A bit premature for a thematic change? Perhaps. But I'm always excited for the weather of three months ahead...

2008 So far... A random list of things in no particular order:

Took down Christmas decorations and got a little bit obsessed with cleaning

Trimmed 3rd of three fruit trees - Yay! HUGE task done!
Made greeting cards for creativity and frugality's sake
Rearranged living room's furniture - LOVE it...
re-organized kitchen drawers - sigh, there's nothing quite like having all my storage stuff in order
Continuing secretary tasks for Grace Fellowship
Digging more into the Word - Fell in love with Romans again
Bundling up Sarah and going to parks even though it's usually too cold - she couldn't be happier and that makes me happy!
New Years party/sleep over with good friends
Helping to plan Body Life night for Grace - praying for God to continue to unify and grow our body
Baking cookies/bringing snacks for Jr. High girls Sunday morning...
Trading babysitting with my dear friend Jos
Visiting Library and checking out almost more books than can fit in my tote
Reading those books to Sarah again and again and again and again - marveling at her mind
Currently reading: The Scientist in the Crib, Romans, Wondertime magazine, Cost of Discipleship (though rather slowly)
Broke glass cooktop of my less-than-one-year-old-glass top stove - thankfully I'm married to amazingly grace-filled and quite handy husband who will do the repair so not as much money goes to Sears...
Trying to complete a SPU course in Writing the Story Book
Wondering if I should even pay any attention to American Idol this season and wondering where House went.
I AM READY FOR SPRING!!!
Checking on my little tulip bulbs pushing up through the soil already... Yay!
SO thankful for all the Lord has given me - feeling quite content....
