What I've Learned in 2008

It's New Year's Eve and I've been thinking about some of the things that I've learned in 2008. Here are a few thoughts in no particular order.

- If it's been raining outside or is above freezing, check the dogs feet BEFORE he comes inside!

- Young love trumps parental reasoning (or any other type of reasoning).

- After 21 years of marriage, I am amazed at how my love, respect, and admiration for Jeff still continues to grow.

- Making repairs and fixing up a house is EXPENSIVE!!

- Life is easier if you do your devotions and talk to God daily.

- Grocery shopping for two is WAY cheaper than shopping for four.

- Parenting is just as tough when your kids are adults, just in a different way.

- Be content with where you are in life; dream big for the future, but be flexible enough to follow God's leading.

- If the dishes coming out of the dishwasher don't seem clean, stop IMMEDIATELY and run the dishwasher!!

- Appreciate every day that God gives you on this earth.
