The New Year

It is so hard to believe that we are almost done with the first month of 2008. I am hoping and praying that this year brings positive changes to our country and government.

This is the year that my oldest niece will graduate from high school, she will be able to vote in her first presidential election, and in August she will be off to college to start her adult life. WOW!! Kiran is going to have difficult time with that move. Laura was with us for the first two weeks that Kiran was home from India. Laura is big sister, mentor, and great friend all rolled into one. I am just thankful that the college she wants to go to is only 20 miles away from us.

My kid just keeps coming up the lines that make me smile and laugh. We had a great discussion the other day about keeping our house clean and how great it would be for her to start helping me more around here. I was telling her that it is hard to keep our house clean after working all day, coming home making dinner and then spending some quality time with her. Instead of saying I will do what I can mommy, she looked at me in all seriousness and said, "It's not fault that you never got married." Referring to the fact that if I had gotten married, I would not have to do all the work be myself. Where do kids come up with these things.

Having your priorities right is just one of many things I love about you! I may worry, but I know that you are doing the right things, the necessary things when you aren't around!

Being everything is something very few I've ever known could do; you not only do it, but do it well!
