regularly remember that although I may be "little", my God is WAY bigger than any of what lies ahead for us.

We covet your prayers through it all and hope to have more to share soon.

Love you all,

Robin

Where has the time gone???

OK, so a few seasons have flown by. The summer found us spending a month without daddy as he was in Tx painting with his cousin. The second half the kids and I went down to spend time with family and enjoy being with daddy again! The fall was filled with pumpkin patch visits, apple picking and Kaka coming to see us. Audrey cheered the Giants on to an undefeated season! Halloween was fun, Jakob completed a month of therapy and school was up and running with both of the older 2 doing great in the 2nd grade. Now winter is crouching at our door and the Christmas decorations are up. I can't believe another year has come to a close. So much lay before us as far as possibilities but it's all still up in the air. As soon as we get word as to what the future holds, we shall be sure to share it. AND I have a resolution to try and keep up to date on my blog. But don't hold your breath!
