2007

Copying The Faithful Alligator:

1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before? Went to NYC without being accompanied by someone who knew his/her way around better than me!

2. What are your New Years Resolutions? I try not to make them, so I don't have to break them.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth in 2007? Yes, one of my bestest friends had her King in January, and then became a grandma in September.

4. Did anyone close to you die? No

5. What countries did you visit? Just the good ole' USA.

6 What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007? Better exercise habits.

7. What date(s) in 2007 will remain etched in your memory and why? Memorial Day weekend, when my love had a heart attack. It was a new birth experience, however, because he has worked hard to change his habits and become a better man in many many ways. Also, my dd's 10th birthday. She and I had a fantabulous girls' day all by ourselves at the American Girl Store in NYC. In August, she also gave her heart to Jesus and was baptized in the lake at church camp.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Finding a groove for seriously homeschooling two very different children.

9. What was your biggest failure? Spending too much on the credit cards :-(

11. What was the best thing someone bought you? Some nice clothing!

12. Whose behavior merited celebration? All of ours--we weathered a rough year and came out better on the other side.

13. Whose behavior appalled and depressed you? I'm right with Faithful Alligator--my pastor. He's gone now, yay. Talk about not having it, as a pastor, a husband, a shepherd, anything! Wierd situation that left many members hurt, angry, depressed, and just plain shaking their heads in dismay.

14. Where did most of your money go? Probably the largest chunk was spent on our vacation to the east coast in July.
