My First Entry

Well, I am new at this and would like to try my hand at journaling. I have had a good Christmas and New Year so far. I still have a few friends to see yet and need to clean up for my favorite girl friends to come over Tuesday night to exchange gifts and see my Christmas Decorations. I usually leave my tree up till Feb 1st so I can relax and enjoy the lights and decorations after Christmas. Well this year I found out the celebration of the Epifany on Jan 12 ends the original celebration of the Wise Men visting the baby Jesus and the end of the Christmas celebration. So now I don't feel as bad for leaving my Christmas decorations up. This is also where we got the "12 Days of Christmas" song.
I am looking forward to studing this week to prepare for my first teaching class at Midlands Tech next Thursday. I am also looking forward to my New Years resolution to clean up all the clutter in my house by simplifying and organizing.
My main prayer for this time in my life is that God will mend broken relationships in my family with everyone and that Ron will finish his schooling by April 1st, 2008. I also pray for my grandchildren that I love dearly and that God will alow me to spend quality time with them that affects their lives positively for Christ.

Hi,
I found your link via Debbie's site. I love your picture - you look so full of life! I bet you have a lot to write about and you only have one entry. What do you teach at Midlands tech? And who is Ron and what is he finishing school in?
My husband just started an MBA program last quarter here in Seattle.
I'm originally from the South, North Carolina to be exact. I've held to my roots in my things and am apalled at the lack of traditions and knowledge of etiquette on the west coast. Alas, I've been here in almost 8 years now.
Your comment about Midlands caught my attention because I'm starting to get involved with the Overlake Service League and becoming more interested in educational programs from birth to adult that communities offer because they promotoe lifetime learning and therefore socio-economic growth.
I'm familiar with Midlands because I graduated from CIU and lived in the area for a few years.
I was in the Christian Education and Family Ministries Program with the same advisor that Debbie had.
Good luck with your blog!
