happynewyear!

i thought i'd start the new year off right with a blog post since i've not done that in a while. we're back in the swing of things again at home and settling in again.

2007 was a good year for us, but it was also filled with a lot of not-so-good stuff and some of the most toughest times we've faced yet. so we're looking forward to 2008 being the best year yet!

last night was a good start to the new year. we had a fun and enjoyable team-reid-prepared dinner in our new house. then we went to a good friend's house for a new year's gathering. once the ball dropped and we rang in the new year, we headed home where we picked up a hitch-hiker (at 1:00 in the AM)! we were a little nervous but we've promised to be better people this year. and the hitch-hiker was a woman and she looked legitimately in need. so we took her a few blocks to a friend's home with no problems on our end. this morning we slept in ( really, really slept in. i won't give you the time we woke up!). we're about to head to church and then hopefully spend an enjoyable day playing and resting. all-in-all it promises to be a great start to 2008.

i hope you all had a happy and peaceful new years and i wish you all the best for this new year.
