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
Wii celebrated Jakob's big day with a Wii themed party. We had 5 boys over from his class and let them loose to play. We stopped for a snack break, then later a goody bag break, then cake and ice cream/gift break. It was so laid back it was shameful! Even the Wii remote cake was really easy to make. Now, taking a sibling picture, that was another story!
