5 x 5

Five things I learned this year;

1. Losing someone you love never gets any easier
2. That stressing out so much over (some of) the little things doesn't do me any good
3. It's ok to say "No" to things when you are already over-scheduled
4. Not to assume things about people or situations
5. That eating healthy goes hand in hand with exercising (this is a recurring revelation)
   

Five things I loved about 2008;

1. Having my family here in August
2. That our family (Ryan, Austin, Elijah and I) no longer feels like a blended family
3. Paying down some debt
4. Friendships growing stronger
5. A new appreciation for my husband and all he does for us

Five things I disliked about 2008;

1. The death of my Grandpa-I miss him so!
   
2. Procrastination on my part (this is vague, I know)
3. That we are still living in this house
4. The freaking economy and just how greedy some people can be
5. Debt
   

Five things I wish I had done this year;

1. Worked out more
2. Organized this house better
3. Planned meals ahead of time
   
4. Ok, that is all
5. For this one

Five things I would love to happen in 2009;

1. That I don't lose someone I love. I have been saying this for the last 6 years, and I pray that it will finally come true this year...I'm tired of being in various stages of grief
2. Oh, I don't know-that we sell this house
3. Find a church that I love
4. World peace-improbable, I know-we live in a fallen world
5. Go on a vacation with Ryan and the kids
   

Happy New Year!
