I have a few minutes before the darth vadar pretending, hulk smashing, can I have a snack asking, don't touch your brother requesting begins again. My house is quiet for a moment, so I thought I'd blog instead of folding the pile of laundry on the couch that is so desperately calling my name. Nash is napping and Braxton is playing quietly with his Tinker Toys in his room. (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Tinker Toys by the way.) The only sound I can hear is the typing from my computer and the sloshing of the load of laundry in the washer...better fold that pile on the couch before adding more to it, right? :)
I finally feel somewhat back in order from the holidays. My house is normal looking again. I miss the twinkly lights of my Christmas tree and I miss the stockings hung with care. Only 11 more months until I get to decorate again! We were truly blessed this Christmas and love the treasures given to us by all of our family. My parents and Steve's parents went in together and got the boys a swing set for the backyard. They are loving it!! I'll post pictures of it on a different day. It is freezing today and rainy. I do not think it would be fabulous parenting if I sat my kids outside in the rain to take a picture right now.
I haven't really made any New Year's resolutions except for the ones I always make: Get Organized, Lose Weight, Get in Shape, Spend more time in the Word and less time on the internet. I usually fall off the wagon so I don't know why I make resolutions. I guess it's better to start the year off right with a few goals than to keep on doing what I'm doing. So perhaps those are my resolutions, again.
One goal Steve and I have together in 2009 is to be more aggressive in tackling our debt. I hate debt. It is a thorn in my side that won't go away. We are not frivolous and we are making good choices with our money. We are all about Dave Ramsey and are trying to seek wisdom from the Father with every financial decision we make. We are facing it head on, but it seems like it just won't budge. One thing we have done in our attempt to be debt free is we have gone to one car. That's right folks, we share a car. We are going on month 5 of this journey and I must admit that it is taking it's toll. My most recent prayer request is for a set of wheels, nothing fancy, just something that gets from here to there.
Well, my house is starting to rumble. Braxton is by my side, complaining of hunger pains and wanting to watch a cartoon. I can now hear Nash crying in the monitor and waking up way too soon. My moment of aloneness is coming to an end, and so is my little blog entry for the day!

Kathryn, I think we both have the same goals for this year. :) Here's to achieving them!!
Here, here to no debt! We finally have college paid off...but there is still so much to go! Take care and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I didn't make any resolutions, either...why set myself for failure?! :)
Oh, Kathryn. We too are doing Dave Ramsey and it's exhausting. But, as Chris reminds me....we didn't get this way in two months, it tooks years to amount debt. I can survive this year for the goal at the end. It just stinks that we are trying to lose weight too! Dieting and budgeting are bears!!
Hang in there Kathryn, just like we talked last night, we're all in this together...we're all seeming to work on the same thing...we'll be right there with you, praying for you and hoping that it will all work out the way it should, and WILL!!
